Introduction to Digital Humanities

Catalog description

As the role of digital technology continues to reshape the lives of humans, we must have digital literacy as well as an understanding of the implications of technology. This course bridges the interrelated fields of ethnic studies, gender studies, and disability studies, alongside Digital Humanities to give students the technical skills and critical thinking skills to produce digital projects centered on power and justice. Students will analyze and evaluate the efficacy of digital projects that center the study of racialized and marginalized groups to show the utility and necessity of diverse voices in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Students will also design projects that help to answer these questions in digestible, engaging, and interactive ways to support the flow of knowledge from the classroom to the world at large. This course fulfills Information and Technological Literacy General Education requirements.
