Target Audience and the Aim of the Workshop
===========================================
Computers are coming to play a steadily more prominent role in the various fields of modern scholarship, including literature, linguistics, cultural studies, history, and religious studies. The goal of this workshop is to raise awareness of how we can apply digital technologies in humanities studies. Lectures by invited speakers will provide a general introduction to the state of the art in digital humanities as well as excellent examples of computer-assisted text analysis and creation and management of humanities digital resources. Hands-on workshop exercises will provide an opportunity for participants to acquire practical skills by trying out some of the resources and techniques demonstrated in the lectures. Discussion sessions will be held to complement the lectures and workshops, through which participants will have a chance to receive expert advice on how to initiate and develop their own projects.
