Subject: Helsinki Summer School for BA and MA students / Digital Transformation of State and Society in Russia
To: [log in to unmask]
The Aleksanteri Institute, the Finnish Centre for Russian and Eastern European Studies at the University of
Helsinki, invites international students from all countries to participate in the Helsinki Summer School course
Digital Transformation of State and Society in Russia, on 6 - 22 August 2019.
The 'digital' is profoundly changing Russia today, equally transforming the methods used to study Russia. To grasp
this two-fold transformation, this course brings together leading Helsinki experts in Russian Studies and digital
humanities to examine how Russian society, politics, economy and culture are reconfigured in the context of
digitalisation. We now have a wealth of new (big) data sources, such as digital archives, social media and various
kinds of 'digital-born' content that allow us to investigate Russian society in novel ways.
Through a series of lectures, demos and workshops culminating in a three-day hackathon, the course provides a
concise overview of the novel opportunities for applying digital methods and big data to the study of Russian state
and society. We will address methodological questions that are particular to the study of Russia, such as Russian
social media platforms and the analysis of Russian-language sources, as well as legal and ethical controversies
involved in working with Russian digital research materials. The course is suitable for all students interested in
the changing field of Russian Studies at the intersection of the 'societal' and the 'digital'.
The course is organised by the Digital Russia Studies network<https://blogs.helsinki.fi/digital-russia-studies/>
and Master's Programme in Russian Studies<https://www.helsinki.fi/en/programmes/master/russian-studies>, both
affiliated with the Aleksanteri Institute. For more information about the course, please see:
