SUMMARY:DH Sample Platter
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Markus Wust \n\n\n\nHave you ever looked at the wide variety of courses offered at DHSI and wondered what all those technical terms mean? Or had problems deciding on which technologies might be best suited for your work or most interesting to pursue further? This course is meant to provide a broad overview of technologies that are often used (and talked about) in the Digital Humanities. While it cannot (and is not meant to) serve as a replacement for any of the technology-focused workshops at DHSI\, this course can provide a foundation to help you make informed decisions on where to direct further studies as well as get you over the initial hurdle. Each technology will be approached through a mixture of lectures and exercises. \n\n\n\nProposed topics: We will survey the following technologies and methods: How does a computer work?; Image and video editing; Audio recording and editing; XML and text encoding; Text analysis; 3D Modelling; Content Management Systems; and Geographic Information Systems. This course will have lecture\, demo\, and hands-on components. It is a good foundation for all tool- and technology-oriented DHSI offerings.

SUMMARY:Coding Fundamentals for Humanists
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Marie-Hélène Burle and Tannia Chevez \n\n\n\nThis course is intended for humanities-based researchers with no programming background whatsoever who would like to understand how programs work behind the scenes by writing some simple but useful programs of their own. Over the week the emphasis will be on understanding how computer programmers think so that participants will be able to at least participate in high-level conceptual discussions in the future with more confidence. These general concepts will be reinforced and illustrated with hands-on development of simple programs that can be used to help with text-based research and analysis right away. The language used for most of the course will be Python because of its gentle syntax and powerful extensions. Using the command-line interface and regular expressions will also be emphasized. We will also spend some time taking glimpses at what is happening in the other DHSI courses to understand how reading and writing programming code goes well beyond what we touch on in this class. \n\n\n\nThis offering is co-sponsored by ACENET.

SUMMARY:Race and Social Justice: DH Methods and Applications
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Dorothy Kim and Jordan Clapper \n\n\n\nOver the past five years we have seen a proliferation of academic job advertisements\, publications\, and discussions demonstrating ways in which race and social justice can be engaged in digital humanities scholarship. Interest by students and local communities in technological advancements through Web 2.0\, social media\, and mobile phones are permitting new forms of research and practice. #transformDH\, #DHpoco\, #femDH\, and #BlackLivesMatter have helped to challenge the all-white discourse\, often dominated by scholars in the disciplines of English and history\, that is too often found in digital humanities. What happens to students in digital humanities methods classes who bring non-traditional bodies into this world? There have been discussions how to insure that syllabi and materials for digital humanities classes are inclusive – specifically\, how an introductory DH methods class keeps race\, social justice\, and inclusivity as cornerstones in their pedagogy. The traditional divides witnessed in the tech world will only be replicated in the world of both undergraduate and graduate DH courses without attention to race\, social justice\, etc. This week-long class will show how\, through an interdisciplinary intersectional and CRT framework\, both race and social justice can be central to any DH teaching\, pedagogy\, and practice. The course will pay special attention to queer theory\, critical ethnic studies\, postcolonial theory\, WOC/Black feminism\, Indigenous studies\, and disability studies as they currently help to reshape digital humanities teaching and methods across our university/college classrooms. \n\n\n\nThis course combines lecture\, seminar\, and hands-on activities.

SUMMARY:Multimodal Rhetorics\, Digital Writing
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Denna Iammarino and Kristine Kelly \n\n\n\nA longstanding relationship exists between the digital humanities and writing studies asevidenced by journals like Kairos and Computers and Composition Online; however\, inpractice\, the multi-faceted and mutually influential relationship between digitaltechnology\, rhetorical theory\, and interdisciplinary writing practices tends to beunderestimated. By centrally orienting this relationship\, our course will exploremultimodal writing practices\, theories\, and pedagogies in digital spaces and reconsiderhow rhetorical aims\, digital platforms\, and disciplinary conventions work together togenerate complex and unconventional ways of writing and opportunities for teaching.We will consider multimodal composition across digital and analog environments\,including open-access platforms like Scalar and Twine\, and we will re-purpose everydaymaterials and software to reconsider rhetorical principles (like invention andarrangement). Adopting an interdisciplinary writing studies lens\, we will investigatequestions like:  \n\n\n\n\nHow do we persuade and engage differently in digital and multimodal spaces? \n\n\n\nHow do we understand what it means to be an author and a reader in different formats or media? \n\n\n\nHow can we adopt co-creation and collaboration as frameworks for inclusive writing practices in digital spaces?\n\n\n\n\nThis course will be hands-on and will help faculty\, graduate students\, librarians\, andinstructional technologists design assignments and activities for (digital) humanities andinterdisciplinary courses that include writing. We will collaborate on designing andscaffolding assignments\, identifying methods for assessment\, and collectivelyinvestigating the relationship between digital making tools and rhetorical practice andpedagogy. At the end of the week\, participants will have a fully designed\, scaffoldedassignment and a better understanding of ways to incorporate digital writing approachesand tools into their teaching and scholarly communication.

SUMMARY:Designing Digital Publications
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Dan Tracy and Mary Borgo Ton \n\n\n\nThis course will focus on strategies for designing\, building\, and publishing long-form scholarship in fully digital formats. As we consider commonly-used platforms like Pressbooks\, Omeka\, and Scalar\, we will discuss flexible writing workflows and best practices for developing a multimodal expressions of your research\, regardless of medium. Our discussions will be guided by an audience-centered approach to project design\, and the course will offer participants ample opportunities to reflect on their own research\, professional goals\, and audiences as they make choices about the content and layout of their own projects. This course is ideal for graduate students who are contemplating a born-digital dissertation\, scholars who are working heavily with multimedia\, and those who are curious to explore alternatives to print-based scholarship. \n\n\n\nThis course balances lectures with hands-on activities.

SUMMARY:NLP\, LLMs\, and Network Science Apps for Text and Media Analysis and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Chris Tănăsescu \n\n\n\nThe course offers an effective hands-on intro to natural language processing (NLP)\, text and media analysis\, and text and/or media corpus network visualization and analysis. It will harness the power and amplitude of large language models (LLMs) alongside other computing resources in analyzing both single/discrete datums and big data\, be they text or media or both. The skills\, affordances\, methods\, and concepts will be paced and assembled into a pipeline starting from locating\, collecting/scraping\, and (pre)processing relevant datasets\, continuing by deploying specialized libraries and developing algorithms for multi-feature data analysis\, and culminating with fine-grained holistic networked assemblages modeling and scrutinizing the datasets in depth and comparatively across corpora and media. \n\n\n\nWe will be doing coding in Python and learning how to use (and compare) (sub)word\, text\, and media modeling open-source LLMs/frameworks such as GPT (2 and later)\, (M)BERT\, GPT-NeoX\, T5\, (Meta-)Llama\, OLMo\, and a host of others in concurrence with a wide-range of relevant libraries including Scikit-learn\, NLTK\, FastText\, Stanza\, and SpaCy (displaCy)\, involving embeddings with text classifiers and/or image/video/audio vectorization\, e.g..\, Deep Learning architectures\, CLIP\, MediaPipe\, TensorFlow & Keras\, Pytorch\, LibROSA\, etc. In the context\, we will also learn how to train or fine-tune our own LLMs. \n\n\n\nAfter using BeautifulSoup\, Selenium\, and pytesseract (Python-tesseract) to automatically collect and (if needed) OCR our data\, the subsequent computational analyses will be translated to networks ranging from plain (single-layer) graphs to multiplexes to most general multilayer networks to be visualized and/or analyzed by means of NetworkX or\, in the more specific or complex cases\, in-house/indie algorithms. The translation to networks will also involve correlations between various forms of vectorization applied to text (and/as inter)media as coexistent in or combined into modeling the data. \n\n\n\nOn the fifth day (Friday\, June 6th)\, everybody will have the opportunity to participate in the #GraphPoem event\, an intermedia social computing and data-commoning performance drawing on the algorithms\, methods\, and programming presented or developed in class. \n\n\n\nThe knowledge and skills acquired—alongside our in-class applications—will be useful in education\, research\, and analytical-creative work involving NLP\, automated text and (mono and multilingual) corpus analysis\, network science (or graph theory) applications\, inter/trans-disciplinary text (and) media studies\, computational literary studies/analysis/criticism\, computational linguistics\, multimodal and intermedia(lity) studies and creativity\, HCI creative writing and experimental/intersemiotic/literary translation\, digital editions\, digital poetry/e-lit/digital art\, social (media/network) analysis\, complexity studies in/and social science\, and applications in the philosophy of mathematics. \n\n\n\nThis is a hands-on course with some lecture components.

SUMMARY:Creating Digital Collections with Minimal Infrastructure: Hands On With CollectionBuilder for
DESCRIPTION:Teaching and ExhibitsOlivia Wikle\, Evan Williamson\, Devin Becker \n\n\n\nThis course introduces fundamental web and DH skills using CollectionBuilder\, an open source framework for building digital collection and exhibit websites driven by metadata and hosted on a lightweight infrastructure. The high cost and IT requirements of digital collection platforms are often a barrier to creating new collections for sharing or teaching humanities research. CollectionBuilder is optimized for non-developers and simple hosting solutions\, allowing researchers to take greater ownership over their digital projects and lowering barriers to customization. Scholars in this course will learn CollectionBuilder by engaging in a scaffolded approach with hands-on experience in digital library foundations such as accessibility\, metadata creation\, and web development. Building on these skills\, students will learn the basics of working with plain text files\, CSV data\, Markdown\, Jekyll\, Git\, GitHub\, and GitHub Pages in order to create and customize their very own digital collection. By the end of this course\, students will have gained the knowledge and independence necessary to implement CollectionBuilder in contexts that include creating and disseminating research collections and custom digital exhibits\, or teaching digital libraries in the classroom. They will also have built their own digital exhibit\, such as those built by our previous DHSI classes in 2023 and 2024. \n\n\n\nNo programming experience is necessary\, although you should have a strong interest to learn! Participants are asked to bring their own computers. All software used in the course is free\, open source\, and cross platform and will be installed during class time.

SUMMARY:Agile Project Management for Humanities Research
DESCRIPTION:Led by: James Smith \n\n\n\nAgile project management is about negotiating the completion of a project from beginning to end while remaining flexible. Being patient and delaying decisions until you have to make them\, gathering as much information as you can in the meantime\, and then taking action with the information you have\, always keeping alternatives in mind in case your first plan of action doesn’t pan out. Just as a fighter shifts from foot to foot to be ready to counter a punch\, the agile project manager constantly considers shifts to accommodate any changes in the project’s environment. But it’s about more than just negotiating within the rules. It’s about changing the rules of the game to better ensure a successful project. \n\n\n\nThis course combines lecture\, discussion\, and hands-on activities.

SUMMARY:DH for Librarians
DESCRIPTION:Led by: John Russell and Rachel Hogan \n\n\n\nThis course will focus on the processes and methods of digital humanities and how they intersect with librarianship practice. We will start by considering big picture questions: how have librarians approached “doing DH” and “supporting DH” in libraries\, what has the practice of DH librarianship been\, and what could the future of DH in libraries be? From there\, we will survey different aspects of DH in librarianship in more detail\, including assessment and strategic planning\, reference and consultation\, instruction\, project management\, and collaborative partnerships. Along the way\, we will explore key resources\, methods\, and tools\, as well as threshold concepts\, data literacy\, and relationships to other parts of academic libraries. \n\n\n\nThis course combines lecture\, seminar\, and hands-on activities.

SUMMARY:Unveiling the Past: Advancing Knowledge of the Humanities and Special Collections through Multispectral Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Juilee Decker and David Messinger \n\n\n\nIn the past\, scholars applied lemon juice and a heat source when uncovering hidden features of historical documents (think: “National Treasure”). We now know that this method damaged artifacts unnecessarily. Interest in this field has led to newer\, safer practices involving cameras\, sensors\, and LED panels. A low-cost\, low barrier-to-entry Multispectral Imaging System for Historical Artifacts (MISHA) funded by NEH and developed by the course instructors and their interdisciplinary lab puts image capture and processing tools\, as well as the system itself\, within the reach of non-scientists. By participating in this week-long course\, participants will learn a brief history of cultural heritage imaging\, with an emphasis on multispectral imaging; will try their hand at capturing images and processing them; will learn of use cases where MISHA and other imaging systems have been able to illuminate content and context of manuscripts\, sheet\, leaf\, and folia created from the medieval to the modern; and will use the MISHA system and to develop new digital humanities skills that pertain to discoverability\, access\, preservation\, and the production of new knowledge. The intended audience is humanities scholars interested in text recovery\, codicology\, and imaging practices as a new and accessible DH method. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the week\, participants will leave with knowledge of cultural heritage imaging’s history and theories\, particularly multispectral imaging; experience using a MISHA system for image capture; familiarity with image processing methods to yield new knowledge (focusing on six sample data sets featuring collections from the medieval to the modern); and strategies of how to incorporate digital tools within their research\, scholarship\, and/or pedagogy. \n\n\n\nThe course combines lecture\, seminar\, and hands-on activities working with sheet\, leaf\, and folia from an “educational use” collection to demonstrate capacity of multispectral imaging as a digital humanities tool for access\, discovery\, interpretation\, and research.

SUMMARY:Writing Nonfiction in the Company of Artificial Intelligences
DESCRIPTION:Led by: William J. Turkel \n\n\n\nThis course is a hands-on introduction to using LLM technology (large language models like ChatGPT or Gemini) to assist with the practice of writing nonfiction. Popular discussions of this technology have focused on the unconstrained models’ tendencies to hallucinate\, their inability to cite or return verifiable sources of information\, and their potential misuse for misinformation and disinformation. When you are working with these models at a more technical level\, however\, you learn that their capabilities are changing every few weeks. As current problems are solved new opportunities and challenges arise. This course teaches ways to constrain and even make use of hallucination\, to draw information and make inferences from verifiable structured data\, and to rigorously cite sources. The workflows that you will learn are firmly grounded in the tools and techniques of the digital humanities: text encoding\, the semantic web\, linked open data\, bibliography\, databases\, web APIs\, text analysis\, and text mining. There are two key differences\, however. Rather than working with off-the-shelf tools or building them from the ground up\, generative AI allows us to work from the top down. We also make extensive use of the models’ ability to co-author code as well as prose. \n\n\n\nThis course will require a minimal additional fee for software.

SUMMARY:Outils numériques et études littéraires: vers de nouvelles perspectives critiques 
DESCRIPTION:Led by: David Wrisley and Parham Aledavood \n\n\n\nCe cours propose un aperçu des méthodes numériques appliquées aux études littéraires. Il s’adresse aux débutant·e·s intéressé·e·s par le potentiel du numérique dans leurs recherches et souhaitant découvrir une diversité de techniques. Nous explorerons des exemples novateurs de recherches en études littéraires\, en abordant les méthodes et la gestion des données qui les rendent possibles. Une approche critique guidera l’introduction de plusieurs méthodes\, telles que l’analyse automatisée des textes\, la stylométrie\, la cartographie numérique et l’analyse computationnelle d’images. À l’issue de ce parcours\, divisé entre ateliers pratiques et discussions théoriques\, les participant·e·s auront une meilleure compréhension des méthodes computationnelles appliquées à une variété de perspectives critiques. Il sera possible ensuite d’approfondir leur expertise de manière autonome ou en participant à d’autres formations spécialisées du DHSI. \n\n\n\nCe cours sera enseigné en français\, avec des lectures et des exemples tirés de différentes langues\, y compris l’anglais.
