CategoryPositionThe doctoral programme in Digital Studies offers doctoral students from the CUSO universities (Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, and the Graduate Institute of Geneva) a space for training, reflection and sharing on the challenges of cultures, societies and digital humanities. Resolutely interdisciplinary, it allows students from very different backgrounds to meet and compare their methodologies, from literary studies, history and art history to social sciences and geography, via linguistics, languages and philosophy. The programme aims to provide guidance for doctoral research that involves the use of computational tools or the study of digital cultures, the critical analysis of digital/digitalised sources, or the social and political ramifications of digitalisation.
The doctoral programme in Digital Studies, born in 2017 and initially funded by swissuniversities (2017-2020), joined CUSO in January 2022. The programme in Digital Studies was envisaged as a complementary and flexible offer. It is therefore possible to register for a few events per year, without being obliged to participate in recurrent events. The different activities of the programme do not require any prerequisites and can be followed separately.
Because of the training and reflection on digital tools offered, in collaboration with researchers trained in social and human sciences using digital technology and with engineers, this programme has a professionalizing dimension, well beyond the academic world.
