Die Konferenzreihe zu Digital Humanities und Digital History des Deutschen Historischen Instituts in Washington zielt neben der inhaltlichen Diskussion und thematischen Forschungsarbeit auch auf einen transatlantischen Austausch der Forschenden in diesem Feld. Daher sei hier insbesondere die deutschsprachige Community aufgefordert, in eine gemeinsame Diskussion mit den Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus dem nordamerikanischen Raum und den internationalen Gästen einzusteigen. Es besteht die Möglichkeit für Reisestipendien, weitere Informationen im Call for Papers:

Third Annual GHI Conference on Digital Humanities and Digital History
International Conference and Workshop at the German Historical Institute Washington
In collaboration with Stanford University

Conveners: Matthew Hiebert (GHI), Simone Lässig (GHI), Katherine McDonough (Stanford)

This event seeks to assess through international dialogue the state-of-the-art in social network analysis (SNA) for creating genuinely historical knowledge, both in respect to tools and their applications, but also with regard to methodological and epistemological implications. Established since the 1970s in the social sciences, network analysis conceptualizes individuals as embedded within webs of social structures through which influence and other resources are transferred disparately. The method is increasingly being adopted and transformed by scholars studying global and transregional history to reveal illuminating patterns and to make new arguments.

This event is intended as an opportunity to discuss advantages, challenges and limits of adapting and applying SNA tools to historical research.
