The South African Digital Humanities and Computational Social Sciences Stakeholder Map Project
Channel: ESCALATOR
Date: 2022-04-28

The stakeholder map project aims to collect and share data on Digital Humanities (DH), Computational Social Sciences (CSS) and related activities and initiatives in South Africa. The map includes data on projects, people, publications, datasets, training courses, learning materials, tools, archives, and unclassified records. The aim is to provide deeper insight into the breadth of activities in this area, facilitate enhanced networking and collaboration, and support the optimal use of resources. The stakeholder map will, for example, support researchers looking for collaborators, help potential students to identify undergraduate and postgraduate training programmes, and highlight gaps and opportunities to funders and institutions.

Data for the stakeholder map is captured using a Google Form and can now be submitted at https://bit.ly/add-data-dhcssza-stakeholdermap. Please note that we are only collecting information about the South African landscape at present.

Research articles can be added to an open collection in Zotero to facilitate easy access to publications from the South African community at https://www.zotero.org/groups/3866799/dhcssza.
