This workshop format will consist of two interactive sessions. Digital Humanities scholars from the School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies (SHPRS) will begin with a general introduction to the technology and the ways historians have used it, including some of SHPRS’ own graduate students.
This session will conclude with a discussion and Q&A, and we welcome input from participants who would like to discuss geospatial problems and possibilities with their own historical research or teaching. The second session involves a hands-on tutorial using historical data in a GIS. Participants in the second session are encouraged to familiarize themselves with The Geospatial Historian online tutorial before attending, particularly the ArcGIS lessons found at https://geospatialhistorian.wordpress.com/lessons/.
This event is organized by the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies’ Dr. Joshua MacFadyen and Daniel Milowski.
