Developing a data science module for humanities teaching

The American University of Paris is developing new programs in Data Science. Planning meetings helped us imagine how data science might be valuable for students across the curriculum. Our team’s project goal for Fall 2021 and beyond is to develop and implement a new research and teaching module, to be used in Humanities disciplines, starting with Comparative Literature, to give students and faculty practical experience in the work of of data science. We will present our plans, and open discussion about challenges for collaboration among staff, faculty, and students, in humanities, computer science, ITS and the library.
