Overview
What you will study
The Faculty of Humanities at North-West University (NWU), South Africa, is pleased to announce its first conference on Digital Humanities in Precarious Times. DH is both an academic field and a community of practice which has been evolving over the past decades. It is characteristically concerned with the application of computational tools and methods to traditional humanities studies such as linguistics, literature, music, history, philosophy, etc. Advances in technology have led to more sophisticated computing power that have ushered in novel DH methodologies.
