but methods and approaches in the field that fall into discussions around
inclusion, ethics, and diversity. As we chart new territories for what it
means to understand the field and its future, these topics are of
particular importance.*Sponsored by McGill Digital Humanities Initiatives & UdeM’s Centre de

Cette conférence fait partie de la série de conférences virtuelles,
Spectrums of DH. La mission de McGill avec Spectrums of DH est d’ouvrir les
définitions des humanités numériques pour inclure non seulement des études
informatiques sur des sujets de sciences humaines, mais aussi des méthodes
et des approches sur le terrain qui s’inscrivent dans des discussions sur
l’inclusion, l’éthique et la diversité. Alors que nous dessinons de
nouveaux territoires pour comprendre ce que signifie comprendre le domaine
et son avenir, ces sujets revêtent une importance particulière.Twitter (http://twitter.com/mcgilldigihum) | Facebook
