Project:
This project will iterate on the open source Python for Humanities Curriculum (https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-humanities-lesson/) to advance it to a state where it is suitable for broader field testing by digitial humanities instructors world-wide. Integral to this effort will be replacing the current dataset that contains only early English works with a comparable but much more representative dataset that would allow for learning exercises exploring DEI related questions.
