Doing Digital Humanities is a monthly series of presentations and workshops focusing on basic skills needed for working in the digital humanities: wrangling data, managing projects, and learning on-the-fly. Lightning-talk panel presentations, followed by audience and panel discussion, showcase people, projects, and expertise in the Research Triangle and offer insights into the practical side of being a digital humanist. Workshops provide hands-on introduction to tools used by digital humanists.

Digital projects frequently breed challenges that require new skills and knowledge and a willingness to take risks and make mistakes, as part of the process of learning and moving forward. Whether part of cross-disciplinary and collaborative work, or the application of a new digital tool or method to an established research area, learning on-the-fly is an unavoidable and valuable trait of digital humanities work. Panelists will present critical learning moments in their own work, and discuss strategies for cultivating this skill.
