Increasingly, we access, share, and create information in digital forms, and this has been referred to as a digital revolution. But how does — or how should — this revolution in the way we teach, learn, and conduct research also change the way we do scholarly work in the classroom? The digital humanities investigates how new media and digital tools are changing the way we produce knowledge in the humanities, by enabling us to share not only information, but sound, visualizations, and even performances using new platforms. This class will provide an introduction to some of...

Does this technology enable us to ask new questions that would not be possible?  ...

In addition to differences in form and genre, Spanish-language volumes offer very different interpretations of the K’iche’ source text. The opening line...
