Ajou's Digital Humanities Project Group under the College of Humanities successfully holds the '2016 Korea-China University Students Exchange Camp'
 
2016-02-23
 
 
 
 
From January 4th to the 8th, Ajou University's Digital Humanities Project Group (Director Kyung Hoon Jung) under the College of Humanities held the '2016 Korea-China University Students Exchange Camp' together with Peking University in China.
 
 
From Ajou University, a total of 22 people participated in the Camp, including 17 students from the College of Humanities and 5 professors of the Digital Humanities Track, and they took part in an academic seminar with students from Peking University and visited Korean companies in China and local cultural assets, etc. 
 
 
The academic seminar for undergraduate students, which was co-hosted by Ajou's Digital Humanities Project Group and the China Development Institute of Peking University, was attended by six teams from Ajou University and five teams from Peking University to present on their respective research about cultural phenomena and industry, and humanities. An interesting contrast between their presentations was that Peking's students used surveys and statistical analysis as the key methodology, while Ajou's students adopted data-mining analysis by collecting Big Data from the Internet and literary texts. Presentations and discussions during the seminar were all conducted in English.
 
 
It was a follow-up event under the MOU on mutual cooperation in education and research, which was signed in January 2015 between the Digital Humanities Project Group and the China Development Institute. Based on the camp’s success, the two organizations agreed to conduct regular academic exchanges between students from the two universities.
