Thaw Library - Miller Campus
Working Group
All day
This event is closed to the public.
This working group brings together a small group of scholars with expertise spanning the humanities, mathematics, and computer science. Digital representations of knowledge and artistic corpora have opened new avenues for thinking about traditional Humanities subjects such as literature, linguistics, classics, and history and to rigorously examine mathematical and computational metaphors used in humanistic endeavors, while also exploring how a priori mathematical ideas can find meaning and epistemological value in humanistic subjects now considered natively digital.
