SUMMARY:Introduction to Python & Coding for HSS - Part II of the HSS Python Series
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION \n\n\n\nThis is the first workshop of a beginner level four-part series for humanities and social sciences researchers (HSS) and librarians. We will use Python due to its vast popularity\, easy syntax\, and powerful extensions\, while working in the user-friendly and convenient JupyterLab environment. This session focuses on introducing participants to basic coding concepts and fundamentals to help them confidently participate in high-level conceptual discussions with computer programmers or technical team members. These general concepts will be reinforced and illustrated with the hands-on development of simple programs that can immediately help with text-based research and analysis.  \n\n\n\nParticipants can continue in the series to apply the Python knowledge with Textual Analysis (TextBlob) and LLMs. It is highly recommended that you complete this 2-part Python series before joining the Textual Analysis sessions.  \n\n\n\nFor the Python workshops\, you do not need any previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented or prior programming experience. \n\n\n\nYou need a laptop with a Mac\, Linux\, or Windows operating system (not a tablet\, Chromebook\, etc) on which you have administrative privileges\, as you will need to pre-load specific software packages. \n\n\n\nInstructors: Tannia Chevez

SUMMARY:Students deserve Research Data Management! Teaching with the RDM Educators Kit
DESCRIPTION:Date: May 5 2026 \n\n\n\nYour students deserve to know about Research Data Management! In this brand-new “train the trainer” session for educators\, RDM Services will prepare you to prepare your graduate and undergraduate students for increasing grant and publisher requirements for Data Management Plans and Data Deposit. \n\n\n\n“Do my students even have data to manage?” you might ask. Au contraire mon capitane\, they do! If research involves biological samples or survey results\, you may feel confident you’re working with research data. But what if your research is rooted in creative practice? What if you’re looking for the specific heat of a material under a magnetic field? Data have many formats: text\, numbers\, images\, recordings\, software\, algorithms\, workflows. Research Data Management is caring for data through the research lifecycle: planning to archiving. \n\n\n\nWe’ll discuss integrating our new RDM Educators Kit in the classroom\, from 2-minute slide inserts to RDM class visits to multi-class Data Management Plan creation as an “open hand of cards.” We’ll end with a working session to imagine challenges and possibilities! \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn to: \n\n\n\n\nSummarize RDM best practices and what Data Management Plans and Data Deposit look like in your field\n\n\n\nLocate available tools from RDM Services\n\n\n\nPrepare to implement Research Data Management tools in the classroom.\n\n\n\n\nThis session is great for educators from faculty to sessional instructors to graduate students ready to bring RDM into their classrooms! \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\nIsaac Pratt (he/him) is a research scientist by training and has a PhD in Anatomy & Cell Biology. He leverages nearly a decade of interdisciplinary research experience to help support students\, staff\, and faculty. His expertise lies in questions surrounding data storage\, security\, planning\, archival\, and sharing. Isaac also provides support and curation services for McMaster Dataverse. His other interests include reproducible research methods\, open science\, and data science. \n\n\n\nDanica Evering holds expansive experience with research support\, education\, project management\, advocacy\, and knowledge translation; with fluency in social practice art\, healthcare\, community research\, data\, and systems development. Danica supports students\, postdocs\, faculty\, and staff with RDM through the data lifecycle—Data Management Plans\, storage and backup\, data security\, data sharing. With an MA in Media Studies from Concordia\, they are interested in fostering RDM within curious scholars and disciplines. \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:Research Data Management for Humanities Researchers
DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 5th 2026 to May 8th 2026 \n\n\n\nInstructors:Shahira Khair\, University of Victoria LibrariesSandra Sawchuck\, Mount Saint Vincent Libraries \n\n\n\n\nThis intensive four-day hands-on workshop is designed for humanities researchers who want to actively apply best practices in research data management in their own research projects. Recognizing the unique and diverse nature of humanities data—from digitized texts and images\, to audio recordings and cultural artifacts—the workshop provides practical\, actionable strategies across the entire research data lifecycle\, from initial planning to long-term preservation and reuse.  \n\n\n\nThis is a “bring your own data” workshop! Participants should arrive with the research materials they are seeking help in managing. This can be from an existing project or one you are just embarking on! (And we can point you in some directions if you are looking for data!) \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain proficiency in developing comprehensive Data Management Plans (DMPs)\, essential for navigating funder requirements (e.g. SSHRC\, NEH) and streamlining project workflows. Through practical exercises\, the curriculum emphasizes effective organization and documentation of research materials\, use of software for analysis and automation\, and the critical role of metadata in ensuring data discoverability and long-term reusability. Sessions will cover secure storage solutions and long-term preservation techniques to safeguard valuable research materials. \n\n\n\nA significant focus is placed on the ethical dimensions inherent in many research areas in the humanities\, addressing sensitive data\, informed consent\, use of AI\, and the crucial principles of cultural sensitivity and Indigenous data sovereignty. The workshop also guides researchers through strategic data sharing by exploring appropriate repositories (disciplinary and generalist)\, applying robust curation practices\, and navigating licensing and persistent identifiers to maximize research impact and compliance with evolving funder and publisher requirements. Upon completion\, attendees will be empowered to confidently manage\, preserve\, and ethically share their research\, enhancing the integrity\, accessibility\, and scholarly impact of their work. \n\n\n\n\nMax Participants: 25

SUMMARY:Wiki pour les universitaires : engagement critique\, enseignement et diffusion des connaissances (DHSI 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nCe cours initie les participant·es à découvrir l’écosystème Wikimédia et à ses applications dans l’enseignement postsecondaire et la recherche académique. Les participant·es apprendront le fonctionnement de Wikipédia\, Wikidata\, Wikimedia Commons et d’autres projets Wiki\, ainsi que la manière dont ces outils peuvent être utilisés pour favoriser la pensée critique\, enseigner les enjeux liés à la désinformation\, impliquer les étudiant·es dans l’édition collaborative et rendre les savoirs scientifiques plus visibles et accessibles\, conformément aux principes FAIR. \n\n\n\nÀ travers une combinaison d’exercices pratiques\, de discussions critiques et de planification guidée\, les participant·es repartiront avec : \n\n\n\n\nun projet de plan de cours intégrant les outils Wiki à leur enseignement ;\n\n\n\nun projet de plan de recherche mobilisant les projets Wiki dans leur travail scientifique et leurs activités de mobilisation des connaissances.\n\n\n\n\nCe cours met l’accent à la fois sur les approches théoriques et pratiques\, permettant aux chercheur·euses d’analyser de façon critique les plateformes Wiki tout en y contribuant de manière significative. Il utilise aussi l’approche de la théorie critique pour comprendre et utiliser l’écosystème Wiki. \n\n\n\nEnseignant.e(s)\n\n\n\nPascale Dangoisse est chargée de programme pour Wikimedia Canada\, où je travaille à une meilleure représentation et intégration des personnes historiquement marginalisées dans l’écosystème Wiki. Ma recherche doctorale (Université d’Ottawa) portait sur la compréhension de la persistance de la discrimination systémique dans les environnements politiques libéraux et progressistes. J’ai également été post-doctorante au Laboratoire des humanités numériques de l’Université d’Ottawa\, où j’ai travaillé sur le projet Lesbian and Gay Liberation Canada (avec la professeure Crompton). Je continue d’enseigner les différents obstacles systémiques auxquels les gens sont confrontés au quotidien à travers les outils et les projets Wiki.
