The Department of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences at NIT Calicut, in collaboration with the Centre for Information Technology Research & Automation (CITRA), is organizing a hybrid workshop on Digital Humanities in Practice: Tools, Methods, Applications.  The workshop is funded by the Anusandhan Research Foundation and will be held in hybrid mode with three days of intense hands-on sessions on various DH tools from 27-29 November at NIT Calicut. Online sessions and expert talks will be conducted prior to the workshop.

The workshop aims to address the growing need for Digital Humanities (DH) in India, especially for preserving and analyzing the country’s linguistic and cultural heritage. By integrating digital tools like AI, data visualization, and text analytics with humanities research, the workshop seeks to enhance scholarship, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The programme includes:

• Online Expert Sessions on the DH landscape in India, DH projects and introduction to various DH Tools.
• Hands-on sessions (Offline mode only) on data collection (web scraping, digitization, building textual/multimedia corpora) and the use of open-source tools.

• Opportunities for participants to present their projects and receive expert feedback.

• Focus on ethical and social implications of DH research, with an emphasis on inclusivity, recovery of marginalized histories, and democratization of cultural knowledge.
