Why we code: public talk and weekend workshop
Who
Anyone from student to senior scholar is welcome to join us, especially if any of these describe you:
- interested in or sceptical about how coding can provoke thinking about language and literature
- no programming background, but would like the chance to get hands-on experience in the context of humanities studies
- have some previous programming experience, but curious about Julia
- coming from outside the humanities and wonder why my friends and colleagues who study humanities would write code
What
