Summary:
This Fall (Sept. 30-Oct. 1) the University of Miami is hosting the first Digital Humanities+Data Journalism Symposium
The symposium was inspired by this article by Dan Cohen, from the Digital Public Library of America. Here's how we envision it:
Digital humanists and data journalists face common challenges, opportunities, and goals, such as how to communicate effectively with the public. They use similar software tools, programming languages, and techniques, and they can learn from each other. Join us for lectures and tutorials about shared data types, visualization methods, and data communication — including text visualization, network diagrams, maps, databases and data wrangling. In addition to the scheduled content, there will be opportunities for casual conversation and networking. The DH+DJ Symposium will take place in the Newman Alumni Center at the University of Miami (Coral Gables Campus).
