Introduction[edit]

Scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences are using increasingly complex computational tools, methods, and techniques in their research. There are three elements of the current landscape that place the Humanities and Social Sciences in a position for rapid growth:

  • increasing open source data;
  • increased access to significant computing power; and
  • growing research computing competency among humanities researchers.

To support researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Compute Canada has a dedicated team of professionals led by Compute Canada’s Humanities and Social Sciences Specialist, Dr. John Simpson. For more information, please contact the Humanities and Social Sciences Team via email (hss@computecanada.ca) or browse the additional information below
