The aim of the lecture series is to present various topics and research projects and thus provide an overview of current positions in the Digital Humanities. In the summer semester, we have invited interesting guests from research institutions in Germany and abroad to discuss these topics.
The lectures will take place at 18:15 at the Institute for Digital Humanities and online and will last about 50 minutes. Afterwards, there will be time for questions and lively discussions.
