This session introduces attendees to the basics of digital health humanities methods by modelling computational research approaches without using computers. In this hands-on session, participants will learn about important digital methods like GIS mapping, network analysis, and text analysis by engaging with prepared archival data. Rather than a class on using digital tools like ArcGIS or Gephi, this workshop teaches how a digital humanist approaches their research objects, and how their research questions are based on humanist tradition.

Participants will learn:

• The basics of a number of digital methods.
• How research questions can emerge from primary materials.
• How digital methods inform humanistic research questions, and how these questions critique those digital tools.
