Call for Applications: Summer School in “Digital Humanities and Digital Communication: Managing uses (and misuses) of AI”
The organizers are happy to announce the 8th edition of our Summer School in Digital Humanities and Digital Communication, which will be hosted by the Department of Studies on Language and Culture of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, in collaboration with the Fondazione Marco Biagi and with the patronage of the Italian Association for the Study of English (AIA). As part of the Doctoral Programme in Human Sciences, the Summer School aims to provide PhD students and young researchers with methodological tools for the study of digital communication and data analysis. The focus of this year’s edition is on the uses and misuses of AI in academic research, with particular attention to how AI-driven tools are reshaping data analysis, textual interpretation, teaching practices, and knowledge production in the humanities. While AI enables unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency in research, it also raises substantial methodological, ethical, and epistemological concerns that cannot be ignored.
