Call for applications, FUB-HUJI Digital Humanities Winterschool, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 27.2-1.3.2023, 

Funded by the German Israeli Foundation (GIF) and the German U15 e.V. the Hebrew University of Jerusalem הַאוּנִיבֶרְסִיטָה הַעִבְרִית בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם (HUJI) and the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) are hosting a joint DH Winterschool. This year’s school will follow the data-cycle of a DH project from the fundamental question of how to translate a humanistic research question into operational commands that a machine can execute to the conceptualization and planning of a project’s pipeline. The mode of teaching in the winter school will combine introductory talks with practical workshops, giving students the opportunity to experience hands-on the practical application of the models and methods discussed in the lectures. The school’s workshops will address main steps in DH projects, from initial challenges in the acquisition, mining, and digitization of analog sources, to methods for organizing and cleaning one’s data, through theoretical and practical questions relating to the representing humanistic data in database form, as well as common methods for analyzing and processing humanistic data, and finally critical engagement with tools and platforms for visualization and sharing of the findings and results from the digital project.
