SUMMARY:Working with Data: From Formats to Ethics
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers a space for participants to develop their data literacies and experiment with the role of humanistic inquiry in data work\, and vice versa. We’ll start with a primer on data types\, formats\, and modeling\, bringing into focus information genres that we encounter every day but often take for granted (like tables and lists). Equipped with the basics of data structures\, we’ll spend the second half of our session cultivating care-informed data practices. We’ll explore what this year’s theme — “Care and Repair” — means for how we “do” data work\, including humanities data management and data-driven research and pedagogy. Participants will learn about the affordances and critiques of “restorative” data approaches that seek to “fill” gaps caused by the systematic omission and erasure of marginalized peoples. We’ll discuss frameworks and strategies that have emerged from data feminism\, digital justice\, and critical data studies in order to think intentionally about the role of data in our scholarship and teaching. This workshop is designed for humanities scholars and students who are interested in pursuing data-driven work and who want to develop critical and ethical — rather than purely instrumental — data practices\, though folks from all disciplines are welcome!

SUMMARY:Critical Data Methods: Theory & Praxis
DESCRIPTION:Whether in the classroom or archive\, humanities scholars and students often encounter data methods as means to an end. Processes like data modeling\, analysis\, and visualization — sometimes represented by particular applications or technologies — populate the proverbial DH toolbox\, equipping practitioners to pursue data-driven research and project-based learning curricula. But\, while these data-oriented skills and tools frequently facilitate incredible research and classroom practice\, they aren’t always accompanied by a robust critical framework that centers historical\, ethical\, and justice-oriented concerns. \nIn this workshop\, we will approach basic concepts in data (including data taxonomies and applications) from a critical data studies perspective. Rather than taking a tool- or software-oriented approach\, we will collaborate on ways to “do” and teach data that are informed by feminist\, critical race\, and indigenous theories of information. Keeping in mind this year’s theme — “Histories and Representations of Communities Across the Five Boroughs” — we will engage with local archival materials and other humanities content in order to develop data praxes that are situated and self-reflective. \nParticipants can expect to: \n\nbecome familiar with types of data\, including structured and unstructured data\nthink critically about ways to model their research or teaching data\nbegin to explore key theorists and concepts in critical data studies\, including data feminism\nparticipate in an exercise that enacts critical data pedagogy by bringing humanities methods to data modeling\nsituate their own use of data within historical and epistemological matrices\ncollaborate on a shared document featuring critical data resources\n\nThis workshop is designed for humanities scholars and students who are interested in pursuing data-driven work and who want to develop critical — rather than purely instrumental — data practices. Instructors and researchers who already work extensively with data are also welcome\, regardless of discipline! \nEquipment Requirements: Laptop recommended (Chromebooks OK) \n

SUMMARY:Data Epistemologies: Intro to Data Taxonomies
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, humanities scholars are turning to data as a key element of both humanities research and teaching: as DH methods become more prevalent and accessible\, students and researchers begin to seek out\, digitize\, or generate data sets such as cartographic data for mapping\, unstructured textual data for distant reading and computational processing\, or controlled vocabularies for XML/TEI markup. \nBut it’s not always clear what forms our humanities data can and should take\, or how these structures might affect the results of our work. In this session\, participants will receive a primer in data formats and uses\, including the differences between structured\, semi-structured\, and unstructured data and the file formats they encompass. We will work together to think critically about the implications of data organization (including for ethics and accessibility) and about how data-driven projects can serve as sites of epistemological critique\, pedagogy\, and self-reflection in our work and the work of those we teach. \nThis workshop is meant primarily for humanities instructors or students who are interested in the *idea* of data-driven projects\, either as pedagogical tools or components of their own research\, but don’t feel they have the basic familiarity with data taxonomies necessary to make informed\, intentional decisions. While we won’t linger on any one particular tool or file format (except by popular demand)\, participants are encouraged to bring a laptop (Chromebooks OK) to explore some data files up close and tinker with structures. Emphasis will be on data drawn from sources pertaining to history and literature\, but I’m happy to take requests by email in advance of our meeting! \nLaptop computer recommended but not required.
