East Asian Digital Humanities
Dr. Molly Des Jardin
reading/video assignments revised March 21, 2019
Course Description
This course covers a wide range of current and emerging digital projects and topics in East Asianstudies. Students will engage with digital projects focused on East Asia (encompassing Japanese,
Chinese, and Korean languages) as well as research being done on digital methodologies for thehumanities in those areas. Coursework consists of project and research analysis, active
discussion, and learning about the implementation of various digital projects. No technicalexpertise is required but students must have reading knowledge of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean
at the high-intermediate or advanced level. Class presentations, papers, discussions, and all
course readings are in English, but final projects involve reading articles and/or critiquing
projects in the language and geographic area of students’ expertise.

Assignments and Grading:
1. Final Project (40%)
Undergraduate Final Project: Literature Review
Students will conduct a literature review on a topic of interest. It should be based on one or a
combination of the class units so students have a foundation for their review based in the articles
or projects introduced in the syllabus. The review should include the current state of the field,
such as implemented projects or research papers from the past 10 years. Some backgroundreading older than 10 years may be used. At least one project or research paper reviewed must
be in the student's language of expertise, but the paper should be in English and any quotations
from the foreign-language source translated into English. Students may use any citation stylethey are comfortable with. Maximum 15 pages, double-spaced (12-point Arial or Times New
Roman font), not including bibliography.
Graduate Final Project: Project Pitch and Analysis
Students will outline and pitch a project or research proposal of their devising, and contextualize
it in the current state of the field and technological developments. The assignment may combine
multiple units of class topics, but should be a coherent project with a clear research aim. This
assignment consists of:a. Project pitch to a funding organization or student's department/advisor. (1 single-spaced
page ONLY)
b. Literature review and critical analysis of current research related to the student's idea. Thiscan include digital projects and research papers. At least one project or research paper reviewed
must be in the student's language of expertise, but the paper should be in English and any
quotations from the foreign-language source translated into English.
c. Introduction to and outline of the student's project idea, including research question andwhy it is novel or important in context of the existing field.
d. Outline of technology, methodologies, and tools (if available) needed to complete theproject.

e. Bibliography of literature review and critical analysis/contextualization sections
The project pitch and analysis should consist of no more than 20 double-spaced pages in 12point Arial or Times New Roman font, excluding part (a) and (e). Students should take thespace they need -- no more and no less -- to explain, contextualize, and justify their projects,
even if they don't reach the 20-page maximum.
2. Class Participation & Discussion (40%)
Attendance and participation in class discussions (as well as thorough preparation by readingmaterials and previewing projects, software, and tutorials) is mandatory. Generally, the first halfof the seminar meeting will cover the specifics of research and projects (including Q&A among
students and guest speakers), and the second will be more general critical discussion of the
week's topic.
3. Response Papers (20%)
Students will write to the week's readings and projects, due the day after class each week. The
grade is pass/fail and is an additional participation assessment. The papers are not to be final,
polished work, but rather an initial reaction and thoughts on the week's topic and issues, andshould be no longer than two pages.
