We are a group of researchers/teachers at HUM who are interested in different methods related to digital culture and text studies. The group focuses on digital text studies, theory, and methodology and will work to apply these in both our research and teaching practices. The group's activities are interdisciplinary and thus address (but are not limited to) researchers from several departments in the fields of culture, literature, and language. The activities of the group include the exchange of ideas, solutions, and perspectives, as well as the identification of problems that we may best solve together. The aim is to strengthen the study of digital humanities that concerns digital text studies by establishing an interdisciplinary community of practitioners.

Digital Humanities (DH) uses digital methods to solve humanities research questions, and once a year the organisation Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries (DHNB) holds a conference that brings together Nordic and Baltic research environments to exchange knowledge and inspire each other.
This year the conference is online and free. To mark the start of the conference DHNB 2023, KUB Datalab is organising a workshop with four short presentations on how digital humanities are part of the research and teaching at Søndre Campus. The workshop is organized in collaboration with the network Digital Humanities Culture and Text (DH-CULT). DH-CULT is a local network on Søndre Campus for researchers who have an interest in exploring DH in relation to text.
It is free to participate in both the DHNB's online conference and the workshop. You can register for both via this link: https://www.conftool.org/dhnb2023/ or by contacting Lars Kjær, lakj@kb.dk.
