Digital Humanities and Digital Skills in the Future of Work: Introduction

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the future of work through the prism of digital skills and digital humanities. As such, it constructs a framework for further investigation into various aspects of the workplace in the ever changing conditions. As digital skills are considered to be key elements of the future employee’s portfolio, digital humanities offers an interdisciplinary space for developing them. The author proposes a modified definition of digital humanities, which focuses less on its academic potential and more on its ability to combine human-centric approach with digital skills. By promoting collaboration, data analysis and communication, digital humanities is a crucial element of the future of work.

Keywords: digital humanities, digital skills, future of work, data analysis, collaboration
