- Abstract:
- This presentation explains my undergrad/grad seminar "East Asian DH" (EALC111/511) at University of Pennsylvania in Spring 2018. I focus on the survey format of the seminar, as dictated by the challenge of trying to reach students working on many aspects of the un-discipline of East Asian studies, which encompasses a large region, at least three languages, humanities and social science fields, and all time periods. Students came largely from the History department but also from EALC and Political Science. The course was conducted as a more traditional seminar format (no programming or lab involved), and the main written assignment for the graduate students was a project pitch that each student envisioned for their future directions (in which they had to identify exactly what was needed to implement the project, on top of making a case for it). At the end of the course I hoped to inspire students to pursue their own interests in DH, and was gratified when a student told me "I see DH everywhere now!"
