About:
The NYU Abu Dhabi Winter Institute in Digital Humanities (WIDH) is an event aimed at researchers and educators interested in the intersection of technology and the arts and humanities. The event features hands-on courses, a plenary discussion, a poster session as well as networking opportunities in the culturally vibrant capital of the UAE.
The WIDH focuses on both research and pedagogy from an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. The topics addressed in the courses vary from year to year. Recent offerings have focused on computational analysis of cultural heritage, artificial intelligence and the classroom, spatial analysis of societies, Arabic text analysis and the data of culture. The courses share a common vision of how the digital has changed, and continues to change, the way that we learn, teach, do research and disseminate knowledge. Certain courses also address new responsibilities and horizons for the arts and humanities in an age of automation.
Attendees will enroll in only one course for the duration of the Winter Institute. Most of the courses require no prior technical skills. Attendance in the Winter Institute is by application/registration only. Places are very limited.
Organizers:
David Joseph Wrisley (NYU Abu Dhabi, Arts and Humanities Division)

The Winter Institute in Digital Humanities is made possible by the generous support of the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute with the participation of the NYU Abu Dhabi Library, the Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World, the NYU Abu Dhabi Arts and Humanities Division.
