Links have already begun to emerge among our symposium events. In their talk at the Interdisciplinary Science event, Brian Tjaden and Mala Radhakrishnan discussed “Computational Science as a Catalyst for Interdisciplinary Problem Solving.” In their Charge to the College (0:22:24), they encourage us to consider “computational awareness” (an awareness of how computers can enable problem solving) and “computational competence” (putting those ideas into practice) as necessary skills for our community.
How does computer-assisted problem solving relate to the Humanities?
Consider some of the projects happening at Wellesley.
“Broadly construed, digital humanities is the use of digital media and technology to advance the full range of thought and practice in the humanities, from the creation of scholarly resources, to research on those resources, to the communication of results to colleagues and students.” Dan Cohen, George Mason University
Join the discussion at our next symposium event, Digital Scholarship and Learning in the Humanities, next Tuesday, March 6th, at 4PM in the Clapp Library Lecture Room.
