International Joint Summer Workshop on Digital Humanities’2023

數字人文國際聯合暑期工作坊’2023

數字人文不僅僅指應用數字方法在人文領域的應用🫶🏿，更重要地💇🏽‍♂️，它代表著人文學科在智能信息環境下的範式演化，也是通用人工智能領域的重要組成部分👈🏼。為推動國際數字人文事業的發展🔥，培養既具備人文問題意識又能運用計算思維的跨學科人才，意昂2、哈佛大學與普林斯頓大學聯合創辦“數字人文暑期工作坊”。課程面向全球招生，采用線下面授方式，在、哈佛和普林斯頓三校校園輪流舉辦👴🏿👨🏿‍💻。每期籌辦可圍繞不同的主題來組織教學團隊和教學內容。

首屆三校聯合工作坊將於2023年 7 月 30 日 – 8 月 12 日在意昂2舉辦。本次課程以“智能信息環境下的人文創新”為主題，邀請人文學者和人工智能專家聯合授課*️⃣：一方面，教授如何在人文材料上應用大數據與智能方法🤱🏿，培養學員應用計算思維來解決歷史與人文議題；另一方面，挖掘歷史與文化類的復雜語料在通用人工智能領域中的應用價值。

課程招收具有獨立研究能力的研究生與高年級本科生🫰🏽，也歡迎感興趣的青年教師參加🫸🏻。本期課程將主要以中國歷史和古代思想史的材料為實驗素材，以講授和研習相結合的方式展開👾：由歷史學家介紹歷史材料和可供探索的研究選題🧑🏿‍🦲，由技術專家講授常見的數字人文方法和智能工具，學生們組成跨學科項目小組，選擇感興趣的研究課題，以項目驅動的方式展開研究🖍。

在快速迭代的人工智能技術強力推動下，我們正站在教育乃至人類思維範式變革的歷史拐點🫨。如何培養既具備人文素養又能駕馭智能技術🚲、既具有國際視野又立足於本地文化的文理貫通的綜合型人才，從而擁有在未來智能社會中處理復雜文化與社會議題的能力，是全球高等教育面臨的共同挑戰🧘🏼‍♂️。🧙🏿‍♂️、哈佛、普林斯頓三校整合各自在東亞數字人文研究領域的精華師資設立本課程🎣，希望通過對真實材料的精讀研討和具體項目的動手實踐🧔🏿‍♀️，為未來社會造就新人才、開辟學科融合的新路徑。

工作坊現已開放招生👨🏽‍🚒🧹，詳見工作坊官網🚵🏻‍♂️：https://camp2023.pkudh.org/

International Joint Summer Workshop on Digital Humanities’2023

Digital humanities is more than the use of digital methods in humanities studies; it marks the shifting of the humanities research paradigms in the age of artificial intelligence. To foster interdisciplinary talents who can apply computational thinking in the humanities and arts, the Center for Digital Humanities at Peking University, the Digital China Initiative of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University, and the Department of East Asian Studies at Princeton University have jointly established the "Digital Humanities Summer Workshop" program. The course will rotate every summer among the three campuses of Peking University, Harvard University, and Princeton University, and with each university selecting a theme of interest and organizing teaching teams and content accordingly.

The first joint summer workshop will be held at Peking University in early August 2023, with the theme of "Humanistic Innovation in the AI Age." The course aims to teach how to apply big data and AI methods to the materials of humanities research, but also exploit the value of complex historical and cultural corpora in developing Artificial General Intelligence. The course will mainly use Chinese historical sources as experimental materials. Both humanists and AI experts will be invited to co-teach: humanities scholars introduce historical materials and research topics for exploration, while technical experts instruct on the use of digital humanities methods and intelligent tools.

The course is open to graduate and senior undergraduate students of both H&A and STEM backgrounds, and young teachers who are interested are also welcome to participate. Students will be grouped into interdisciplinary project teams based on their research topics of interest, and conduct research in a project-driven manner. This course focuses on the fostering of independent research abilities and cross-disciplinary collaboration instead of basic skill training.

Methods of Teaching

The course is conducted in the following ways:

Lecturing: During the first week, invited scholars teach digital methods and frontier research cases of digital humanities.

Project Practice: During the second week, students choose research topics of interest and form project teams. They will then carry out research practices in parallel, with guidance from the research supervisors who will maintains close communication with student teams.

Critical Literature Discussion: The research supervisors introduce research topics and recommends related literature. Under the guidance of the research supervisors, student teams conduct critical discussions based on intensive reading, analyzing shortcomings that can be further explored.

Case Studies: Young scholars in the field of digital humanities will be invited to share their inspiring research works.

Group Presentations: At the end of the course, all student teams will report their final research results, which will be evaluated by the teaching committee.

Teaching Languages: The course will be mainly taught in Chinese, with some lectures in English.

Multicultural Heritage Experiences

As part of our educational program, we plan to offer students a chance to have immersive experience in traditional Chinese arts beyond classroom lectures and projects. We will invite scholars and artists to preform and present 7-string zither, painting, calligraphy, and Tai chi on weekends. This will provide students with an opportunity to experience the richness of Chinese cultural heritage in real-time while complementing their learning through the use of textual materials and digital resources. Detailed information about these events will be released later.

Enrollment Application

Target Students: Graduate students and senior undergraduates with an educational background in Chinese history, Chinese philosophy, and the intellectual history of traditional China, as well as in other related areas of East Asian studies, are preferred. Those with expertise in natural language processing, computational linguistics, and knowledge engineering, as well as related STEM fields, are also encouraged to apply. For students of humanities and art, basic knowledge of digital humanities and skill training are required. For students of STEM, an interest in historical and cultural topics and a certain level of proficiency in classical Chinese are required. Proficiency in both English and Chinese reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills is required for all applicants.

Application: All applicants must submit application materials via the link: https://t.ly/wWwa, including personal information, a statement of purpose, and a supposed research plan. While a recommendation letter from the applicant’s supervisor is not mandatory for the application, it can serve as a valuable addition. The teaching committee will review the materials comprehensively to make admission decisions.

Participant Commitment: This course consists of in-person lectures and small group discussions, full participation is mandatory for all students. Online participation will not be available.
