Summer School in GIS for the Digital Humanities (free) Lancaster University, 15-18th July, 2014 Outline syllabus: The course will provide an introduction to GIS software and how it can be applied to humanities research. The course assumes no prior knowledge of GIS software but a basic competence in computing is needed. We will provide hands-on training in ArcGIS, the most widely used commercial GIS software package. Other software will also be discussed. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data with them (as text files, spread sheets, databases, images, or whatever other format) so that we can investigate using it within GIS as part of the course. Who should come? This will be relevant to post-graduate students and early career academics who can subsequently develop these skills in their own research. This event will provide a detailed and intensive introduction to GIS software with the opportunity to work with your own data. How much will it cost? Tuition at the summer school is free and includes refreshments. All other costs must be borne by the participants. How do I apply? Places are limited, as part of registering please include a brief description (max 200 words) of your research interests and what you want to gain from the workshop. The deadline for applications is Sunday 8th June.
