On August 12, 2023 (Saturday) from 9:00 AM to 12:00AM, the "International Joint Summer Workshop on Digital Humanities 2023" Student Project Exhibition will take place at Global Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center at Peking University. Everyone is cordially invited to attend!
The International Joint Summer Workshop on Digital Humanities, a collaborative endeavor by Peking University, Harvard University, and Princeton University, is making its inaugural appearance at Peking University. We have received a total of 863 applications from 277 universities across 17 countries. After a rigorous selection process, 84 students from 59 domestic and international universities were selected.
Eight scholars from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany were invited to teach in the summer workshop. They provided cutting-edge lectures and guided student teams in their research endeavors. The workshop follows a project-driven approach: after four weeks of online critical reading and a week of intensive in-person lecturing, 17 interdisciplinary research questions were proposed, which were addressed by 17 research teams, each composed of 3 to 5 students with diverse backgrounds spanning humanities and sciences.
During the second week of in-person collaboration, all student teams delved into their research projects at Peking University's Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center. Throughout this week, eight teachers accompanied the student teams, providing real-time responses to inquiries, aiding in the refinement of research topics, assisting in the formulation of research methodologies, and advising data analysis.
Up to now, 15 student teams have provided necessary information about their projects which are grouped into two categories:
