Abstract

Cambridge Digital Humanities (CDH) runs a variety of learning opportunities that introduce RSE practices to students, researchers and staff in the arts, humanities, archives, libraries and museums. The CDH Learning programme offers a “Best Practices in Coding for Digital Humanities” series and runs a RSE Methods Fellows programme for RSEs (of any discipline) to teach workshops and prepare online tutorials. CDH also hosts a Digital Humanities (DH) RSE Summer School (together with several partner institutions) with the aim of introducing those who code in research to beginner and intermediate RSE practices. This is an exciting time for RSE in DH and these recent initiatives are still in the process of active development. In this talk I will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of making RSE relevant to the various types of research under the ‘DH umbrella’, how best to engage DH scholars and RSEs from other disciplines in this joint endeavour, and where this might take us next.

Hybrid Zoom details will be emailed to the RSE mailing list; if you are not on the list, please contact the organisers.
