What does it mean to practice history in the digital age? How are digital technologies shaping the way we conceptualise the past, design and conduct historical research, and communicate our findings? What does digital history offer in terms of innovative and substantive new ways of understanding the past, andhow has it changed the way society ‘consumes’ the past?
Exploring these questions and more, this course introduces students to the theory and practice of researching, writing, and presenting history in a digital world. The course is built around three main threads. The first of these-- the pedagogy of digital history-- explores how digital technologies have impacted the production, consumption, and preservation of 'the past' in modern society, and the wider theoretical and methodological issues facing historical study in a digital age. A second thread-- researching in a digital environment-- focuses on the development of skills and abilities in using digital tools and the Internet in historical research, while the third thread--producing history in a digital world-- will give students the opportunity to apply digital methods to their own research, and experience in writing and producing history for the web through the design and execution of a small web-based project.
