Do you have technical questions about your Digital Humanities project?
Paul Heaton, Research Software Engineer, and Dawn Kanter, Digital Humanities Officer will be hosting a drop-in session on 6 November from 11:15-1pm in room G15 in the Library. Please feel free to drop in at any time within these hours, with your questions. For example,
- ‘What software could I use?’
- ‘How do I build a database for my project?’
- ‘Could I write a program to help analyse my data?’
If you would like to give us some background to your project before you drop in, please email digitalhumanities@reading.ac.uk. Please feel free to also email us with any feedback on how we might run these sessions in the future.
These sessions are for UoR colleagues only.
About Us
Paul Heaton, Research Software Engineer
As a Research Software Engineer, Paul provides specialist support for teaching and research, arranging the provision and setup of digital research infrastructure and services (including software and storage), and training in research programming and use of computing resources. As part of the Hub team’s support for research projects, he can advise on technical requirements and solutions, specify digital skills requirements and deliver or identify the appropriate training required. Paul’s role in the DH Hub overlaps with his work to establish a more prominent profile for Research Software Engineering at UoR.
Dawn Kanter, Digital Humanities Officer
Dawn’s role is to coordinate the Hub’s activities in order to support Digital Humanities projects within the University i.e. projects that use digital methods to address humanities research questions, or those using critical traditions in the humanities to examine digital technologies. In conjunction with other members of the team, Dawn can help researchers to develop ideas for such projects and to find ways of effectively delivering them. Her own background is in museums and cultural heritage as well as in Digital Humanities. She is the initial contact for general enquiries to the Hub.
