In this new episode ofEchoes from around the world, we take a look at the rapidly changing world of digital humanities. What does it really mean to combine history, literature or social sciences with digital tools? How are researchers using these methods to explore, analyze and understand cultural and historical data? What do these approaches teach us about our world and the way we produce and share knowledge today?
