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!

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:Writing a Data Management Plan for your Research Project
DESCRIPTION:*For UoR research postgraduates*\nThis session forms part of the Reading Researcher Development Programme (RRDP) for Research Postgraduates. \n  \nA Data Management Plan (DMP) is a structured document that sets out what data and research materials will be collected in a research project\, how they will be managed in the course of the project\, and how and where data will be preserved and made accessible to others after the project concludes. A DMP is especially useful where research involves the collection or creation of new data\, or re-use of existing data. \nWriting a DMP will help you plan and execute your research effectively\, and ensure you consider and address important data management issues\, including data storage\, organisation and documentation; research ethics and consent; intellectual property rights; and preservation and sharing of data supporting your thesis and other research outputs\, as required by University policy. A DMP will enable you to identify appropriate solutions to protect your data and the integrity of your research\, and to make the most effective use of your research materials in the long term. \nThis workshop will be of interest to students in the early stages of planning their research. It will offer practical guidance on developing a DMP\, and how to make effective use of a DMP in your day-to-day research. The workshop will introduce the University’s PGR Data Management Plan template\, which you are encouraged to use to write your DMP. Students may wish to start drafting their DMP beforehand so that they can identify any questions they have and areas where they need support. \n  \nBook your place through Reading’s Student Information System (RISIS). \nThe timetable can be viewed on the RRDP webpage in the ‘Things to do now’ section. You can also view a full timetable in the Doctoral and Researcher College site on Blackboard.

Today he focuses on living in the Internet of Things\, on new methods of digital scholarship\, and innovation in knowledge infrastructure. His personal research is at the intersection of music\, maths\, machines and AI\, empowering the creative human in music composition and performance. His work is distinctively interdisciplinary. He engages closely with multiple disciplines including humanities (digital humanities\, digital musicology)\, engineering (Internet of Things\, cybersecurity)\, social sciences (Social Machines\, Web Science)\, information science (knowledge infrastructure\, computational archival science)\, and computer science (large scale distributed systems\, AI). The talk will explore how AI and the Arts and Humanities can work together to answer new research questions and deliver innovative research. \n\nSpeaker information\nProfessor David De Roure is Professor of e-Research in the Engineering Science Department at the University of Oxford\, and a Turing Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute. Throughout his career David has investigated emerging technologies in large scale distributed and sociotechnical systems\, with a broad interest in society\, technology and creativity\, while also focusing on innovation in the process of scholarship. He has co-founded three interdisciplinary initiatives: the PETRAS National Centre of Excellence for IoT Systems Cybersecurity\, which is the world’s largest socio-technical research centre focused on the future implementation of the Internet of Things; the Software Sustainability Institute\, cultivating better and more sustainable software to enable world-class research; and PRiSM\, The Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music at the Royal Northern College of Music. \nProfessor James Ferryman is Professor of Computational Vision at the University of Reading. His current research is concerned with the automatic visual surveillance of wide area scenes using computational vision. The research has contributed new results in the areas of model-based vision\, visual tracking and surveillance\, especially using 3D deformable models. \nDr Dominic Lees is Associate Professor of Filmmaking at the University of Reading. His research is rooted in his professional experience as a director of television drama and independent feature film. His major recent research has been into deepfakes – the digital replacement of actors’ faces in film using systems of Artificial Intelligence. He was Principal Investigator of the project Virtual Maggie (2019-20)\, which used a practice research methodology to explore how ‘machine learning’ could be used to digitally resurrect Margaret Thatcher in a contemporary drama. HIs work also examines the ethics and legal questions arising from deepfakes\, and the impact on the performer in screen production. He is currently leading the Deepfakes Research Network (DFRN)\, which brings together UK and international scholars\, industry stakeholders and governmental bodies to consider the future of this technology. \nDr Jumbly Grindrod is a Lecturer of Philosophy at the University of Reading. His research interests lie in philosophy of language and epistemology. In particular\, he is interested in context-sensitivity and the semantics-pragmatics interface\, and how this debate can or does inform epistemological debates. More recently\, he has also been interested in the extent to which corpus analytics can be used to help answer philosophical questions. Jumbly Grindrod’s recent research has investigated whether corpus linguistics and computational linguistics can help further philosophical inquiry. In particular\, he has explored whether the distributional semantic approach that is at the core of large language models can help shed light on philosophical and linguistic questions about the nature of linguistic meaning. \n  \n

Do you want to find out more about what these involve?\n We are pleased to invite you to a Collections and Digitisation workshop on Wednesday 29 March 2023\, 2pm-4pm at the MERL\, run jointly by UMASCS (University Museums\, Archives\, and Special Collections Services) and the Digital Humanities Hub. \n The workshop will help you gain first-hand understanding of what is involved in the digitisation process directly from the staff that would support collections-based research\, to inform the inclusion of digital resources in your project proposals. \nProgramme:\n\nIntroduction to digitisation\, sustainability and preservation\nCollections research themes\nMERL Online Exhibition templates\nCase Study – Modernist Archives Publishing Project\nCurrent Digitisation Projects at UMASCS\nTour of the Digitisation Equipment\n\nThe aim is to help you consider what you want to or could digitise and why\, who your audience is\, what level of images you might need and how you might want them to interact with the rest of your resource\, including text. \nWe will also discuss the pre-existing solutions available to you if you want to include an online exhibition mainly for purposes of external engagement. Linking this in with collections research themes\, and using templates based on the MERL’s website\, will integrate your project with other UoR work and guarantee your resource will remain sustainable\, without risk of loss or the need for manual updates. \nUnsure whether collections-based research is suited to your work? For more information and ideas\, have a look at our Working with Collections guide. \n  \nWorkshop details:\nDate: Wednesday 29 March 2023 \nTime: 14:00-16:00 \nWhere: MERL (Museum of English Rural Life)\, Redlands Road [for confirmation of exact venue please sign up] \nWho: Academic\, technical and project staff based in all H&C divisions \nCapacity: 30 \n  \nIf you would like to attend\, RSVP to Olivia Thompson\, Digital Humanities Officer o.j.r.thompson@reading.ac.uk by 23 March 2023. \nPlease also get in touch if you have any questions about the workshop or if you cannot attend but would be interested in training or advice on these subjects. \nThis event is in-person only\, but resources will be made available afterwards. If you are unable to attend this iteration of the workshop\, it will be run again in the future. \nPlease note this workshop is for H&C staff\, it is not for PhD students. If you have any interested supervisees\, there will be a separate workshop on Digital Scholarship with Collections for graduate students: please get in touch with Dr Rhi Smith\, Director of UMASCS Academic Learning and Engagement (r.smith@reading.ac.uk).

Online social networking platforms and the World Wide Web have changed how society thinks about connectivity. Because of the technological nature of such networks\, their study has predominantly taken place within the domains of computer science and related scientific fields. But arts and humanities scholars are increasingly using the same kinds of visual and quantitative analysis to shed light on aspects of culture and society hitherto concealed. This paper will argue that networks are a category of study that cuts across traditional academic barriers\, uniting diverse disciplines through a shared understanding of complexity in our world. Moreover\, we are at a moment in time when it is crucial that arts and humanities scholars join the critique of how large-scale network data and advanced network analysis are being harnessed for the purposes of power\, surveillance\, and commercial gain. To illustrate the potential of the frameworks and methods of network analysis\, this paper will draw from the findings of two recent projects that I led\, Tudor Networks of Power\, and Networking Archives. \n\nSpeaker information\nProfessor Ruth Ahnert is Professor of Literary History and Digital Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. Her research background is in early modern history\, with a particular interest in book history and epistolary culture. She completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge and has published a monograph\, The Rise of Prison Literature in the Sixteenth Century (2013)\, and edited collection Re-forming the Psalms in Tudor England (2015). Since 2012 she has increasingly been interested in computational methods\, and has worked on collaborative projects focusing on the application of quantitative network analysis to the study of early modern letters\, with partners such as the Stanford Humanities Center and Folger Shakespeare Library. She is currently Principal Investigator on the large interdisciplinary project Living with Machines based at the British Library and Alan Turing Institute. She is joint series editor of the Stanford University Press’s Text Technologies series\, which publishes books positioned at the intersection between book history and digital humanities. \nDr Amy Richardson is a Senior Research Fellow in Archaeology at the University of Reading. Her research focuses on the analysis of new and archival archaeological datasets to examine networks of people and materials in the Middle East\, applying materials and network analysis to assemblages of clay and stone artefacts. Current projects include the ERC-funded MENTICA project on integrated community approaches to the Middle East Neolithic transition; the AHRC-funded Heritage and Eco-tourism for Sustainable Development in Iraqi Kurdistan which aims to create core digital and physical resources with local stakeholders to support sustainable tourism opportunities; and ‘GLUE: Glyptic Landscapes of early Urban Engagement\, 3700-2800 BCE’\, which combines pXRF analysis of clays with iconographic and functional analysis in order to shed light on the development of bureaucratic practices of early urban societies. She is also a University of Reading Open Research Champion. \nDr Fiona Coward is Associate Professor in Archaeological Sciences at Bournemouth University. Her work focuses on the evolution of human social life and cognition throughout the Palaeolithic but also throughout the shift from mobile foraging to more settled and agricultural lifeways in the early Holocene. She is interested in the progression from prehistoric small social groups to the global social networks of today\, and employs a multidisciplinary approach\, emphasising the interrelations between humanity’s physical and social environments\, as well as a variety of techniques including network analysis\, GIS and agent-based modelling. Dr Coward is co-Deputy Director of Bournemouth University’s Institute for Modelling Socio-Ecological Transitions\, co-I on the SUNDASIA Project investigating human response to climate and environmental change in northern Vietnam\, and a founding member of ‘The Connected Past‘ project\, developing methodologies derived from network science for use with archaeological and historical datasets. \nDr Valentina Vavassori is a Digital Scholarship Researcher at the National Archives. She is interested in the development of User Interfaces for Linked Open Data\, ontologies and data modelling. She completed her PhD\, on ‘Digital Narratives in Physical Museums. Narrative Construction with Contextual Technologies’\, at King’s College London\, where she also worked on the project ‘Reframing Art: Opening up Art Dealers’ Archives to Multi-Disciplinary Research’ in collaboration with the National Gallery. Dr Vavassori has a background in Art History and worked as a museum educator and freelance curator in Italy and United Kingdom. Between 2014 and 2016 she was Content Manager and Co-Founder of the start-up PopApp Tour\, specialised in Heritage Geolocation. \n  \n

I open up the question of what the role of Digital Humanities might be in this conjuncture\, which sees the arts and humanities often marginalised by academia. At the same time\, though\, the contemporary world presents a number of wider social\, political and technological challenges that the arts and humanities may be well equipped to address.\n\nI draw on my recent work on the importance of feminist theories of performativity (particularly Karen Barad’s and Judith Butler’s) to unpack the functioning of Artificial Intelligence\, Machine Learning and data-driven methods and policies\, as well as the injustices and inequalities they generate.\n\nI invite the Digital Humanities to enter in a critical dialogue with contemporary technology by taking into account at least two aspects. Firstly\, technology has always been central to the constitution of what we call “the human”. Secondly\, Digital Humanities can itself be a generator of social and political inequalities or\, conversely\, an important tool for redressing such inequalities.\n\nI conclude by considering the role of feminist performativity in rethinking what it means to perform Digital Humanities responsibly today.\n\nSpeaker information\nProfessor Federica Frabetti is a Principal Lecturer in Digital Media and Head of Partnerships at the University of Roehampton. Her research interests are digital media\, software studies\, cultural studies\, theory\, the social and cultural study of technology\, digital humanities\, and gender and queer studies. Professor Fabretti has decades of experience in both the academic and industrial sectors\, having taught for more than 10 years at various UK universities\, and prior to pursuing an academic career\, working for 15 years in the IT and telecommunication industry in Italy. In 2011 she edited the special issue of the academic journal Culture Machine\, “The Digital Humanities Beyond Computing”. She is the author of Software Theory (Rowman and Littlefield\, 2015). \nDr Eugene McSorley is a Senior Lecturer in Experimental Psychology at the University of Reading\, as well as the Director of Postgraduate Studies for the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences. He is interested in visual target selection and what that tells us about how we process and experience the world. His current projects involve basic eye movement selection and the underlying processes supporting that\, decision making\, aesthetics and emotional processing\, and the Psychology of Art (neuroaesthetics\, emprirical aesthetics). \nDr Dominic Lees is Associate Professor of Filmmaking at the University of Reading. His main interests are in aesthetics and style in television drama and film. More recently he has begun research on deepfakes – the digital replacement of actors’ faces in film using Artificial Intelligence\, examining the ethical and legal questions arising from using deepfakes as well as their impact on performers and audiences\, and the transformative impact of new technologies on the creative process generally. He leads the Deepfakes Research Network\, which brings together international scholars\, industry professionals and government bodies to consider the future of this technology. His research is rooted in professional practice: his work as a director includes 40 episode of mainstream UK drama series and the award-winning feature Outlanders (2008). He is co-author of Seeing it on Television (Bloomsbury\, 2021). \nDr Mara Oliva is Associate Professor in History and Lecturer in Modern American History at the University of Reading. Her research concerns the political history of the US in the 20th century\, with particular focus on the interface between domestic and foreign policy. As Digital Humanities Academic Champion\, Mara promotes the integration of approaches from the discipline within research practice at the University\, and leads the events programme and Community of Practice. She is the author of Eisenhower and Public Opinion on China and co-editor of The Trump Presidency: From Campaign Trail to World Stage (both Palgrave Macmillan\, 2018)\, and the editor of Digital Humanities Quarterly.

This project grew initially out of research on ancient Roman buildings\, and developed as a teaching innovation. Its ongoing uses include a public-facing online course (MOOC) which has now been taken by over 62\,000 people and has generated significant revenue and course applications at Reading; there are also research uses and ‘impactful’ licensing to television documentaries\, software firms\, games studios\, and others. The model itself and a Part 3 module deriving from it won a Guardian/HEA teaching innovation award\, and were the basis of a successful application for a National Teaching Fellowship and two REF impact case studies. It was largely created in free or low-cost consumer software\, without specialist training. \nThis talk will look at the creation of the digital model: the software and processes used to create it\, the challenges and benefits of 3D visualisation of the ancient past\, and some of its uses and applications. \nReading materials\n\nVirtual Rome website\nBook chapter: Nicholls\, M.
