Unlocking the Past in the Digital Age: Research Questions, Methods, and Best Practices

16.11.2023 klo 09:30 -  klo 13:15 Tieteiden talo, Kirkkokatu 6, Helsinki (huone 505)
--------------------------------------------
This half-day seminar will explore issues that all digital humanities projects are facing today: how best to process – structure, compare, contrast and share – data, how to guide users in understanding these choices and the local specificities of the data, and how to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods. In ”All Data Are Local: Thinking Critically in a Data-Driven Society” (MIT Press, 2019), Yanni Alexander Loukissas emphasizes that we should learn to analyze data settings rather than data sets; this seminar follows in Loukissas’ footsteps and asks what unknown and unexpected insights we can gain by paying critical attention to the biases and temporal and spatial layers in the data we process and study. The seminar will also provide concrete examples of data sets and settings currently being aggregated and used in digital humanities research projects, and will discuss the potential impact of such research.

Please register by 6th November: https://seco.cs.aalto.fi/events/2023/2023-11-16-unlocking-the-past/

The seminar is organised by the Finnish Literature Society and the research project Constellations of Correspondence: Large and Small Networks of Epistolary Exchange in the Grand Duchy of Finland (Academy of Finland, decision numbers 339828, 340834 and 339918).
