| Course Section Number: | HIS-200-01 |
| Department: | History |
| Description: | How has digital technology affected our understanding of the past? In this course, we will examine the ways in which the Internet has dramatically changed the creation and consumption of historical knowledge. With a focus on the history of immigration, this course will interrogate search engines, explore digital archives, and look under the hoods of mapping, textual analysis, network visualization, and crowdsourcing projects. Throughout, students will consider the methodological implications of doing immigration history online, including the ethical challenges of sharing immigrant stories and reducing human lives to data. The course will follow digital history's call to collaboratively play - and sometimes fail - with technology, concluding the semester with an online group research project related to the history of immigration.
