SUMMARY:Starting to Text Mine the Digitized Library with HathiTrust Features.
DESCRIPTION:Millions of books have been digitized in the past two decades. Thanks to a 2014 court ruling\, about 15 million books are available for computational analysis in the HathiTrust including data about word counts on each individual page. In the next year or two\, similar data will become available for JStor and Portico books. This session will address the following issues necessary for working with this dataset. \n1. What books have been scanned\, and which ones end up in Hathi?\n2. How do you build up a list of Hathi volumes to address a feature set?\n3. How do you acquire and work with Hathi’s “Feature Count” data programmatically?\n4. What sort of questions can you answer with these word counts\, anyway? \nEquipment Requirements: Laptop or high-powered tablet.\nPrerequisites: None; this session will generally be at a high enough level that it should be useful for those who wish to supervise research programmers rather than do it directly. Those with basic programming experience who wish to use it in the workshop should consider installing the ‘htrc-feature-counts’ module (for python) or the ‘hathidy’ package (for R).

SUMMARY:Commons In A Box OpenLab: A Commons for Open Learning
DESCRIPTION:This workshop introduces Commons In A Box OpenLab: free\, open source software that enables anyone to create a commons space specifically designed for open learning\, where students\, faculty\, and staff can collaborate across disciplinary boundaries and share their work openly with one another and the world. \nFunded by a generous grant from the NEH’s Office of Digital Humanities\, the project brings together Commons In A Box (CBOX; http://commonsinabox.org/) — the software that powers NYCDH — and City Tech’s OpenLab platform for teaching\, learning\, and collaboration (https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/). The result is a teaching-focused version of CBOX that provides a powerful and flexible alternative to costly proprietary systems\, and is already being adopted at CUNY and beyond. \nWe will begin by introducing CBOX OpenLab and demonstrating its features and functionality\, using examples drawn from City Tech’s OpenLab and BMCC’s new installation. We will then engage participants in group discussion of how they might use (or are already using) CBOX OpenLab\, and the benefits and challenges of open learning. \nEquipment: Laptops helpful\, but not required \n

SUMMARY:NYCDH Kickoff Event 2021
DESCRIPTION:NYC Digital Humanities\nin a Context of Radical Care\nThis year’s kickoff event will focus collective attention and action on the relationship between individual digital humanists and NYCDH as a community of practice impacted by ongoing crises and traumas\, such as the COVID-19 pandemic\, racial injustice\, budget austerity\, labor conditions\, and pedagogical transition\, that expose the inequitable conditions in which we do our work. In A Burst of Light\, NYC-based poet Audre Lorde writes: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, it is self-preservation\, and that is an act of political warfare.” Foregrounding the unequal\, varied\, and fluid impacts of the past year’s events on the NYC DH community as individuals and as a collective\, our kickoff events and week-long focus groups will consider how “radical care” might mobilize communities toward positive social action while resisting its potential to reinforce systemic inequity. How might the NYC DH community come together through a shared understanding of radical care and “show up” for one another\, moving us toward hopeful change? \nIn place of the traditional keynote lecture\, this year’s kickoff ceremony will feature a conversation between two members of our NYC DH community\, Madiha Zahrah Choksi\, Research and Learning Technologies Librarian at Columbia University\, and Lisa Rhody\, Deputy Director of Digital Initiatives at The Graduate Center\, City University of New York. Following the conversation\, there will be opportunities for breakout room discussions and networking sessions. \nMadiha Zahrah Choksi \n\nLisa Marie Rhody \n\nAs is tradition\, following the keynote we will be announcing the winners of our annual Graduate Student awards with presentations by the winners \nSchedule\nNoon – 1:30 \n\nIntroduction to the week\nKickoff keynote talk\n\n1:30 – 2:30 \n\nBreakout Room Discussions\nNetworking Sessions\n\n4:30 – 6:00 \n\nGraduate Student award announcement and presentations\n\n2020 Award Winners\n \n\n\n\n\nFirst Place\nHilary Wilson (CUNY Graduate Center)\, “Urban Policy from the Post-WWII Period to the Present”\n\n\nSecond Place\nDaniel Fox (CUNY Graduate Center)\, “Is there Gender Bias in the Genre Labels for Musicians on Wikipedia?”\n\n\nHonorable Mention\nKristen Hackett (CUNY Graduate Center)\, “Recalibrating Queens”\n\n\nHonorable Mention\nMaria Agustina Checa (CUNY Graduate Center)\, “Magnetismo Sónico”\n\n\nHonorable Mention\nLara Alonso (CUNY Graduate Center)\, “Corona Stories”\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here for more info about NYCDH Graduate Student Awards

SUMMARY:Reducing Your Digital Carbon Footprint
DESCRIPTION:The digital is material. Learn how you can measure and reduce your digital carbon footprint to “embody the just and liberated worlds we long for” (adrienne maree brown). \nIn this workshop\, we’ll talk about the material impacts of our digital lives. You will be given tools to measure and understand these impacts and\, through an ethics of care\, reduce and repair harm by shrinking your digital carbon footprint. We frame this work\, not through the faulty ideology of individual responsibility\, but through the Black feminist praxis of adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change\, Changing Worlds. Without absolving corporations and governments of environmental responsibility\, we simultaneously embrace “ways for humans to practice being in right relationship to our home and each other\, to practice complexity\, and grow a compelling future together through relatively simple interactions” (brown 24). Join us in this work!

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.

SUMMARY:Digital Humanities & Humanities Advocacy within the University
DESCRIPTION:As universities face increasing economic pressures\, there is a risk that\, at the very moment when we need humanistic inquiry the most in order to provide the leaders of the future with the tools they need to address this century’s most pressing problems\, many institutions will choose instead to prioritize programs deemed as more practical and profitable. In this session\, we’ll be looking to share success stories\, brainstorm ideas\, and develop messaging that can help us collaborate across institutions to advocate for from our digital humanities platforms for the humanities.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Arabic Text Processing with Python and CAMeL Tools
DESCRIPTION:This workshop introduces the basics of Arabic text processing. The workshop consists of two parts. We first introduce the basic challenges and common tasks associated with Arabic natural language processing. We then present CamelTools\, a Python Open-Source toolkit for Arabic processing that addresses the challenges and targets the tasks. The second part of the workshop will be hands-on and introduces general Python text processing utilities\, CamelTools utilities for transliteration\, normalization\, morphological analysis and disambiguation\, named-entity recognition\, dialect identification and sentiment analysis. \nNote: Participants should have access to COLAB\, with 3.0GB available on Google Drive for running interactively (needs a gmail account). Participants should have some skills in programming (Jupyter notebooks\, Python\, command line\, etc.). Arabic literacy is not necessary\, but obviously helpful.

SUMMARY:Exploring City Narratives with the Elements of Gamification
DESCRIPTION:Considering the discursive and associative nature of cultural heritage data that has been pointed out by various scholars\, the speakers will raise the questions of its relevant representation within the database on the demonstration of the work-in-progress “Que.St” mobile app. Que.St is a mapping project for representing culturally significant locations in Saint-Petersburg. First\, through their links with historic personalities associated with them and\, second\, through the mobile application which provides users with interactive novels and quests around the city. Designed as an open-source project\, the project’s mission is not only to raise awareness about culturally significant sites among the local community but also to engage them in the evaluation of historic locations and collection of relevant data.

SUMMARY:Bringing Eileen Online: Reimagining Bard Graduate Center's Eileen Gray Exhibition during the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:When Covid-19 hit New York City in March\, Bard Graduate Center was forced to close the Eileen Gray exhibition that had opened to the public just two weeks earlier. With no timeline for reopening and limited access to the gallery space\, the curatorial staff coordinated with the Director of DH/DX (Digital Humanities and Exhibitions) to devise a plan to bring the exhibition to life online. These efforts resulted in an interactive exhibition featured in the New York Times that reimagined the objects and research on display in the gallery and aimed at reaching a global audience during the pandemic.    \nEileen Gray Online Exhibition \nThis demo will explore the challenges involved in transferring the objects and spirit of a physical exhibition online. It will also reveal some of the tools BGC used to create interactive experiences for the project and outline the ways in which this endeavor provided a new path forward for future exhibitions at the institution. \nThis demo is hosted by:\nEmma Cormack: Associate Curator at Bard Graduate Center\nJesse Merandy: Director of Digital Humanities and Digital Exhibitions at Bard Graduate Center

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:Accessible Design
DESCRIPTION:Over the last thirty years\, the internet has become of vital importance to daily life\, especially in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic when nearly all interactions for non-essential workers have gone online. Nevertheless\, accessibility on the internet has often remained a low priority\, making this indispensable resource difficult to use for many people. Participants in this workshop will learn how to combat this problem by being proactive in their own design. We will discuss why accessibility is important\, best practices for designing an accessible site or visualization\, and some of the follies of “universal design.” We will conclude with some hands-on practice with accessibility checkers that participants can use for their own work.
