Digital Humanities | Swantje Dogunke | TEDxUniHalle

Digital Humanities? For some time now, we have been encountering the term in university teaching, in funding programs, or in “classic” humanities publications. In my talk I would like to give a little insight into the subject area and look at the Digital Humanities from the perspective of a museologist, librarian and information scientist. It’s about typewriters, modelling knowledge systems, turtles, and YouTube. These are topics we find in the Digital Humanities, a new field of research or a new way of thinking in the humanities. Swantje Dogunke studied museology in Leipzig an Library and Information Science in Berlin. She has been working in the area of “Digital Humanities” since 2014 and is interested in building research infrastructure, data from the cultural sector and participatory design.Since 2021 she works as a subject librarian at the Thuringian University and State Library. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
