Enrollment is now closed.

The digital humanities and data science are playing an ever-increasing role in how scholars study Chinese literature, history, and culture. New language models are being deployed in a variety of settings, including on platforms that enable extensive geographic, prosopographical, and chronological annotation. Language models also offer fascinating approaches to textual analytics, opening new avenues to study style, sentiment, textual authenticity, semantic content, and more. Organizing and curating data, as well as understanding how data structures impact research, are critical parts of conducting digital research, as is understanding the network and spatial turns in the humanities.
