The DHGA is the first MA of its kind, both within Hong Kong and the wider region, and Lingnan’s liberal arts ethos combined with the Department of History’s teaching talent, make the university the ideal home for such a programme. Students will also be taught by a strong faculty in both the History of Asia and in the Digital Humanities.

“We hope to train our students to, first, use the tools really well and then to understand the meaning of the new data that is generated,” Prof Leung Vincent, the Programme Director says.

The focus on Asia’s global past in the programme is intended to provide students with concrete material to apply the digital tools to. What’s more, many of the early developments in the digital humanities, digital history and geographical information systems, were made by scholars in Asian studies.

“One of the first corpuses of text fully digitised was the Buddhist corpus,” Prof Leung notes. This track record provides the MA with deep foundations to build on, and Asia continues to be at the forefront of the evolution of digital history.
