Nipissing University offers a certificate in Digital Humanities, allowing students to study and gain expertise in understanding our digital world. Study combines theoretical, analytical, and hands-on approaches.
At Nipissing University, the Digital Humanities courses investigate how traditional humanities questions can be explored using digital tools and methodologies. They also call into question how digital technology is having a transformational impact upon our communication, our society, and our selves.
The topics covered by Digital Humanities at Nipissing University include:
- text encoding and digital text editing
- automated information extraction
- computational stylistic analysis
- automated analysis of digital communication (including social computing)
- visualization of humanities-based data
- digital analysis of painting and music
- the study of digital games
- the study of hypertext
- digital social profiling
- tools for digital pedagogy
- theories of posthumanism
Please see the list of recent courses for more information about some of the topics in which students and teachers engage.
