Course Description
- Instructors: Prof. Ph.D. Julianne Nyhan
- Event type: Lecture
- Digital Teaching:
The Ringvorlesung will present the methodological and theoretical state of the art in digital oral history. Likewise, we will invite speakers to present work on recent technological developments e.g. LLMs that may hold promise for digital oral history. In this way, the seminar series should appeal to data and discourse studies students, students of history along with those interested in (digital) oral historz, digital humanities and the history of information, memory and knowledge systems.
