In 2021 we will once again be holding the Digital Humanities at Oxford event online, giving participants the opportunity to engage with Digital Humanities experts on a stimulating range of topics.

The Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School online event offers training to anyone with an interest in the Digital Humanities, including academics at all career stages, students, project managers, and people who work in IT, libraries, and cultural heritage. The DHOx2021 online event is run by the Humanities division and Oxford e-Research Centre.

The event will take place on Zoom from 12-15 July, with morning lectures and optional afternoon interactive sessions over the first three days. On Thursday 15 July we have a special programme of 10th Anniversary keynotes from experts in Digital Humanities participants will be able to attend the morning talks, as an afternoon session in a smaller group. Registration will start at the beginning of May.

Each morning there will be a general Introduction to Digital Humanities talk from DHOxSS Directors Professor of e-Research David De Roure and Dr Megan Gooch, Head of the Centre for Digital Scholarship, University of Oxford, followed by lectures from the expert convenors of our Summer School strands:

Afternoon sessions will offer interactive workshop style teaching to smaller groups, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions of the convenors and meet other participants, and giving the opportunity for participants to get involved in hands-on tasks and learn how to apply DH principles to their own research or projects.
