Another short note:
The Faculty of Humanities at Gothenburg University, Sweden, founded a Digital Humanities Center that began operation in January 2015. Last fall, the DH people at Gothenburg started a seminar series in digital humanities that continues in 2015. So far, there have been two seminars/lectures this year, the opening one delivered by Julianne Nyhan (University College London) on “Digital Humanities: Origins and Future Possibilities” on Feb 4. Joseph Trotta (Gothenburg University) presented his interdisciplinary work in the second talk “The Empirical Strikes Back: Corpus Linguistics, Stylistics & Literary Analysis” on Feb 26. There are four talks on a variety of humanities topics to come (the programme can be found here).
The Gothenburg DH-center works on a DH curriculum (BA, MA, perhaps even Ph.D.?) and seeks to establish new and strengthen already existing networks within the Scandinavian and Nordic region and to the European and International DH community. Gothenburg University and the University of Oslo will collaborate as much as possible in fostering the Nordic Digital Humanities Network.
