Description: This collaboratively taught seminar exposes graduate students to interdisciplinary and evolving digital methods for discovery and knowledge construction in the humanities and allied social sciences. In particular, it focuses on how information flows in and out of sociotechnical systems, the ways that researchers access, arrange, organize and describe information for use in their disciplinary context and how that shapes thoughtful, expansive inquiry. Students will do hands-on work with data and methods and interrogate their affordances and limitations. Mini-units in this course will be led by faculty from a variety departments, including History, Political Science, Economics, English, Sociology, Information Science, and History of Art and Architecture.
