About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sarah Peterson, an expert in digital humanities and the lead instructor for the Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities and Problem Solving for Researchers. Sarah, could you tell us a bit about your experience in this field? GUEST: Sure, I've been working at the intersection of humanities and technology for over 15 years, helping researchers use digital tools to enhance their work. HOST: Fascinating! And what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: I noticed a growing need for digital literacy among humanities scholars. There are so many powerful digital tools out there that can help researchers, but many don't know where to start. HOST: That's true, and it's not just academia that needs these skills, right? GUEST: Absolutely, cultural institutions and tech companies also value employees who can apply digital methods to humanities research. HOST: Interesting. Now, every innovative course has its challenges. What have you encountered while teaching this subject? GUEST: The rapid pace of technological change can be challenging. We constantly update our curriculum to include the latest tools and trends. HOST: How do you see the field of digital humanities evolving in the future? GUEST: I believe we'll see even more integration of digital tools into traditional humanities research. The potential for innovation is enormous. HOST: That sounds exciting! Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your insights with us today. It's been a pleasure discussing the Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities and Problem Solving for Researchers. GUEST: My pleasure, thank you for having me.
