Spring School „Text as Data“ in Potsdam! (March 31 st – April 4 th , 2025)
The international Spring School is co-organised by the DH Network of the University of Potsdam and the Department of Digital Humanities and Social Studies of the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. The Spring School is aimed at students and early-career scholars* who are beginning to explore Digital Humanities (DH) and are interested in working with textual sources. While traditional hermeneutic approaches remain crucial in the humanities, computational methods offer additional perspectives for textual analysis. The Spring School aims to guide participants through the process of formulating a research question about a textual source and creating a corpus to developing a comprehensive research project. Participation is free of charge. Workshops and talks will be held in English.
The focus of the week-long Spring School lies in the following themes:
• (mindful) research design, operationalisation and corpus selection
• Topic Modeling
• Stylometry
• Mapping of textual Data
• Network analysis
Application deadline is November 30 th , 2024.
