A workshop which integrates Digital Humanities and Linguistics is still
in negotiation.
Each workshop consists of a total of 18 sessions or 36 week-hours. The
number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are
structured in such a way that participants can either take the two
blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops.
The "workload" of the active participation in the European Summer
University corresponds to 6 ETCS points.
Like in the former years the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
makes available generous support to up to 20 alumni / alumnae of German
universities. As soon as other scholarships are confirmed, we will send
out a separate announcement.
The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over
Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young
scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences,
Social Sciences, the Arts and Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal
partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in
a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions
for future project-based co-operations.
The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only seeks to
offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge,
skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a
central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more
and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well
as in publishing, libraries, and archives etc., but because it tries to
integrate also linguistics with the Digital Humanities, which pose
questions about the consequences and implications of the application of
computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds.
It is special furthermore because it consciously aims at confronting the
so-called Gender Divide, i.e. the under-representation of women in the
domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany,
Europe and many parts of the world, by relying on the challenges that
the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women
represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further
development of the latter, on the overcoming of the borders between the
so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities,
Computer Science and Engineering.
For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the
European Summer School in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology”
https://esu.fdhl.info/, which will be continually updated and integrated
with more information as soon as it becomes available. To get some
insight into what you can expect from the European Summer University
please consult its former website https://esu.culintec.de/ and especially
the year 2019.
