Stefan Huebner invites you to the digital humanities workshop titled “Progress and Innovative Practices in the Digital Humanities in Singapore and Abroad” that he is hosting at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, on November 24-25, 2022. The event takes place on Zoom.
Applicable across a wide variety of topics reaching from natural history to medical anthropology, religious practices, and many others, Singapore’s digital humanities landscape is dynamic and ever-changing, with new methods being employed and new fields of application emerging. For example, the digitization of historical materials and collections has fostered the collaboration of researchers across multiple disciplines, encouraging exchange, analysis, visualizations and simulations of new ideas and research. The interdisciplinary focus of this workshop also encourages connections between disciplines that do not typically interact with each other. Therefore, the workshop aims to explore and answer the following questions: Why are the digital humanities necessary and relevant? How can the digital humanities create opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration within Singapore as well as between Singaporean and foreign institutions? What innovations and best practices can be learned from today’s digital humanities landscape in Singapore and abroad? Building on our previous event titled “On Asia: Digitizing and Visualizing Historical Sources”, the workshop aims to further contribute to research and collaborations in the digital humanities landscape locally, strengthen Singapore’s position as a digital humanities hub, and gain inspirations from successfully implemented projects abroad.
