Dr Patricia Murrieta-Flores Co-director of the Digital Humanities Hub at Lancaster University delivered a workshop on ‘Geographic Information Systems for Humanities Research’ in collaboration with Dr Daniel Alves at the Instituto de Historia Contemporanea at the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Humanities at NOVA. The event took place on the 24 and 25th of January. Over the two-day intensive workshop the 17 participants learnt theories related to Archaeology, History and Literature within the field of Spatial Humanities, and had the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the software and methods. Patricia and Daniel also presented advanced case studies to the audience.
The Digital Humanities Hub at Lancaster is a world renowned centre for the Spatial Humanities and the application of computational approaches to Humanities Research.
This workshop continued the ongoing exchange of ideas between Lancaster University and Universidade NOVA de Lisboa as the relationship between the two institutions continues to develop and strengthen.
