School of Culture, History & Language and Australian Centre on China in the World, The Australian National University

Friday 6 December – Sunday 8 December 2019
Seminar Room, China in the World Building (188), Fellows Lane, ANU
REGISTRATION REQUIRED

The first of its kind in Australia to examine the scope of state-of-the-art computerized textual analysis of traditional Chinese texts, this workshop will bring together distinguished international experts in the combined fields of Chinese studies and Digital Humanities (DH).

These experts will introduce scholars and students at ANU and beyond to their particular areas of expertise in digital text analysis. This general overview of their work will be followed by sessions devoted to the more specific question of how to digitally analyse multi-layered Chinese texts, such as texts with commentaries.

On its final day, the workshop aims to provide a forum for students and early career researchers to present their own DH projects in the form of poster sessions and discuss them with the experts. The best five presenters will receive small grants in support of their participation.
