Summary:

Digital Humanities is rapidly evolving as a significant approach to/method of teaching, learning and research across the humanities. This is a first-stop book for people interested in getting to grips with digital humanities whether as a student or a professor. The book offers a practical guide to the area as well as offering reflection on the main objectives and processes, including: accessible introductions to the basics of DH through to more complex ideas; a wide range of topics from feminist DH, digital journal publishing, gaming, text encoding, project management and pedagogy; contextualized case studies; resources for starting DH such as links, training materials and exercises. Doing Digital Humanities looks at the practicalities of how digital research and creation can enhance both learning and research, and offers an approachable way into this complex, yet essential topic.
