SUMMARY:Abducted by Aliens? 🛸 Building Sustainable File\, Folder & Documentation Workflows
DESCRIPTION:You arrive at work to see your project’s primary investigator/research coordinator/key graduate student disappearing into a UFO’s buzzing blue beam; with all their project knowledge and disconnected laptop gone forever…or at least til the aliens return them home. While an alien abduction is unlikely to strike your research team\, life happens: research coordinators get hired into roles at another university\, graduate students return home\, PIs go on research leave or get sick unexpectedly and need to step back. Clearly writing out research processes\, clear file and folder workflows\, organized data storage systems\, and more are excellent research practices to make sure everyone is on the same page and your research project is resilient to change. It can also help keep qualitative coding and variables or units of measurement in quantitative projects consistent across multiple researchers. Even if you’re going solo as a graduate student\, documenting your data and keeping a good research log will help you unpack what you did when it comes time to write up your project. \n\n\n\nNo prior knowledge is required! This session is designed for researchers who want to think through their documentation and workflows; from graduate students working alone to tenured faculty with a huge research team. Undergraduate students interested in future research might also find it interesting. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nCreate quality file names from bad ones\n\n\n\nDesign folder structures that make sense for their project\n\n\n\nIdentify types of documentation and locate templates and resources to help them create their own\n\n\n\nTransfer knowledge of storage workflows into their own projects\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Danica Evering and Isaac Pratt

SUMMARY:Data Feminism: Power\, Inequality\, and Social Change
DESCRIPTION:Who gets counted\, who gets excluded\, and who benefits from the stories data tells? \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will be introduced to Data Feminism\, which Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein describe as « a way of thinking about data\, both their uses and their limits\, that is informed by direct experience\, by a commitment to action\, and by intersectional feminist thought » (2020). Together\, we will explore how data practices can reproduce inequalities related to gender\, race\, sexuality\, disability\, class\, age\, geography\, and other intersecting systems of power\, as well as how data can be used to make those inequities visible\, challenge unequal distributions of power\, and support social change. Tying an understanding of inequality to a commitment to action\, we will introduce data practices that can help make equality a reality\, including Mel Mikhail’s proposals for data management in feminist research projects. Through an introduction to the principles of Data Feminism\, participants will reflect on how these ideas can inform their own research\, teaching\, community engagement\, and advocacy efforts. \n\n\n\nNew to Data Feminism? No problem! This workshop is designed for anyone interested in learning how data can be used to challenge inequities and support social change. Researchers\, educators\, students\, librarians\, staff\, and community members are all welcome. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe key principles of Data Feminism.\n\n\n\nExplain how systems of power shape data collection\, interpretation\, and use.\n\n\n\nIdentify opportunities to use data to amplify marginalized perspectives and advance social change.\n\n\n\nReflect on their own data types and what kinds of biases and ideological beliefs inform them.\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Danica Evering and Lauren McLean

SUMMARY:Field Recording: Capturing Audio for Podcasting\, Qualitative Research\, Environmental Science\, Art\, Music\, and More!
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to get outside for your interviews and focus groups\, ecological study\, or creative practice? While some interviews are best held indoors in a studio like those at Lyons New Media Centre\, there are a million reason to leave the recording studio behind. This can include capturing natural or ambient sounds\, making a podcast richer with audio from daily life\, or going to an interview subject’s home turf so they feel a bit more comfortable. This 3-hour intensive will give you hands-on experience with field recording for a range of purposes. \n\n\n\nA trifecta of experts will boost your technical and creative decision-making: \n\n\n\n\nSam Hansen brings experience field recording for their podcast productions\, working with the BBC\, NPR\, CBC on tape syncs\, and setting up mics outside the studio.\n\n\n\nLyons’ own Carlie King will introduce you to their field recording equipment kits (with H6 and H4 zoom recorders) and share details on microphone recording patterns.\n\n\n\nDanica Evering will give practical overview of approaches to recording with future editing and artistic choices in mind.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is designed for absolute beginners who have no experience with field recording but we also welcome audio enthusiasts who want to find community. We will intentionally keep this very interdisciplinary to reach anyone looking to record audio: from Health Sciences researchers recording interviews in busy clinical settings to ecologists and biologists looking to study bioacoustics of bird song to iArts (Integrated Arts) undergrads working on a multimedia project. Come record with us! \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nRecord intentional audio outdoors and in unconventional indoor environments.\n\n\n\nSelect appropriate microphone and recording devices for their desired use case\, as well as windscreens and other peripherals\n\n\n\nLocate campus resources for field recording\n\n\n\nPrepare to make creative decisions with field recordings\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Carlie King\, Danica Evering and Sam Hansen

SUMMARY:Data Management Plan Bootcamp (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Let us be your body double with this in-person bootcamp! Data Management Plans (DMPs) are both incredibly helpful research tools and increasingly required for grants but it can hard to know how to complete a Data Management Plan if it’s your first time. This session is carefully timed for researchers completing a CFI or Tri-Agency grant this fall. If you’re in the process of creating a DMP\, either for a grant application or for your own research\, join RDM Services for this afternoon session. The RDM services team will provide tailored guidance as you write your plan on site\, and we’ll have some light snacks and refreshments to keep you going. Come away with a clear path forward or even a finished DMP! \n\n\n\nThis participatory session is especially relevant for researchers at all levels in the beginning stages of a research project or streamlining best practices for their research team. Come on your own\, send your research staff\, or bring your whole research group. Let us know if you’re joining as a research team – we’ll make sure you get a table to work together at! \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the 5 key components of a data management plan (DMP).\n\n\n\nCompare strong and weak responses in each section of a DMP.\n\n\n\nDevelop a tailored outline\, or potentially a complete draft\, of their own DMP!\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Danica Evering and Isaac Pratt

SUMMARY:Qualitative Data Bootcamp: Clean Collection\, De-identification\, and Analysis Basics
DESCRIPTION:Want some focused skill development time for your qualitative practice? Get ready to take care of and analyze qualitative research data: interview transcripts\, surveys oral histories\, focus groups\, field notes\, artistic expression\, photovoice and more. Qualitative methods let us understand lived experiences and motivations\, see a research question from different standpoints\, and highlight contexts. \n\n\n\nThis bootcamp is for those trying to get a qualitative research project off the ground who would like support on different aspects across the research lifecycle. Starting with Data Management Planning\, we will discuss data management during collection\, qualitative data analysis fundamentals such as conducting the analysis\, and end with effective ways of sharing data and communicating results. These tangible actions will work alongside more advanced questions about ethics and uncertainty. \n\n\n\nWe’ll practice hands-on with de-identification and open-source tools such as QualCoder for qualitative data analysis and introduce some techniques that can be used. Participants are not expected to have any prior knowledge of these tools when coming into the workshop. There will be both case studies as well as opportunities to work on your project and receive feedback in the moment. \n\n\n\nThis session is great for qualitative researchers across all faculties\, especially those working in Health Sciences\, Social Sciences\, and the Humanities. Whether you’re new to qualitative methods or looking to deepen your approach\, you’ll find practical tools and insights to support your work. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe and contrast different qualitative data methodologies and be able to pick the most appropriate one for their project\n\n\n\nPrepare to record quality audio and develop a workflow for mixed methods data\n\n\n\nApply some basic qualitative data analysis techniques using Taguette\n\n\n\nExperiment with de-identification\, recording\, and transcription\n\n\n\nLocate resources for data deposit and sharing of qualitative data and compare and contrast benefits and challenges\n\n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Danica Evering and Isaac Pratt
