DH 210 - Introduction to Public History and Digital Humanities

This is a foundational course in Public History and Digital Humanities. This class introduces these two related scholarly and professional fields from an interdisciplinary perspective. We will use an interdisciplinary perspective to look at the development of both public history and digital humanities individually and then explore how the connections between the two - shared tools, outlooks, and goals - can support understanding and participation in a wide range of current issues in American society, from information and media literacy to civic engagement.
