This session will introduce attendees to the basics of digital health humanities methods by modelling computational approaches to research without the use of 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 throwing these students into a class on how to use a digital tool like ArcGIS or Gephi, this workshop will first teach how digital humanists approach their research objects, and how their questions are based out of a 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.
