SUMMARY:Workshop: Introduction to making minimal websites and digital ephemera
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 14 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Reg Beatty \n\n\n\nThe “small web” is equal parts political and aesthetic. It engages with questions\, posed by the early web\, about what it means to have a personal presence online but in the light of today’s ubiquitous social media and commercialization.  \n\n\n\nThis Intro will touch on these aspects of the small web but will focus on one of its hallmarks—the handmade web page. Using a minimal palette of HTML and CSS we will see how quickly a page can be created and published. This can be anything from a professional portal linking dispersed materials\, to a zine\, a poem\, or ephemera like a bulletin\, a postcard.

SUMMARY:Data Management Plan Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Date: 13 May 2025 \n\n\n\nData Management Plans (DMPs) are both incredibly helpful research tools and increasingly required for grants but it can hard to know how to complete a Data Management Plan if it’s your first time. If you’re in the process of creating a DMP\, either for a grant application or for your own research\, join RDM Services for this afternoon session. By the end of the session\, you’ll understand what the major components of a DMP are and walk away with a potentially completed plan for your own research! \n\n\n\nThis session is especially relevant if you’re in the beginning stages of a research project or streamlining best practices for your research team. Come on your own\, send your research staff\, or bring your whole research group. This 3-hour session will briefly introduce the different sections of a DMP and all the important things to consider as you build it. The RDM services team will provide tailored guidance as you write your plan on site\, and we’ll have some light snacks and refreshments to keep you going. Come away with a clear path forward or even a finished DMP! \n\n\n\nLet us know if you’re solo or joining as a research team – we’ll make sure you space to work together. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes: Identify a strong data management plan compared to a weak response\, section by section. Produce a solid outline of their own DMP. \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.

Share your thoughts on how these resources can be improved and let us know what digital tools or features you’d love to see in the future. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a Gaelic language learner\, teacher\, singer\, historian\, archivist\, librarian\, or simply passionate about preserving culture\, this workshop has something for you. Come and be part of the conversation that’s shaping the future of Gaelic cultural preservation! \n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nMay 9\, morning: Making Connections: The Semantic Web for Humanities ScholarsMay 9\, afternoon: Music Encoding Initiative: Encoding Melodic and Lyric DataMay 10\, morning: Data Cleaning with Open RefineMay 10\, morning and afternoon: Tobar an Dualchais and Nova Scotia Gaelic Song Index community assessment  \n\n\n\nMaking Connections: The Semantic Web for Humanities Scholars\n\n\n\nThis workshop provides a conceptual overview of Linked Open Data (LOD)—a set of standards and practices that enable data to be structured\, connected\, and shared as part of the Semantic Web. Unlike the traditional web\, which primarily connects via documents\, the Semantic Web links data\, creating a decentralized and more interoperable system for information discovery. Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills into: workflows for data cleaning\, creation\, and publication; methods for interacting with LOD through browsing\, querying\, and visualization tools; followed by examples of real-world LOD projects and applications. At the end of the workshop\, participants will have the skills to effectively navigate\, utilize\, and contribute to Linked Open Data initiatives. No previous experience is required. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is led by Dr. Stacy Allison-Cassin\, a professor in the Department of Information Science at Dalhousie University and member of the Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship (LINCS) project.  \n\n\n\nMusic Encoding Initiative: Encoding Melodic and Lyric Data\n\n\n\nThis workshop will introduce participants to the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI)\, a system for representing music notation and lyrics in a structured\, machine-readable format. MEI has practical applications for research\, teaching\, electronic publishing\, and digital collection management. Key topics will include: the history and core functions of MEI; an overview of MEI workflows; XML (Extensible Markup Language) and how it encodes music notation; and an exploration of tools for creating and editing MEI data\, such as Verovio. No prior experience is required. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is led by Dr. Andrew Hankinson who holds a PhD in Music Information Retrieval (McGill University) and is a scientific collaborator for the Répertoire International des Sources Musicales (RISM) Digital Center in Bern\, Switzerland. \n\n\n\nData Cleaning with Open Refine \n\n\n\nThis workshop introduces people to working with data in the open source software OpenRefine. OpenRefine is a powerful yet user friendly tool that can standardize\, clean\, and manipulate tabular data efficiently across files. At the conclusion of the lesson\, participants will understand the basic capabilities of OpenRefine and how to use it to work with data files. No previous experience is required. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is led by Megan Landry\, MLIS\, the humanities and social sciences research consultant for ACENET.

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.

SUMMARY:An intensive introduction to the Guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative
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.
