Digitalis – a day for digital ’natives’ and ’immigrants’
The MA course encourages a multidisciplinary approach to digital arts and humanities in a creative and scholarly atmosphere.
The course itself gives an introduction into how digital tools and methods can be used in arts and humanities research, combining theory and practice.
The course is a real eye opener of how digital tools have become part of everyday life for 'Digital Natives' and those who have been introduced to these technologies from the 1980’s and who are referred to as 'Digital Immigrants'.
The day also coincides with the 200th anniversary of George Boole.
As the 2014/2015 students come to end of their classes and begin research for their thesis, due in September, they will come together to present their ideas and knowledge of areas within digital humanities.
This year’s class already have backgrounds in a broad spectrum of professions and academia fields from art history and archaeology, history to the media and the arts to marketing.
