SUMMARY:Visions of Generative AI: Historical and ethical dimensions of visual media literacy in the era of AI
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 8 2025 \n\n\n\nWhether you regularly engage with visual generative AI or are just dipping your toe into these waters\, this workshop focuses on recognizing sources of image biases and its impacts and implications as artificial images become increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous. Applying a combined historical and ethics lens\, workshop participants will have the opportunity to generate and analyze artificial images as a means of unpacking continuity and changes in visual practices and norms. The workshop supports the development of critical reflection skills and tools for creating and ‘reading’ images that avoid potential pitfalls of (re)producing harmful clichés and to support identification of mis/disinformation. The workshop has relevance for academic integrity along with navigating our daily visual landscape\, which in turn has implications for democracy\, civic engagement\, and human relationships. At a time when visual evidence/truth\, dis/misinformation and academic integrity are at stake\, there is no time like the present to gain a solid foundation on visual literacy. \n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify opportunities\, pitfalls and potential harms of visual generative AI to make informed decisions on its use in educational and every-day life settings by exploring recent examples.\n\n\n\nUnpack the role of audience engagement with visual images in the era of AI to critically analyse the impacts of and to support responsible use of this new technology.\n\n\n\nTrace biases and ethically problematic visual stereotypes present in AI-generated images through comparison and critical reflection of historical cases\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is great for students\, educators\, researchers\, and professionals interested in developing critical visual literacy skills to responsibly engage with AI-generated images in academic\, creative\, or everyday contexts! \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\nFacilitator Bio:  \n\n\n\nDr. Sonya de Laat is the Academic Program Advisor and Curriculum Coordinator in the School of Global Health and Social Medicine\, and a Research Associate with the Department of Health Research Methods\, Evidence\, and Impact at McMaster University. With degrees in Anthropology and Media Studies\, Dr. de Laat’s work has focused on historical and ethical dimensions of humanitarian visual culture and action. Currently\, her focus is on challenging the promises/hopes of photorealistic generative AI and sharing diverse visual histories as a corrective intervention. Her postdoctoral work focused on moral and practical dimensions of palliative care in refugee camps drawing attention to small interventions having big impacts\, and the importance of co-design and partnered research. Dr. de Laat is an active member of the Humanitarian Health Ethics research group\, and the Canadian Network on Humanitarian History. Representative publications include\, “Assembling a global health image: Ethical and pragmatic tensions through the lenses of photographers” (PLOS Glob Public Health 2024)\, “A case analysis of partnered research on palliative care for refugees in Jordan and Rwanda” (Confl Health 2021)\, and “The Camera and the Red Cross: ‘Lamentable pictures’ and Conflict Photography Bring into Focus an International Movement\, 1855-1865” (IRRC 2021). \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Sherman Centre’s certificate program. For more information\, visit scds.ca/certificate-program. It is also eligible for the Canadian Certificate for Digital Humanities.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Research - tending to a garden of information.
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 8 2025 \n\n\n\nPresenter: Cora Coady \n\n\n\nResearching Indigenous topics is undeniably complex. Indigenous knowledges are deeply rooted in community but identifying authentic Indigenous voices in academia among numerous colonial narratives can be a daunting task. Processing this material can take an emotional toll. By learning how to navigate these resources thoughtfully\, you can respectfully and ethically incorporate Indigenous knowledge into your assignments and research.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Git and GitHub:    Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 8 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Kendra Oudyk \n\n\n\nLearn the basics of using Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Git is widely used version control software that tracks changes to a group of files\, referred to as a repository. GitHub is a popular website for hosting and sharing Git repositories\, making it easier to collaborate and share your work. Together\, Git and GitHub provide a platform that is increasingly used for collaboration in research and academic environments. In this beginner workshop participants will learn key concepts\, create their own Git repository\, and publish to GitHub. No previous experience with Git is required. Familiarity with the command line interface will be helpful but is not necessary. This is part 2 of a two-part introductory workshop. \n\n\n\nPre-workshop setup \n\n\n\nPlease complete the pre-workshop setup to install the Bash shell and Git. If you don’t already have one\, create a free GitHub account before the workshop.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop is part of the Core Skills series.
