HSOC-296: Digital Humanities

Libraries, archives, museums, the great repositories of the human past, make available sources that have enhanced how we learn subjects and make things. The vast digital collections on the Web have transformed the way we study the past achievements of humans, whether history, literature, philosophy, music, or art. This is a practice-based humanities course with a research and design component. Students work individually or collaboratively on projects such as history websites, video essays, set designs or promotional materials for plays or operas.
