The Otago University Digital Humanities Initiative and OU Library are pleased to announce the DH Bytes seminar series, which follow on from last year’s Open Hours Discussions in the Digital Humanities Hub | Te Pōkapu Matihiko o Te Kete Aronui.
DH Bytes are a series of three, themed, interdisciplinary seminars in semester one 2020, that will happen monthly on Thursdays at 1pm in the Central Library. They will focus on collaboration, conversation, and connection across disciplines, programmes, departments, and projects both critical and generative.
Showcasing generative thinking and work-in-progress in the digital realm, and deepening the work of cross-pollinating thinking and practice between and across disciplines.
Timetable
The seminars will begin on Thursday 26 March at 1pm, and then every four weeks for the rest of the semester.
