Graduate Workshop in Arabic Digital Humanities
This workshop introduces advanced students, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers in Middle Eastern Studies and related fields to some of the opportunities, challenges and recent developments in the growing field of Arabic Digital Humanities. The workshop is divided in three parts: (1) an introduction to several major online digital repositories of both Sunni and Shi’i literary traditions; (2) a presentation (with discussion) by two engineers of the Netherland eScience Center about best practices in creating, licensing and sharing data sets, with added information about opportunities for further training and skill development; (3) an interactive session in which participants will be acquainted with a newly developed online textmining tool in Islamic law and da’wa literature, developed at Utrecht University in the framework of the Netherlands eScience Center/UU project “Bridging the Gap: Digital Humanities and the Arabic-Islamic Corpus” (https://sensis.sites.uu.nl/digital-humanities/).
