Sunoikisis Digital Classics Consortium (Sunoikisis DC) is an international, collaborative, and open teaching program for digital humanities and cultural heritage, delivered roughly at Masters level. Students of both the humanities and computer science are welcome to join the courses and work together by contributing to digital classics projects in a collaborative environment. Sunoikisis DC was originally developed by the Alexander von Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig in collaboration with the Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies and the Institute of Classical Studies, London. The current program director are Monica Berti (University of Leipzig) and Gabriel Bodard (ICS London).
Currently, programming is offered in the winter, spring, and summer semesters. All sessions are freely available online. The core of the syllabus is the online session, delivered by one or more presenters via live YouTube video, with slides, demos, discussion panels and the potential for student interaction via chat. Sessions are accompanied by (open access) reading lists, resources and exercises for students to gain hands-on experience in tools, methods and skills discussed.
