DHIB 2023 SCHEDULE TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
The humanities in the twenty-first century have taken a decidedly digital turn. In some cases this means traditional questions are addressed with new digital skills or new modes of scholarly communication, in others, entirely new research questions are emerging with technology. The main goal of the Institute is to create an environment where different stakeholders in the academic communities of Lebanon and the region learn together about new computing technologies and their impact on the humanities. This institute comes at a time when a number of experiments in digital approaches to the humanities have already been launched at local and regional levels. DHI-Beirut is designed as a meeting place, between departments, between units of the university, between universities and research centres. It features courses, presentations and lectures, conceived with a collegial spirit of collaboration in mind. The courses bear no credit and there are no exams, just learning and experimentation. They should provide graduate students with an introduction to selected digital skills for research for their theses. They are designed with students, faculty, IT and staff in mind. They will be taught by MA and PhD students, librarians, instructors and professors. After 2013, DHI-B developed into a themed biennial event featuring panel discussions, keynotes and lightning talks. Other DH related workshops and events have also been organized by the coordinating committee. Visit us here and follow us on Twitter for updates and announcements about new workshops and the launching of our DH Cafe.
