Teaching and Writing Digital Methods

Description

Join the 2025-6 cohort of CDH Methods Fellows for an in-person masterclass on transforming research methods in Digital Humanities into effective and engaging lessons with Anisa Hawes from Programming Historian. Using a lesson framework being developed as part of the online journal’s author guidelines, participants will be encouraged to think through approaches for writing about their own research practice to create methodological lessons suitable for either self-study or classroom teaching. We will cover tips and tactics for writing accessible and sustainable learning materials and explore how to get the most out of peer review and feedback from your community of practice.

Speakers

Huw Jones (Cambridge Digital Humanities) and Anisa Hawes (Digital Humanities Publishing Manager at the Programming Historian), including a roundtable discussion with Dr Estara Arrant (Cambridge University Library) and Jonathan Blaney (CDH Research Software Engineer) on peer review and teaching coding.
