On 4 February 10:00-13:00, Dr Michael Falk, Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of Kent, will be running a workshop entitled Hacking for Humanists (postponed from last December). In this  workshop, you will learn the basics of coding in Python. You will learn how to get your hands on Humanities data, process it, and produce provocative and useable results for your research.

Dr Falk is a digital humanist and scholar of eighteenth-century literature on a global scale. He researches how core concepts such as ‘modernity’, ‘Enlightenment’ or the ‘self’ evolved across the world. He is currently at work on his monograph, Frankenstein’s Siblings: The Contingent Selves of Romantic Literature, and is an investigator on the SPARC-funded project DH in the Indian Rim.

In addition, Michael will be presenting his research in our first seminar of semester 2, entitled: Fugitive Words: Deep Learning and the Deep Past in Australia.This seminar, as all others this semester, will take place at 16:00 in the Digital Humanities Lab, NLG1, in the Samuel Alexander Building.  All welcome.

Full details of the forthcoming programme will be available shortly.
