These workshops begin in lecture, and students complete online modules at home (these modules are being prepped in Summer 2020 with support from the Simpson Center Digital Humanities Summer Fellowship). The aim of these workshops and the final project is to teach students to transfer their skills as historians \u2013 critically evaluating different kinds of information and sources \u2013 to the realm of digital work and data science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a mini-version of the syllabus.

Your initial proposal will try out a very short and basic version of a digital project in one of these two areas: (a) a data science project (data visualization or analysis) or b) a public-facing digital project. The project must explain some aspect of the history of the world wars to the public and must draw on at least one primary source and one secondary source from the course to put their research in context.
