This workshop outlines the basic frameworks for design of a digital humanities project from intellectual, technical and institutional/pragmatic perspectives. After a brief overview of project basics, the workshop will focus on the role of data visualization in several specific case studies, including discussion of the limits and benefits of current conventions.

We will work on a project in-class with attention to the way research questions and project goals are integrated into the design (including decisions about data models, tools and platforms, infrastructure, display and analysis).

The workshop will be led by renowned scholar Johanna Drucker, Breslauer Professor of Bibliographical Studies in the Department of Information Studies at University of California, Los Angeles.

The Zurack Family High-Technology Collaboration Center is located in Bartle Library, LN-1302C (map).
