Digital Humanities and Digital Communication: New Approaches to Core Questions

Host Institution: Università di Modena-Reggio Emilia
Coordinating Institution: Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Website: https://www.summerschooldigitalhumanities.unimore.it/

Dates: 06-Jun-2022 - 10-Jun-2022
Location: Modena, Emilia Romagna, Italy

Focus: Use of digital tools in the humanities dates back to the early days of computers. As the technology evolved, and as computers began driving communication itself (spoken, written, and visual), researchers increasing applied digital approaches in their quest to understand the multiple channels through which people express themselves. These same tools made possible an explosion of new forms of interaction, from digital classrooms to digital publishing, from online social networks to information instantly accessible online, from free translation tools to sophisticated computer software for identifying authorship.

Underlying many of these developments has been the remarkable progress in artificial intelligence. Deep neural networks, coupled with massive databases, have transformed the level of analysis we can perform, the novel text we can generate, and potential partnerships between humans and computers. While the potential of AI is far-reaching – from powering self-driving cars to predicting the next pandemic – AI-driven programs already touch the lives of all of us as readers, writers, and speakers.
Minimum Education Level: MA

Description:
The 2022 Summer School of the UNIMORE Doctoral Program in Human Sciences will
explore how newly emerging AI digital tools are being applied to questions at
the core of both the humanities and communication.

The programme combines lectures by invited speakers and workshops where young
researchers can present their work and get feedback from the invited speakers.
The sessions will include both lectures by prominent researchers and hands-on
workshops in which participants will be able to work with a variety of program
applications.

The Summer School will be held in presence in Modena, participation is free of
charge.

Tuition: 0 

Tuition Explanation: Participation is free of charge.

Registration: 30-Mar-2022 to 19-Apr-2022

Registration Instructions:
The selection of participants is based on a review process organised by the
scientific committee of the summer school. This process is open to all PhD
students and to young non-tenured researchers. The application will be
subjected to a double blind peer review. Based on this review, the scientific
committee of the summer school will select the participants.

The selection criteria are:

quality of the PhD project, assessed in relation to its i) theoretical
approach, ii) methodological standards and iii) potential for innovation;
the relevance of the aims and objectives of the PhD project within the areas
covered.
Participants will be expected to present their work at the Summer School,
either in the form of a presentation or of a poster.
