This seminar will examine the changing dynamic of everyday religious practice with a focus on  later medieval England through the material culture and architecture of the parish church. We will explore ordinary people’s experience of religion in the pre-Reformation period. Classes will be discussion based and each student will undertake a major research project on a topic developed in consultation with the instructor.

How can scholars use computational and digital methods to advance their research without sacrificing the interpretive, nuanced, and contextually situated stance of the humanities and humanistic social sciences?  The DH Practicum course challenges students to think of their humanities research materials as data without reducing them to data.

Disability media studies is an interdisciplinary field focused on the critical study of disability as related to media texts, technologies, industries, and audiences. Drawing on disability theory, screen studies, STS, and related literatures, this tutorial engages with key concerns and concepts within current disability media studies.

This independent study course is a collaboration between the DH Certificate Program and the Research and Learning Services Department of the Library.  The Clippings Project, headed by Mandy Ritzki, Reference Librarian, is a collection of thematically organized periodical clippings collected by UVA librarians over recent decades.   Students who take this independent study will develop a syllabus in collaboration with Mandy and DH Certificate Director Rennie Mapp, and will work with a faculty instructor who will provide oversight.
