Dear digital humanists,

The Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) is pleased
to announce the "Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities
2024", from 8 to 12 July.

# Purpose of the School
The Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities provides
advanced and in-depth training in theories, technologies and methods
applied to historical monuments, artefacts and texts. Focussing on
cultural, archaeological, historical, literary, and artistic materials
from Venetian sites and cultural heritage institutions, participants
will engage in debates about digital cultural heritage and public
humanities while enhancing their competences and skills in digitising
materials and sources and in modelling, analysing and visualising
multimedia humanities data.

# Contents and schedule
The Summer School takes place at historical sites and cultural venues
across the city of Venice and its surroundings. Each day is dedicated to
a specific academic field: archaeology, history, art history and textual
scholarship. Teaching formats include lectures, hands-on workshops,
guided tours and experimental performances. Units are planned and
delivered by local experts and invited specialists. All classes will be
taught in English. The programme includes “Meet the Expert” sessions for
discussing the participants’ individual research projects with domain
experts.

# Eligibility and admission criteria
The Summer  School warmly welcomes PhD students, postdocs and
practitioners from the private, public, and non-governmental sectors.
Applicants must hold at least a Master’s degree or equivalent at the
time of application. Precedence will be given to those candidates whose
cover letter will show that their research projects or profession will
benefit from the Digital and Public Humanities methods that they will
learn during the summer school. A fair balance among genders and among
disciplinary backgrounds will be preserved.

# Availability of positions
The  School  will  host  max. 25 participants.

Our Corpus Linguistics Summer School aims to equip participants with
critical expertise in both the theory and practice of corpus-supported
linguistic research. Over the course of four days, participants will be
actively involved in two kinds of sessions. First, hands-on sessions will
put the emphasis on the learning of practical skills for the purpose of
extracting and analysing corpus data of various kinds, and the application
of this knowledge to specific research projects. Second, participants will
learn about current corpus research from our team.

Topics of sessions will include (this is a non-exhaustive list and subject
to change):

-       Analysing healthcare data using corpus linguistics
-       Analysing learner language
-       Behavioral Profile
-       Corpora and legal research
-       CQPweb
-       Fake news
-       Introduction to R
-       Phraseology
-       Sign language corpora
-       Statistics and readability
-       Tagging and parsing with spaCy
