Building Awareness of Digital Research Tools through Graduate Workshop
On October 28, 2024, the Center hosted “Reimagining Humanities Research,” a workshop that brought together graduate students across disciplines and departments to learn about digital research methods and tools. Drawing from her experiences working on the Chinese Historical Christian Database under the mentorship of Professor Eugenio Menegon (HI), PhD student Greta Rauch Frei (HI) introduced her peers to geospatial technologies, social network analysis, natural language processes, and digital archiving. Attendees gathered for lunch before the workshop, where they had the opportunity to discuss their own projects and interests. The workshop was conceived as part of the Center’s Digital Initiative in furtherance of its commitment to enable humanities scholars to tap into expertise and resources for digital scholarship from across the university.
