Held in connection with the Digital History Summit, this two-day PhD course (1ETCS) brings doctoral students into direct conversation with ongoing debates in digital history.

Through shared readings, project presentations, and active participation in the Digital History Summit discussions, students will critically reflect on methods, expertise, and the future of digital historical research.

This course explores what it means to practice digital history and helps PhD students situate their own research within this expanding field. Students will reflect on how they can combine traditional historical domain expertise with digital methods in meaningful and responsible ways. We will discuss practices from a wide range of different parts within the field of digital history, including but not limited to, the matching of tool for digital analysis in combination with a specific research question and/or methodological reflections on how different approaches to digitisation of archives impact the participants own research.
