SUMMARY:Digital Humanities DTS drop-in session
DESCRIPTION:Do you have technical questions about your Digital Humanities project? \nPaul 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\, \n\n‘What software could I use?’\n‘How do I build a database for my project?’\n‘Could I write a program to help analyse my data?’\n\nIf 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. \nThese sessions are for UoR colleagues only. \n  \nAbout Us\nPaul Heaton\, Research Software Engineer\nAs 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. \nDawn Kanter\, Digital Humanities Officer\nDawn’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.

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!
