Further information about the webinar:

Join Anisa Hawes (Programming Historian’s Publishing Manager) for a webinar on transforming Digital Humanities research methods into effective and engaging lessons. Using a lesson framework being developed as part of Programming Historian’s author guidelines, participants will be encouraged to think through approaches for writing about their own research practice to create a methodological lesson suitable for either self-study or classroom teaching. We will outline best practices for sustainable technical writing, contextualising sample datasets with relevant use cases, embedding accessibility principles, and writing for a global audience. Participants will be supported as they work on a draft of a technical lesson, and will be invited to consider shaping a proposal for the English edition of Programming Historian before the call closes on 15 February 2026: tinyurl.com/open-call-2025-blog.
