GeoHumanities: A New Perspective on Digital Humanities

This video, from the 2021 Esri Education Summit, provides two presentations that explore new perspectives on digital humanities through the use of data visualizations. In the first presentation, Caitlin Dickinson explores creative uses of GIS in the digital humanities. Dickinson provides examples of GIS projects at the University of Michigan, which include mapping Ptolemy's Almagest, creating StoryMaps for the Carceral State Project, and working on the Virulent Hate Project. In the second presentation, Jeremiah Huggins describes a GIS project that maps the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Huggins highlights reasons for the project, sources of data, project objectives, GIS capabilities, and more. 

The video recording runs 43:06 minutes in length. Additional videos from the summit are available to view separately.
