SUMMARY:(Generative) Artificial Intelligence and Teaching the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:Edward Ross and Jackie Baines (Department of Classics) invite teachers\, researchers\, scholars\, and practitioners to participate in a new\, hybrid conference event exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and teaching about the ancient world\, broadly conceived. From the exponential environmental impact to the distortion of ancient history to the development of new models\, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools are making growing impacts on how the ancient world is taught\, investigated\, perceived\, and understood. It is crucial to discuss these arising issues with those involved at all stages of the teaching\, research\, and development processes so that the many disciplines engaged in ancient world studies might have a consensus about the use\, ethics\, and impact of GenAI. \nKeynote Address: Environmentally (un)sustainable AI: rethinking responsibilities for Ancient World Studies? by Prof. Federica Lucivero (Ethox Centre\, University of Oxford) \nSpeakers include teachers\, researchers\, and practitioners from eight countries. Discussions will include Reconciling the Ethics of Using GenAI in Ancient World T&L\, Case Studies of Good Practice\, Developing AI Models for Supporting Ancient World T&L\, and GenAI in Public Ancient History and Reception. \n\nPlease find the full programme here.\nPlease register here.\n\nIf there are any issues registering\, please contact the conference committee.

SUMMARY:Open Research and Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 12 March  \nTime: 13.00 to 14.00  \nLocation: Palmer 103 and online  \n  \nThe Digital Humanities CoP and Hub\, in collaboration with the Open and Robust Research at Reading (ORRR) network\, invite you to a lunchtime event on the theme of Open Research and Digital Humanities.   \nThe event will include a guest talk by Dr Christopher Ohge\, Senior Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature at the School of Advanced Study and member of the School of Advanced Study’s Digital Humanities Research Hub.   \nTitle: Responsible Computing in Scholarly Publication  \nAbstract: This talk will review the importance of responsible computing\, including Open Research practices\, in Digital Humanities research. He will draw on three recent initiatives – his work on the Herman Melville Electronic Library\, a digital edition of an anti-slavery anthology\, and coordinating the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition Toolkit – to highlight the challenges and opportunities of responsible approaches. Using these examples\, Dr Ohge will show how minimal computing strategies in particular can both increase sustainability and make a statement to promote environmentally conscious digital research.  \nDr Ohge will be joined for questions by Dr Dawn Kanter (Digital Humanities Officer)\, Dr Anna Tsakalaki (ORRR network lead)\, Evangeline Gowie (UKRN Open Research Coordinator)\, and Dr Robert Darby (Research Data Manager)\, in a panel chaired by Dr Mara Oliva (Digital Humanities Academic Champion).  \n  \nOur events are open to all researchers\, staff\, and PGRs from any subject – we welcome interdisciplinary collaboration!  \nTea/coffee will be available for those attending in person.   \n  \nProgramme  \n\n\n\n1-1:10 \nCoffee and welcome\nDr Mara Oliva\, Dr Dawn Kanter\, Dr Anna Tsakalaki and Evangeline Gowie \n\n\n1:10-1:40 \nGuest talk: Responsible Computing in Scholarly Publication \nDr Christopher Ohge\, School of Advanced Study \n\n\n1:40-1:50 \nQ&A Panel\nDr Christopher Ohge\, Dr Dawn Kanter\, Dr Anna Tsakalaki\, Evangeline Gowie\, Dr Robert Darby\, chaired by Dr Mara Oliva \n\n\n1:50-2:00 \nWhat’s next (who to contact\, future events for DH and OR)\nDr Mara Oliva\, Dr Dawn Kanter\, Dr Anna Tsakalaki and Evangeline Gowie \n\n\n\n  \nMore about the DH CoP and Hub  \nDigital Humanities (DH) is the critical study of the intersection between digital technologies\, disciplines in the Arts and Humanities\, and scholarly communication. The DH Community of Practice (CoP) and the DH Hub work together in supporting researchers to build knowledge and skills in DH\, to develop and undertake DH research projects\, and to maintain digital research outcomes. You can read more about the CoP here and about the Hub here.  \n  \nMore about the ORRR Network  \nOpen and Robust Research at Reading (ORRR) is a network of colleagues interested in making research accessible to everyone.  \nOpen access publishing is just the tip of the iceberg that is ‘open research’\, which aims to make all stages of the research lifecycle (e.g. data\, methodologies) transparent\, collaborative and robust. The network aims to overcome silos to provide a space where colleagues from all departments can ask questions and share expertise in the growing (but challenging!) area of open research.  \nThe network hosts monthly events\, a Teams channel with spaces for different interests and newsletters detailing open research support and activity within the university. Members contribute by speaking at events\, sharing resources on Teams or opening discussions around challenges they are facing or have overcome. The Network is supported by the University’s Open Research Action Plan (2024-29) and draws heavily on activities and projects in collaboration with the UK Reproducibility Network (Why open research at Reading?). It is facilitated by Anna Tsakalaki\, the Reproducibility Local Network Lead\, Evangeline Gowie\, the Open Research Coordinator\, and Etienne Roesch\, the Institutional Lead for Reading.  \nScheduled events:  \nIn 2025\, there is a range of scheduled events to participate in:  \n\nMonthly meetings of the Open Research practices in Qualitative methods special interest group. \nInvited internal and external talks on applied use of different Open Research practices on real projects. \nDiscussions around application of specific OR methodologies and implications for researchers \nPractical support on how-to by peers \n\n  \nJoin the Open Research network to find out more about what is on offer and participate in events!

SUMMARY:Writing a Data Management Plan
DESCRIPTION:*For UoR staff*\nMany public funders of research require researchers to submit a data management plan (DMP) as part of a grant application\, detailing what data will be collected in the proposed project\, how data will be managed\, and how and where data will be preserved and made available to others when the project concludes. Whether a funder requires it or not\, if you use data in your research\, you should have a DMP for your project. Writing a DMP can help you plan and execute research effectively\, curate data for maximum utility\, identify and manage risks\, and ensure resource needs are appropriately costed. \nThis 2 hour course will offer practical guidance on developing an effective DMP for a grant application\, and how to make best use of a DMP in your day to day research. Information about data management planning tools and resources to help you will be provided. \nThe objectives of this course are: \n\nLearn how to write a data management plan for a grant application or research project.\nIdentify the core components of a data management plan and the key considerations to address in the plan.\nFind out about resources and where to get help.\n\nPlease book your place via UoRLearn.

SUMMARY:Humanities Data
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: Dr Giles Bergel (Oxford)\, Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities in the Department of Engineering Science \nDate: Wednesday 20 November 2024 \nTime: 13.00 to 14.30 \nPlace: EMG27 and Online \n  \nProgramme\nCoffee and Tea available from 13.00 \n\n\n\n13.00\nWelcome and Intro – Dr Mara Oliva (DH Champion) and Dr Dawn Kanter (DH Officer)\n\n\n13.10\nKeynote address: Dr Giles Bergel\, Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities\, Department of Engineering Science – “Do Humanists have Data?”\n\n\n13.40\nRoundtable:\nDr Amy Richardson\, Archaeology\, “Data-driven approaches in the archaeology of the Middle East”\nDr Rhi Smith\, UMASCS\, “Museum data: tackling legacies and making connections”\nDr Dawn Kanter\, DH Hub\, “Collecting and Connecting Portrait-Sitting Data”\n\n\n14.00\nQ&A\n\n\n14.10\nHow to go about it: Dr Dawn Kanter and Dr Robert Darby with Dr Marjorie Gerhardt\n\n\n14.30\nWhat’s next (DH CoP and Hub – future events) & close – Dr Mara Oliva\n\n\n\n  \nKeynote address: Dr Giles Bergel\, Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities\, Department of Engineering Science – “Do Humanists have Data?” \nAbstract: The question that this talk addresses might be put in two different senses. In a practical sense\, the question asks if humanists work with or create data that is immediately available for computational use. On a more theoretical level it could be asked if humanists have data at all. Both questions are fundamental given (for example) AI’s voracious appetite for training data and as\, in an age of academic precarity\, the humanities seek both a realistic future and a usable past. The talk will address both questions through the example of the speaker’s experience on Digital Humanities projects in textual studies\, book history and computer vision. \nBio: Giles Bergel is Senior Researcher in Digital Humanities in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. A book historian by training\, he manages an engagement programme in the humanities for the EPSRC-funded Visual AI project\, while also pursuing research in the computational analysis of the printed page\, currently including for the AHRC-funded Envisioning Dante project. \n  \nThis event is being run by the Digital Humanities Community of Practice\, in collaboration with the Digital Humanities Hub. The DH CoP and the DH Hub work together in supporting researchers to build knowledge and skills in DH\, to develop and undertake DH research projects\, and to maintain digital research outcomes. \nOur events are open to all researchers\, staff\, and PGRs from any subject – we welcome interdisciplinary collaboration!
