Aims

  • Explore the applicability and usefulness of CLARIN infrastructure /tools for non-digital humanities disciplines/approaches

​

  • Elucidate why linguistic tools (e.g. CLARIN) are not typically used by oral history scholars

​

  • Back to basics -start to demystify some of the jargon used in linguistic-oriented methods and tools; and explore how these can be utilised by scholars using interview data

​

  • Hear from you what you think/feel about them

An open mind...expanding one’s toolbox

  • We believe that open-source tools can offer benefits to preparing ‘data’ and to interpreting them

​

  • We will consider reading - listening - viewing

​

  • We will consider features of audiovisual and textual data that you may not have previously considered

​

  • We have assembled experts across fields who will introduce concepts and guide the hands-on sessions
