SUMMARY:Cybersecurity for Humanists
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will discuss security challenges facing the humanities and how to defend research interests online. We will learn many of the common terms and issues related to Cybersecurity and think about how to protect our project infrastructure beyond institutional IT requirements. We will discuss how to detect\, respond\, and recover from an attack. We will think about a broader threat model for the humanities and academic research in general. We will also take time to consider particular threats faced by researchers engaged in politically charged issues. There are no prerequisites to participate in this session.

SUMMARY:Build Your Own Text-as-Data Corpus: A Print-to-Bytes Primer
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop will teach participants how to construct their own digital text corpus for conducting humanities data analysis. We’ll cover simple tools for turning printed texts in a variety of languages into computer-readable files\, the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software\, and consider helpful tools for post-process correction of digitized texts. We’ll also look at open-access text-as-data sources available over simple web-browser-based API calls. The workshop is geared toward digital humanists needing to assemble text data that are not yet compiled or in computer readable form for analysis\, and who are looking for an introduction to the workflows and software suited to building the research materials needed for analysis. We’ll learn how to use Tesseract\, an open-source OCR software\, consider the anatomy of an HOCR file (the output of OCR efforts)\, and deploy techniques for extracting structured information from a page. \nComputer with a text editor installed such as BBEdit\, TextWrangler\, Atom\, Notepad++ or the like; administrator access to install open-source software (Tesseract).

SUMMARY:Using Google Sheets to Create\, Organize and Explore Your Humanities Data
DESCRIPTION:Google Sheets is a web-based spreadsheet program\, equivalent in some ways to Microsoft Excel\, with a wide array of features and uses. For people who would like to embark on a digital humanities project\, it is one of many options for organizing data. \nThis workshop is aimed at total beginners and will introduce a few ways to facilitate automatic data entry\, organization\, and visualization on Google Sheets. The skills presented in this workshop are suitable for anyone working with spreadsheets\, and apply for any project in which there is repeated information (names\, places\, objects\, dates). We will learn to sort and filter data\, auto-populate cells\, and organize sheets visually. \nThe workshop is in three parts: first\, an overview of Google Sheets and potential use cases (e.g.\, art exhibitions over time\, books authored by a publishing house); second\, a detailed explanation of some of Google Sheets’ features (Code Tables\, Data Validation\, Conditional Formatting\, VLookup\, Column Stats and Filters\, and Pivot Tables); and third\, a walkthrough of these tools using a sample data set. Participants can follow along with the walkthrough by using their own data or the sample set provided. \nPrerequisites: Basic familiarity with Google Sheets or Excel.\nThe course will be carried out using Google Sheets. You will be added to a shared sheet using the email address that you provide for the registration\, so a Google account is required. Participants can also observe the process without using the Sheets and can use their own data set to practice the skills learned.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Open Digital Scholarship in the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Open access\, open science\, open knowledge\, open data … what does all of this openness mean\, and what does it mean for those working in or alongside the humanities in particular? This offering will explore the role of open knowledge dissemination in the humanities\, academia\, and at large. We will focus on the history\, evolution\, forms\, and impact of open digital scholarship within the domain of scholarly communication. Our time together will be content- and discussion-driven\, but we’ll also engage with an open publishing tool or two. This workshop is geared toward students\, librarians\, scholars\, publishers\, government representatives\, and others who are invested in the open development and sharing of research output.

SUMMARY:Using R and Shiny for Visualizing Humanities Spatial Data
DESCRIPTION:This course will focus on using the programming language R as a way of visualizing spatial data. It will use four humanities datasets (pre-modern and modern\, from Europe and the Middle East) and the code required to carry out the visualization. We will discuss how participants might match different kinds of spatial datasets for different visualizations in Shiny. We will approach the visualization process in four steps: (1) discussing what the “story” of our data is\, and which aspects or conclusions from it we want to illuminate via visualization. (2) preprocessing our data into a dataset. Here it is especially important to determine the aspects of a given dataset\, i.e. if a two-faceted approach is satisfactory or if a more faceted approach (e.g. temporospatial) is required. (3) choosing the clearest and most efficient visual representation for our dataset. (4) selecting the most viable user interface to maximize accessibility and impact of our visualization. \nPrerequisites: basic familiarity with Leaflet & a programming language such as R \nNote: The course will be carried out using RStudio Cloud. You will be added to an account using the email address that you provide for the registration and you will need to activate it by responding to an email before the session. Participants can also observe the process without being added to RStudio.
