teaching
Teaching materials and other stuff. (More to be added soon...).
Apart from my regular university courses – which are not covered on this page yet – I enjoy teaching workshops and other extra-curricular courses at different summer schools, conferences, and so forth. These include, at the first place, the following annual (or biannual) events:
- Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) in Victoria BC, Canada.
- The European Summer University “Culture & Technology” (ESU) formerly in Leipzig, Germany, and these days in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
- GIAT-IQLA Summer School in Quantitative Analysis of Textual Data in Padova, Italy.
In the upcoming 3 years the ESU event will travel to Cluj-Napoca (Romania), and later to somewhere else; whereas the school Victoria seems to be back to its pre-pandemic shape, but my course underwent some reshaping. Therefore, the above list of events might differ a bit in the near future; nonetheless there will definitely be some opportunities around!
