Digital History Seminar
Virtually all aspects of the historian’s work have been transformed by digital technology. The digital history seminar is a venue for exploring the consequences of this transformation and discussing how to leverage digital technology in historical research.
The Digital history seminar is hosted by the Department of History at Stockholm University in collaboration with Lund University and Linnaeus University. The seminar gathers researchers and student with an interest in the digitization of the history discipline – in the past and the present as well as in the future. The Digital history seminar series also provides a space for discussions of digital methods in historical research, regardless of theme and time period.
For the spring semester 2024, the digital history seminar convenes on Zoom on select days, mainly Tuesdays. See date, time and information for registration for each seminar through the links below.
