SUMMARY:Digital Misogynoir and Harm Reduction Tactics
DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 12th to May 15th\, 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Dr. KáLyn Coghill \n\n\n\nDescription:  \n\n\n\nThis course engages in a critical examination of the distinctive challenges encountered by Black women within the digital sphere\, attributed to the convergence of misogyny and anti-Black racism\, collectively referred to as misogynoir. Participants will investigate the historical context\, manifestations\, and repercussions of misogynoir in online settings. Through comprehensive case studies\, interactive discussions\, and contemporary examples\, students will attain a nuanced understanding of the experiences of Black women in digital spaces\, as well as how online platforms can serve to both perpetuate and contest misogynoir. This i aims to cultivate awareness\, encourage critical thinking\, and stimulate discourse regarding equity and inclusion in the digital era. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, the course scrutinizes the development and impact of digital activism\, concentrating on the manner in which social media platforms empower grassroots movements that advocate for gender\, sexuality\, and racial equality. Students will evaluate how online platforms challenge oppressive systems\, amplify marginalized voices\, and foster community involvement. By analyzing cases such as #MeToo\, #BlackLivesMatter\, and #SayHerName\, the course delves into the intersections of race\, gender\, and sexuality within the context of online advocacy. Furthermore\, it assesses the efficacy and limitations of hashtag activism in effecting social change. Students will explore concepts such as digital Black feminism\, intersectionality\, and media literacy while refining their critical thinking and ethical engagement capabilities. \n\n\n\nIntended Audience: \n\n\n\nDigital humanities scholars\, digital librarians\, social scientists\, activists\, organizers and people interested in trust and safety online and digital resistance.

SUMMARY:Intro to Minimal Web Design with Jekyll
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Chelsea Miya and Ryan Chartier \n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, you will learn how to build lightweight static websites using the Jekyll static site generator. We will walk through the theory and practice of minimal computing\, a “needs based” back to basics approach to web design using free\, open-source tools (Risam and Gil 2022\, Sayers 2016). \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, there has been growing interest within the digital humanities in exploring sustainable ways to publish and share research online. In comparison to Content Management System – platforms for creating and editing websites such as WordPress and Drupal – static websites are more secure\, require little to no maintenance\, and far less computing power to sustain. While platforms make it notoriously difficult for users to export their data\, static sites are also easy to archive and store offline. For these reasons\, static site generators can be a more sustainable and low-cost alternative. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we will cover: \n\n\n\n\nMinimal computing as critical praxis\n\n\n\nInstalling Jekyll\n\n\n\nUsing Collections Builder\, a Jekyll-based add-on\, to create a digital collection; as well as best practices for archival metadata.\n\n\n\nCustomizing the layout and design using CSS stylesheets\n\n\n\nCreating and editing content with Markdown\n\n\n\nExperimenting with more sophisticated layouts using Liquid templates\n\n\n\nDeploying the site to GitHub Pages\n\n\n\nOther options for static site generators\, such as Pelican and Astro\, and how to choose between them\n\n\n\n\nOver the course of the workshop\, participants will work on creating a digital collections website\, or another website of choice such as a: research exhibit\, event page\, online cv\, personal blog\, online journal or zine\, or wiki. At the end of the week\, you will have the chance to share your projects with the group and get feedback. \n\n\n\nExperience with HTML\, CSS\, and the basics of using the command line is recommended but not required. \n\n\n\nIntended Audience: \n\n\n\nResearchers\, students\, and staff who are interested in building websites. \n\n\n\nNo prior web development experience is necessary\, but some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is helpful.

DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 12th to May 15th\, 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: James Cummings and Diane Jakacki \n\n\n\nThis workshop is an intensive introduction taught in a way that both those who are absolute beginners to digital markup and the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) or also those with a little bit of experience (but needing a refresher) will be able to complete it. No previous experience with XML or TEI markup is assumed\, and introductions to both of these will be provided as part of the workshop. The TEI Guidelines are the de facto standard for recording our interpretation of historical texts for research through digital markup. Although the very general TEI Guidelines are used for many purposes\, this workshop will be customised to the interests of the participants attending through a pre-workshop questionnaire\, but starts with the assumption that you are likely interested in creating digital editions of historical texts. This workshop will explain the XML (Extensible Markup Language) format and the vocabulary of the TEI through both lectures and practical hands-on exercises completed by participants. The workshop will provide a basic level of introduction to those modules of the TEI which are most popular and useful to participants. It will also train participants to be able to customise the TEI framework for their own projects. Participants do not need to provide their own materials as the exercises will use pre-prepared texts\, however you will be encouraged to consider how you might apply what you have learned to your own materials. Participants will be sent instructions to install the Oxygen XML Editor (with a free trial licence) on their own laptops\, though other software options (such as LEAF-Writer) will be briefly demonstrated as part of the workshop.  \n\n\n\nDescription:  \n\n\n\nIntended Audience: \n\n\n\nBeginners\, but those with some very limited TEI experience who want a refresher could also benefit.

SUMMARY:Approaching Media Archaeology from a Digital Humanities Perspective: Introduction\, Tools\, and Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 12th to May 15th\, 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructors: Arun Jacob and Paula Sanchez Nuñez de Villavicencio \n\n\n\nDescription: This workshop enables participants to examine the ways in which media archeology works as an effective research methodology for Digital Humanities (DH) scholarship\, as its simultaneous focus on larger media infrastructures\, such as globalized corporate entities networking with nation-states\, alongside the detailed histories and bureaucratic materials generated by specific media technologies and their data structures\, make visible and legible the production and circulation of power within contemporary networks of media technologies. 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). This flexibility and simultaneous attention to the invisible and visible\, material and immaterial\, make it well suited to understanding the particular data-driven algorithmic processes that define contemporary digital media and DH scholarship. The genealogies of power revealed through media archeologies\, resulting from rival technologies vying for control\, trace how the hegemon came to be\, and ascend to the pole position of the socio-technical apparatus (Monea and Packer 2016). Media archeologies understood thus enables DH scholars to engage in inter-/cross-disciplinary conversations with scholars in science and technology studies\, philosophy of science\, DH and other disciplines.  \n\n\n\nIntended Audience: \n\n\n\nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Making: A Feminist Praxis
DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 12th to May 15th\, 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructors: Kim Martin and Kiera Obbard \n\n\n\nDescription:  \n\n\n\nThis course will introduce participants to a feminist praxis of making through a combination of theory and praxis. Over four days\, participants will read and discuss a variety of texts related to feminist making\, across topic areas including weaving\, poetry film\, zine making\, and cross-stitching\, and then apply these learnings with hands-on maker activities. In each activity\, the digital will be represented in either the mode of creation (i.e.\, via a digital platform)\, or in the final output. Through this approach\, participants will learn to apply creative analytic practices to their engagement with feminism\, data\, and the digital. This course will also discuss how these approaches can be implemented into pedagogy. At the end of the workshop\, participants will have a collection of artistic objects (some digital\, some material) and\, to draw on Ahmed’s feminist toolkit\, a new feminist maker toolkit of both theory and praxis for using creative outputs for speaking on feminist issues\, raising dissent\, and surviving together in challenging times. \n\n\n\nIntended Audience: \n\n\n\nThe intended audience are creative practitioners\, faculty\, students\, or anyone wanting to learn to implement their creative practice into research and pedagogy. Participants of any skill level can attend the workshop.

SUMMARY:Data Deposit Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Date: 20 May 2025 \n\n\n\nData deposit and data sharing are increasingly recognized as best practice to support open research\, reproducibility\, research integrity\, collaboration\, and more. Disciplines\, funders\, and journals are increasingly requiring researchers to share or deposit data. But how do you get your dataset ready for sharing? What’s the best repository to share it in? If you have a dataset that’s ready for deposit or that you’d like to get deposit ready\, join RDM Services for this workshop. \n\n\n\nBy the end of this 3-hour session\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n• Identify a target data repository \n\n\n\n• Organize and create documentation for your dataset\, \n\n\n\n• Define your metadata\, and \n\n\n\n• (Potentially) begin the deposit process. \n\n\n\nIf you have a dataset ready to submit\, bring it along! No dataset\, no problems–we have a sample dataset you can use to go through the process and learn how to deposit data. \n\n\n\nWith light snacks and refreshments to sustain you and specialists on-hand to answer any questions\, you’ll end this session with ready-to-submit data…or submitted or even published data! Graduate Students who have finished their thesis work are encouraged to attend! \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes: Outline documentation and metadata best practices and identify the appropriate repository for their dataset. Develop a README file that thoroughly describes the dataset being deposited. Organize datasets in preperation for data deposit\, including metadata entry. \n\n\n\nDetails: This workshop will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Bio:  \n\n\n\nIsaac Pratt (he/him) is a research scientist by training and has a PhD in Anatomy & Cell Biology.

SUMMARY:Archives in Action
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 26 2025 \n\n\n\nThis workshop brings together Indigenous filmmakers\, archives practitioners\, and academic researchers for a roundtable discussion on the urgent need to develop national frameworks for the preservation\, access\, and distribution of audiovisual materials in Mi’kma’ki and across Canada. Film is an important medium for conveying First Nations culture\, language\, teaching\, and history. Yet\, audiovisual materials remain among the most vulnerable cultural materials due to a range of systemic challenges—insufficient preservation methods\, under-resourced technical infrastructure\, limited and unstable funding\, and intellectual property regimes that do not support artists or communities. Participants will explore these critical issues and actionable steps to be taken by key stakeholders\, including government bodies\, cultural institutions\, and funding agencies. This conversation aims to shape a “manifesto for action\,” setting the groundwork for a national policy agenda that recognizes\, protects\, and sustains Indigenous audiovisual heritage.

SUMMARY:DH Programming Pedagogy in the Age of AI 
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Anastasia Salter and John T. Murray \n\n\n\nIn this team-taught workshop\, we invite scholars to join us in exploring the relationship between generative AI and the future of programming pedagogy in the digital humanities and a frontline of what the MLA-CCCC Joint Task Force on Writing and AI called “critical AI literacy.” Generative AI offers opportunities to make programming more accessible to diverse learners\, and we explore how to use these emerging technologies to build inclusive pathways into programming through natural language interfaces and “literate programming.” This course will emphasize two critical programming languages\, JavaScript and Python\, that are commonly taught in humanities courses due to their applicability for interactive experiences\, public humanities\, and textual analysis. This workshop will build participants’ comfort with both generating and debugging code with AI tools\, as well as deploying generative AI outside of mainstream commercial projects. Participants will be invited to approach GitHub\, Copilot\, Hugging Face\, TensorFlow\, and Jupyter Notebooks through a beginner’s mind\, working through\, critiquing\, and developing assignments and pedagogical applications or their own classrooms. Participants with and without programming experience are welcome.

SUMMARY:Equity\, Advocacy\, and Care Frameworks for DH Labs and Communities 
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Jacquelyne Thoni Howard \n\n\n\nThis course will guide attendees through the process of developing and enhancing student engagement and educational digital humanities programming using equity\, advocacy\, and care frameworks. Informed by liberatory and feminist pedagogies\, this workshop will demonstrate how to build DH programming that meets the diverse educational and research needs of students\, faculty\, institutions\, and community partners. Participants will read and discuss critical studies that explain how experiential and educational digital humanities programming can be used to build equitable and interdisciplinary learning spaces that enhance career readiness and skill-building for students while contributing to the research of faculty and community partners. Participants will actively ideate\, collaborate\, and construct strategies for designing advocacy-driven digital humanities labs\, curriculum modules\, and experiential programs that integrate with equity curriculum. They will write program goals\, explore funding options\, design recruitment plans\, learn about project management techniques\, find technical support options\, and develop program assessments. By the end of the course\, attendees leave with can project plan that they can implement at their institutions.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web 
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Susan Brown and Kim Martin \n\n\n\nThis workshop provides an introduction to the web of data for humanities researchers and cultural data stewards. Linked open data is highly structured interoperable data hosted on the web that is structured with semantic relationships so that machines can become partners in discovering\, disseminating\, sharing\, and analyzing data. Done right\, LOD contributes to a semantic web of resources that can be accessed and used across multiple online locations\, aggregating knowledge and facilitating its reuse: it is FAIR (findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, reusable) data in the most profound sense. The workshop will cover reasons for publishing cultural and research collections as LOD by looking at a range of existing uses in humanities research and GLAM (gallery\, library\, archive\, and museum) contexts. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain hands-on experience with several linked open data projects and tools; learn about the resource description framework (RDF)\, ontologies\, and vocabularies used to create linked open data; learn how LOD can be leveraged in queries\, visualizations\, and web applications; gain an understanding of how LOD is created; and be introduced to a number of practical\, ethical\, and theoretical considerations that should inform the creation and reuse of diverse\, nuanced\, responsible\, and usable linked open data for cultural research and dissemination. By the end of this workshop\, participants should have grasped the major concepts of linked open data and the components of its technology stack; understand the basics of linked data creation\, publication\, and use; and be positioned to start to develop a linked data project of their own. \n\n\n\nIntended audience: Advanced students\, subject matter experts and researchers\, librarians and data curators from GLAM contexts\, research software engineers\, and the LOD-curious!

SUMMARY:Conceptualizing and Creating a Digital Edition
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Katie Blizzard and Lorena Gauthereau \n\n\n\nThis course will explore all aspects of conceptualizing\, planning for\, and creating a digital edition. It provides a basic introduction to the various types of digital editions\, the practice of editing in the digital age\, and a survey of the many digital tools available to serve project goals. Approaching a digital edition means taking time to think about how end-users will want to work with a particular edition. Beginning with the research and analytical needs of end-users in mind\, editors are better able to develop effective editorial strategies that will result in a dynamic\, useful\, and usable digital edition. In this course\, participants will engage in hands-on learning and group discussions related to project conceptualization\, editorial policies and processes\, and the selection and use of digital tools that can serve the needs of researchers and other end-users. Participants will bring a few sample materials they are working with. We will use these in a class project – creating a digital edition over the course of the week using skills learned in each session. Our goal is for participants to return to their home institutions ready and able to build upon\, enhance\, and transform these initial ideas into robust digital editions.

SUMMARY:Queer(ing) DH 
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Jason Boyd and Edmond Chang \n\n\n\nQueerness and the digital humanities share a common ethos: a desire to make meaning in new ways. Indeed\, the intersection of DH and queerness is a site of rich potential that can inspire (and challenge) us to think differently about DH\, its methods\, its purpose\, and its politics. This is true whether we are building a DH project or writing DH critique. \n\n\n\nThis course draws from readings\, discussions\, interactive exercises\, visits by guest speakers\, and short\, collaborative hands-on making projects to explore a variety of questions about queerness and DH. What does DH bring to queer studies? What does queer studies bring to DH? How might a queer DH project serve social justice? How can we develop DH projects that are queer in their design? What might it mean to queer DH itself? How can we understand DH as already queer? This course values self-reflection\, intersectional perspectives\, and cultural critique. It addresses the challenges and frictions facing those who do queer DH work. What are the obstacles for queer DH within larger structures of academia and funding? Is there a tension between the push for skill-building within DH and queer studies’ critiques of neoliberalism? When do the norms of DH themselves run counter to the values of queerness? \n\n\n\nOur readings will address topics that fall under the wide umbrella of the “digital humanities\,” including (but not limited to) data visualization\, classification systems\, programming languages\, video games\, mapping and geography\, online archives\, and tangible computing. As instructors\, we bring to this course an understanding that LGBT/queer people\, identities\, and histories are multiple and complex. We strive to foster thinking about queerness and DH that engages meaningfully with intersecting issues of race\, class\, disability\, nationality\, religion\, and indigenous rights.

SUMMARY:Open Assembly: Teaching & Publishing with COVE Studio & Editions 
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Kate Oestreich \n\n\n\nThis course will introduce the open-assembly teaching and making tools at the nonprofit COVE (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education)\, which anyone\, anywhere can use without having to learn to code. COVE is a scholar-driven\, open-access platform that publishes both peer-reviewed material and active-learning or “flipped classroom” student projects built with our web-based online tools. COVE operates as a two-fold platform: Studio\, where instructors can create anthologies of primary works that can then be made available for multimedia student annotation\, and Editions\, which hosts published and private editions\, galleries\, maps\, and timelines\, and facilitates peer review. DHSI students will learn the COVE toolset and principle of “open assembly\,” or free\, transformative remixing of texts\, items\, and archives. They will build an anthology (in COVE Studio) and begin an Edition\, Map\, Gallery\, or Timeline (in COVE Editions) that they can easily complete afterwards. They will then share these projects with the DHSI community.
