Critical DH Co-Working Groups

Critical DH Co-Working Groups

CDHI is offering themed co-working groups to support cross-cutting and peer-to-peer learning. The goal of the co-working groups is to offer training and knowledge sharing opportunities that are deeper than a workshop, but less formal than a course. The groups will provide time and (virtual) space for members to learn new skills, troubleshoot issues related to DH research, and form interdisciplinary connections.

Digital Texts, Spring 2023

This group will bring together researchers working with digital text work, methods, and approaches. In particular, this group will support colleagues working on pre-19th century projects through the lens of critical DH.

This group meets on alternating Wednesdays, 4:00 – 5:00 PM.
