Walsh, John A., Peter J. Cobb, Wayne de Fremery, Koraljka Golub, Humphrey Keah, Jeonghyun Kim, Joseph Kiplang’at, et al. 2021. “Digital Humanities in the ISchool.”
Walsh et al. investigate DH education and research as practiced in information school (iSchool) contexts worldwide. They analyze university websites to identify which types of DH degrees are offered, the course descriptions of 426 DH courses, and the presence and content of DH courses within iSchools. The authors found that master’s degrees are the most common model of DH education, especially in Europe. Their course analysis findings suggest that there are two main clusters of topics in DH courses in general: one related to digital topics (such as software programming, statistical data analysis, and web applications), and another cluster related to humanities topics (such as critical digital media, digital art, and cultural heritage). On the other hand, iSchools themselves offer 34 DH courses in 26 institutions, usually a single DH course or an introductory course followed by an advanced one. Since iSchools are so diverse, the authors believe that it is difficult to suggest a common curriculum for DH programs in iSchools. However, the disciplinary and methodological diversity of DH allows iSchools to offer a credible DH program even if it differs from programs in other institutions.
