Mānoa Campus, Henke 200

"Letter by Letter:脗聽 Slow Scholarship in a Digital World." A lecture and discussion by Karen Jolly (Professor of History, 91精品黑料吃瓜 Manoa).

Jolly writes: 芒鈧揊or all of our powerful computer tools sifting and sorting data for us, contemporary scholarship still need humans engaging in deep thought to ponder what it all means. Even before we start searching a database, we need to make sure we ask the right questions, or the answers we get may be seriously misleading, a fact we might miss in all the excitement of seeing reams of quantified results colorfully illustrated in our pie charts and spread sheets. This presentation explores the dynamic of combining slow methods of scholarship with emerging technological tools, focusing on the digitization of medieval manuscripts, as well as exploring imagined landscapes that come from deep reading.芒鈧
