What to teach Digital Humanities students about Phaidra - Thomas Wallnig

Abstract

Knowledge about institutional repositories is increasingly becoming a mandatory feature of Digital Humanities teaching: not only do students (and thus future researchers) need to understand the workflows behind the sustainable storage of their research data; they also need to be aware of where their institutional repository stands within the broader ecosystem of tools and infrastructures. Against that background, the presentation will argue for including data management knowledge into regular Digital Humanities teaching, and provide some examples of how to put this into practice. 

About Thomas Wallnig

In the academic year 2020/1 he also acted as a visiting professor at the universities of Padua and Klagenfurt. His background is that of an intellectual historian of early modern Catholic Europe (Critical Monks – The German Benedictines, 1680–1740 | Brill). During the past years, especially in his role as co-chair of COST Action IS1310, he has developed a broader interest in tools and methods of computer-based analysis, especially with regard to early modern letters: https://univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-86395-403-1
