The Digital Humanities Coursebook Applied Concepts and Critical Approaches

Johanna Drucker's The Digital Humanities Coursebook offers critical frameworks for engaging with digital methods in research and scholarship. This guide provides fundamental concepts for applying digital humanities tools and platforms, emphasizing underlying principles rather than specific software. It integrates the acquisition of technical expertise in areas such as data modeling, visualization, network analysis, and web presentation with crucial considerations of intellectual property, sustainability, privacy, and the ethical use of information.

Structured with modules that include thought experiments and practical examples, the book serves as a resource for students and educators in digital humanities, library and information science, English, and computer science. It demonstrates that effective application of digital humanities is inseparable from critical inquiry, equipping readers to navigate the evolving landscape of digital scholarship.
