The workshop series is open to faculty, staff, researchers and postgraduate students and may be attended as either \u2018a la carte\u2019 (where participants have a particular interest in a single or multiple sessions), or as a 5 ECTS module to be applied to the taught course requirements in a structured PhD.\u00a0 Please note,<\/strong> ECTS credits for this module can only be claimed by students registered at Trinity College Dublin.\u00a0 Assessment details are available here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Date: <\/b>1-4pm GMT, Weds 16th Feb (Hilary Term wk 4)<\/span><\/p> Instructor: <\/b>Dr. Erik Ketzan<\/span><\/p> Description:\u00a0 <\/b>This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of obtaining text and data for humanistic research. Where to find datasets and corpora (collections of texts)? How can you scrape hundreds or thousands of web pages using the Python programming language, specifically via the user-friendly interface of Jupyter Notebooks? As scraping from the web involves important legal and ethical considerations, we will provide a foundational overview of copyright and personal data protection in humanistic research. No prior knowledge of coding is required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Date: 1-4pm GMT, Weds<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/b>16th March<\/span><\/strong><\/p> Instructor:<\/b> Dr. Michelle Doran<\/span><\/p> Description:<\/b> What constitutes digital humanities (or what constitutes the digital humanities) is a question to which the multiplicity of answers now comprises a genre.\u00a0 The answer to this question largely depends on how we define the relationships between digital humanities and the traditional humanities disciplines, as well as the emerging humanities disciplines and the natural sciences (including computational science). Exploratory rather than prescriptive in style, this workshop will ask participants to define digital humanities as it relates to their own scholarly identities, disciplines, sources and research methodologies. Participants will also be introduced to the landscape of digital humanities at Trinity College Dublin.<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Date:<\/b> 1-4pm GMT, Weds 23rd March<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> Instructor: <\/b>Dr. David Brown and Dr. Ciaran Wallace<\/span><\/p> Description:<\/b> Using new software can be as frustrating as it is exciting.\u00a0 This practical workshop will look at the Transkribus tool and take the participants through the stages of producing digital images of hand-written text, the potential issues that can arise, and how to overcome them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Date:<\/b> 1-4pm IST, Weds 6th April<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> Instructors:<\/b> Prof. Jennifer Edmond and Eliza Papaki<\/span><\/p> Description:<\/b> In this session, we will take our (digital) humanities skills out of the academic setting to look at how we can use the paradigms of digital and data storytelling to tell different kinds of stories and reach different audiences with our work.\u00a0 The session will begin with a broad exploration of the many forms digital and data storytelling can take, from the visual and video-based interactive narrative to the infographic.\u00a0 We will explore some of the ways in which media and digital humanities researchers categorise and describe this work, and survey some of the more common tools available.\u00a0 Finally, we will take a real example, comprised of a communication goal, a data set, and a proposed audience\/message, and develop together a compact data story using readily available design tools.<\/span><\/p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Digital Scholarship and Skills Workshop Series is is now in its fourth year.
