Satisfies Book Course Requirement for MedRen Program
Friday, 10-12, Chang Room (RBML)
This seminar will provide an introduction to the study of medieval Latin liturgical chant manuscripts with an emphasis on digital humanities. Focusing on manuscripts in Columbia collections, students will learn discipline-specific research methods in medieval chant studies, including material description, analysis of textual contents, contributing to databases, and creating new resources. With support from Digital Publishing Librarian Michelle Wilson, we will engage in three DH activities (two as a group and the third in small groups or independently). Along the way students will be asked to reflect on their experiences working with different tools and technologies and to assess the impact of digital space, varying forms of scholarly communications, and audience on their research methodologies and scholarship.
