WDS-related Events
Digital Humanities – The perspective of Africa
Digital Humanities – The perspective of Africa is a satellite workshop of DH2019, the international Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations conference for the Digital Humanities in Utrecht (9–12 July 2019).
From 1–5 July 2019, in the week before DH2019, the Lorentz Center in Leiden will host a workshop aimed at the articulation of the specific developments in the field of digital humanities (DH) that are taking shape in Africa and their potential to enhance the global DH agenda. In addition, attention will be given to capacity building and the planning of initiatives along the lines of ‘science4development’. The programme will include introductions into the infrastructural support for DH and the most widely used data analysis methods within the humanities and social sciences (see http://carpentryconnectza.org/ for a recent example of such a ‘Data and DH/Library carpentry’ event). Results of the workshop’s project-related activities may be selected for presentation during a special slot of DH2019.
Ingrid Dillo (Vice-chair of the WDS Scientific Committee) will give a talk about CoreTrustSeal certification and the World Data System at this workshop.
