Digital Humanities Summer Institute #DHSI18 Day 1 Orientation/Welcome
Welcome
Ray Siemens, Alyssa Arbuckle
Library and faculty of the humanities joined together.
Territory welcome: Victor Underwood
Welcome to UVic: Jonathan Bengston (University Librarian)
Acknowledgment of the peoples on whomse traditional territories the UVic stands - I've seen this at other Canadian uni conferences.
Library's trusted role in enabling and serving knowledge must engage actively with stakeholders in adopting sustainable methods. Academic libraries are increasingly valued interdisciplinary research collaborators. UVic reoriented about 6 years ago anticipating change in research environment (MIT draft Future fo the Library report of 2017 - libraries a networked set of open digital global platforms). Jounrey UVic is walking that is enriched and informed by strength of dighum faculty and students.
Margaret Cameron (Assoc Dean Research, Humanities)
See 3rd floor library digital commons. Humanities refers to library as "laboratory from parchment to pixels." Researchers not always thinking about existence of their projects in perpetuity. Think about that possibility for your own institutions. When is a digital project "done"? What does that even mean? Culture keepers of the internet in an age of Trump, fake news, porn... there's an internet hat's a world for our students that has no borders, no police force, only the ethics we invest in it. You are here to create and maintain a world otherwise free, lawless, and open, to preserve it.
One minute Spiel per course
Text Encoding Fundamentals and their Application - tell computers what you know about your primary source material.
Digitization Fundamentals and Application - Can be complete novice. Talk about pixels and how many, why, etc. How to acquire things digitally, what accordances different media have and how we can publish. Easily paired with other fundamental courses. Looking at low level things adn appreciate behind the scenes.
Making choices about Data - Getting started working with data. Materials can be read as machine readable data. What shape is it in, what can you ask of it, what tools you can work with, how can you make it better, do more things with it. The choices you make impacts how much work it'll be.
DH for Department Chairs and Deans - Space allows discussion of administrative support related to DH. They'll survey and audit what's going on in other classes to get a greater sense in way in which DH has specific needs and challenges in terms of supporting those engage din those practices.
Intro to Javascript and Data Visualization -
I**ntro to Computation for Literary Criticism - Gateway course at DH - covers essential branches of DH (network analysis, mapping, etc.)
Out of the Box Text Analysis for the DH - Use standard tools you can use w/o learning to program. Tools let you program if you want to but let you get down and dirty into workings of text in microscopic way. Not big data--computer assisted close reading.
Sounds and DH - Conceptual framework posits at the heart of the humanities are stories about human endeavors - so artifacts like art, architecture, music, are all stories attempting to answer questions like who am I, where am I going, etc. Investigates through theory, practice, listening.
DH Pedagogy: Integration in the Curriculum - Take your research and publication or teaching, how do you build from an assignment into a course integration of scaffolded assignments into a course
Text Processing: techniques and Traditions - other practical workshop on many approaches to text with computers from search and replace, xml, text to dbs, practical publication, with reference to history of computing, OR interrogation of cultural history of text and computing.
3D modelling for the DH & Social Sciences - 1) explore recent development that 3D content creation is more accessible and less expensive than before, 2) how 3d modelling fits into larger narrative of humanities scholarship (why, what is it), 3) how of 3D modelling (reconstruct the Heritage building in BC)
Conceptualizing and creating a Digital Edition - how put text online, funding, etc. Best way to move forward
Visualizing INfo: Where Data Meets Design - experiential subjective interpretive approach to data, learn to think in images and practice what happens when design becomes to essential to RQs themselves. Open source tools, get hands dirty with hand drawn visualizations, physical 3d data sculptures, create data stories
Intro to Electronic Literature in DH: Research and practice - introduce field of e-literature (history, theories, practices, forms), critical resources and tools, archiving, preservation, bibliography, developing course materials,
Race, Social Justice, and DH: Applied theories and methods - things that should be at the center of DH
XML Applications for historical and literary research - XML is a markup language that describes text and data, and can be used in many ways.
Processing Humanities Multimedia - use and processing and manipulation of multimedia objects.
Digital Games as Tools for Scholarly Research - bringing gmes and Dh methods together. Games are underutilized, and habits of hum scholarship and methods are based on habit. Think through games as a method for communicating humanities research, doing it, and teaching it.
Web APIs with Python - when data and services and other services are available, is API. Can talk to these services, make Twitterbots, collecting historical newspaper data, foundational work starting command line.
Ethical Data Visualization: Taming Treacherous Data - ethics of data and visualization, Treacherous data can lead to bad visualizations, innocent data can be nefarious, pick apart neutrality of data visualization. Critically looking at visualization for sensemaking. Looking at the design elements and interfaces you use, the interactive exchanges you engage users of your visualizations with as things we can critically study and mitigate harm.
Digital Publishing in the Humanities - Is this DH project digital publishing? Different ways we disseminate our data and scholarship, platforms, workflow, structure, OA, Open source.
Linked Open Data and the Open Web - Silo not great. If we think about data in perpetuity, we want data to be useful once we're no longer here. Must have context for what you see. How to infuse data with context, semantics and meaning so someone else can come to it and understand what you were trying to get across.
Introduction to IIIF: Sharing, Consuming, Annotating the World's Images - International Image Interoperability framework. Consuming and annotating images - foundational for images on the web. Have a project to take home afterwards.
Feminist Digital Humanities : Theoretical, Social and Material Engagements - Rethinking what is in the periphery and what is in the center of DH - materiality, affect, body, situatedness, permeating language, processing. Political computing, data politicization. See #femDH for discussion
The Front End: modern Javascript and CSS - evolution in web development in last 5-6 years. Move to thinking from sites to web applications like react, redux, webpack. Making complex websites.
