does not yet know<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat\ndoes undergraduate research in the humanities typically look like? Rather than\nhours in a lab, it involves hours in a library. Rather than working in a team,\nit generally means working on your own. And, in my experience, it tends to mean\nreading the work of other scholars\u2014which the professor almost certainly knows\nalready\u2014on a subject and then synthesizing them to inform your interpretations\nof one text or another. There\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with this form of\nresearch; indeed, it prepares you for any number of different things one does IRL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While\nsituated firmly in the humanities, this course aspires to something different. We\nwill work together<\/em> to investigate\nsomething that I do not yet know<\/em>:\nwhat the co-occurrence of characters is within Charles Schulz\u2019s comic strip, Peanuts<\/em>.\nWe will investigate this, as well as many other questions that we collectively\nidentify, using digital humanities methods, seeking to answer questions that other\nscholars have not yet considered. In the end, we will choose a project that we\ncan tackle on as a final research experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBy\nthe end of the course, we will all have more experience in humanities research,\ndigital humanities methods, and working collaboratively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
