This course is a pre-approved elective for Spring Term 2019.

This course introduces students to the use of computational modeling and programming to conduct text-based research in the humanities. Course goals include 1) learning how to identify research questions in the humanities that are amenable to computational analysis and processing and 2) designing and implementing xml-based computational systems to explore those questions. No prior programming experience or knowledge of foreign languages required.
