Learning outcomes
The so-called "digital humanities" offer immense possibilities for historical research, and at the same time invite traditional historians to rethink the practices of their own discipline.
The first part of the course will provide a theoretical framework regarding the relationship between history and digital, and it will analyze the new possibilities and new research models determined by the combination of humanistic culture and technology.
The course aims then to illustrate some useful tools for the historian to organize and share information, find sources and information, build analytical bibliographies, communicate the research outputs online (through apps, research blogs, open web, social media, social networks and academic websites).
In the second part of the course will be presented some concrete examples of international research projects of digital history, particularly concerning: digitization of sources and digital archives, network analysis, textual analysis of political discourse, GIS technology (Geographic Information System), use of augmented reality and 3D reconstruction of historical and cultural sites.
At the end of the course students will be able to understand the possibilities of the web to make and communicate historical research, but also to develop a critical awareness of the limits and risks related to the rhetoric of a technological revolution in the humanities.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
