SUMMARY:Approaching Media Archaeology from a Digital Humanities Perspective: Introduction\, Tools\, and Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 14th-17th May 2024 \n\n\n\nThis workshop enables participants to examine the ways in which media archeology works as an effective research methodology for Digital Humanities (DH) scholarship. Extending from DH scholars such as Alan Liu (2012; 2013) and Matthew Kirschenbaum (2013)\, this course examines how media archeology is crucial to reckoning with the historical and ongoing targeting of marginalized and vulnerable individuals and populations\, in particular those who are racialized and gendered\, and sourcing what Ezikiel Dixon-Roman calls “hauntings” (2017) of technical progress\, funding\, data practices and other historical trajectories within contemporary media technologies.  \n\n\n\nAs outlined by Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka\, media archaeology is cross-disciplinary and nomadic\, and its nimbleness and tolerance for multi-pronged analysis allow for a greater understanding of digital media’s “interactivity\, navigability\, and digital representation and transmission” (3; 2012). Media archeologies thus enable DH scholars to engage in inter-/cross-disciplinary conversations with scholars in science and technology studies\, philosophy of science\, DH and other disciplines. This course is intended for a wide audience interested in learning about media archeology as a digital humanities method to approach questions of knowledge and power. We welcome undergraduates\, graduate students\, and faculty to explore techniques of analyses that integrate digital humanities tools with historical research. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Arun Jacob and Paula Sanchez Nuñez de Villavicencio

SUMMARY:Making Connections: The Semantic Web for Humanities Scholars
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 14th-17th May 2024 \n\n\n\nThis modular workshop offers both a conceptual overview of Linked Open Data (LOD)\, a set of standards and practices that allow data to contribute to the Semantic Web\, and a series of modules that will introduce participants to working with LOD\, from workflows for data cleaning\, creation\, and publication to interacting with LOD through various interfaces for browsing\, querying\, and visualization. An initial introduction will cover how LOD works in theory and practice\, and provide an overview of various projects and interactive tools. This introduction will be followed by modular sessions focused on various aspects of LOD creation and use\, many featuring tools and workflows supported or hosted by the Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship. The modular sessions will allow participants to focus on areas of interest or need\, including ones related specifically to creating LOD from structured data (spreadsheets/databases)\, XML including TEI\, and natural language\, led by members of the LINCS team. \n\n\n\nThose desiring a broad introduction to LOD and the Semantic Web\, as well as those wishing to work with LINCS tools or preparing data for publication through LINCS\, will benefit from this workshop. Sample data will be provided for those without their own datasets. If you plan to bring your own data\, please be in touch with instructors in advance. Attention will be given throughout to scholarly perspectives on Linked Open Data and the challenges and opportunities it poses for humanities scholars as far as modeling\, context\, nuance\, and honouring difference and specificity are concerned.   \n\n\n\nTopics include: Introduction to LOD fundamentals\, projects\, and tools; ontologies and vocabularies; data preparation\, cleanup\, and reconciliation; getting going with the SPARQL query language; exploring\, refining\, and creating data in ResearchSpace; exporting LOD to other tools; structured data conversion with X3ML; from TEI to LOD with XTriples and the LEAF-Writer XML editor; and how LINCS can create LOD from content in the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory and other instances of LEAF (The Linked Editing Academic Environment). \n\n\n\nInstructors: Members of the LINCS Team

SUMMARY:Text Analysis with Computation and Large Language Models 
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 14th-17th May 2024 \n\n\n\nThis workshop will introduce students to the possibilities of analyzing text using computationally focused methods. This includes classic computational text analysis such as topic modelling\, sentiment analysis\, and word embedding. All of this and more available to everyone via open-source Python Libraries. However what is different is that this class will also delve into a new emergent area: analysis using large language models (LLM). Much is being said presently about LLMs and for better or for worse they are becoming a part of daily life for answering questions and attempting to automate certain tasks. What is novel is a research focused possibility to use LLM for something known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). With RAG an LLM is pre-seeded with a corpus of documents that it will refer to when generating responses. It is possible then to make natural language inquiries against the corpus in order to generate insights. There are limitations to this however as LLMs are notorious for drifting from the truth\, but it is worth exploring the capabilities of such systems. \n\n\n\nThis class will provide learners an opportunity to walk through a complete analysis of a dataset using all of these computational methods to see the full gamut of what is possible. As a concluding activity participants will be encouraged to scaffold their own dataset into this developed framework to see what research insights they can produce. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Tim Ribaric and John Fink

SUMMARY:Simple 3D Animation for Digital Humanities 
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 14th-17th May 2024 \n\n\n\nOne of the most engaging ways to represent multidimensional phenomena — from the tiniest handheld objects to the largest edifices of the built environment and beyond — is through 3D animation. In this course\, we will find 3D humanities data and put them in 3D motion to explain humanities concepts. We will focus on the process\, workflow\, navigation\, basic coding\, sensitivity\, and problem-solving skills that are valuable for telling many kinds of stories in many kinds of humanities contexts.  \n\n\n\nUpon successful completion of this course\, students will be able to: Navigate a virtual 3D CAD (computer-aided design) interface\, model and animate 3D geometry\, lights\, cameras\, and surfaces\, acquire and prepare real-world data to build 3D environments\, discuss the conceptual and spatiotemporal limits of using 3D data\, and develop awareness for the cultural considerations and biases that underlie 3D tools and productions. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Ar Ducao

SUMMARY:A Safer Internet for All: Self-Care and Community Care in Online Spaces 
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 14th-17th May \n\n\n\nWhat is digital violence? How do our online communities replicate and amplify the complex racialized\, gendered\, and intersectional power dynamics of our offline communities? What are strategies for prevention and response? Digital violence has intensified since the beginning of the global pandemic. This array of harmful behavior includes (but isn’t limited to) sharing intimate images without consent; doxing; hijacking online events; impersonation; and cyberstalking. Digital violence impacts all communities\, but new adults most commonly experience online abuse. This course will focus on you and your online communities. You will identify what online privacy protection is relevant and necessary to you. Your culminating project will then ask you to engage in the practice of visionary fiction to envision your ideal online community. What practices of care make an online community safe and inviting for people who are most vulnerable when participating? Our time together will inspire\, empower\, and energize us to create and participate in online communities characterized by strong cultures of consent and liberated participation in online spaces. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Chelcie Juliet Rowell
