New Class on the Grand Tour
This Winter Quarter, Professor Giovanna Ceserani will be teaching a new class on the Grand Tour called "Mapping the Grand Tour: Digital Methods for Historical Data" (CLASSICS115/ HISTORY238C/ ITALIAN115/ ENGLISH115)
"Classical Italy attracted thousands of travelers throughout the 1700s. Referring to their journey as the "Grand Tour," travelers pursued intellectual passions, promoted careers, and satisfied wanderlust, all while collecting antiquities to fill museums and estates back home. What can digital approaches tell us about who traveled, where and why? We will read travel accounts, experiment with language processing, and visualize historical data. Final projects to form credited contributions to the Grand Tour Project (see grandtour.standord.edu) a cutting-edge digital platform. No prior CS experience needed."
