3rd Conference on Digital Data and Human Sciences (DRDHum) 2024

Today, there are many ways in which the human and social sciences use digital tools to investigate different aspects of human life and society. As the significance and use of digital resources continually expands into new fields of study, there are some disciplines which have already been working with digital methods for decades. This conference aims to present an overview of the current state of research in fields such as archival studies, cultural studies, history, linguistics, literature, performing and visual arts, philosophy where novel approaches are being made available through digital tools. The 2024 conference focusses on novel and innovative approaches to make use of digital applications, in particular in the light of the advent of machine learning and A.I. solutions.

The Digital Research Data and Human Sciences (DRDHum 2024) conference aims to bring together researchers who have different areas of interest and expertise to discuss the themes of data compilation and management, and to share their knowledge and experience. We encourage contributions from researchers and research groups who have implemented interdisciplinary research to participate in the event.

Plenary speakers are:    

• Professor Katherine Bode, Australian National University
• Professor Anna Foka, Uppsala University, Sweden
• Professor Michaela Mahlberg, University of Birmingham, UK
• Professor Tony McEnery, University of Lancaster, UK
