S1 Ep4: (un)touched in the Digital Humanities

(un)touched delves into the themes of touch, tangibility and intangibility in the world of art and visual culture. In this episode, Dr Carlotta Paltrinieri, Lecturer in Italian Studies, speaks to Prof Hannah Thompson, Professor of French and Critical Disability Studies, and Dr Hannah Platts, Lecturer in Ancient History and Archeology.

Carlotta, Hannah and Hannah discuss the benefits, and potential limitations, of applying digital and computational to the study of visual culture and the humanities. They explore how digital methods can explore new research pathways that are more inclusive, accessible and sustainable.
