SUMMARY:Teaching the Digital Humanities: Without a Budget
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed to help educators at institutions without a DH budget. This specifically considers educators at regional state schools\, community colleges and other under-funded institutions and adjuncts\, graduate students and other precarious members of our community. It is aimed at supporting those who desire to integrate DH into their classroom without institutional financial backing. This course will provide a brief overview of digital humanities technologies\, how they can be integrated into the classroom\, and why you would integrate them into a classroom. We will focus specifically on free or very low cost technologies that can be easily integrated into the classroom. The course aims to support classrooms and instructors which had not previously included significant DH content. This discussion will have two parts. One aspect will focus on finding free or low-budget DH solutions. The other part will be a discussion on how to gently ease students into these DH approaches and solutions touching on cross-campus partnerships that add depth to students’ understanding of the practical norms of the field. This part of the discussion will draw in particular on the collaborative experience of a librarian and an assistant professor.

SUMMARY:Text Processing - Techniques & Traditions
DESCRIPTION:This course provides a practical introduction to the accumulated wealth of text processing tactics and strategies that underpin much digital humanities practice. Methods like text analysis\, TEI encoding\, programming and scripting all rely on underlying systems\, interfaces\, and paradigms for dealing with digital text\, some of which are many decades old. This course asks: Why are the tools we use the way they are\, and why are they not otherwise? Over the week we’ll look at a range of basic tools and toolkits — from the command line and Unix tools through XML and JSON — and explore methods for making text processes more efficient and more convivial. We’ll consider these systems in the context of the cultural histories of computing and publishing technology from which they arise. Participants should bring a laptop and an article or other body of text to work with over the week. \nThis offering is co-sponsored by Publishing@SFU. \nThis course combines lecture\, seminar\, and hands-on activities. Consider this offering in complement with: Online Collaborative Scholarship: Principles and Practices (A CWRCShop); Web Development for Beginners\, with Ruby on Rails; Creating LAMP Infrastructure for Digital Humanities Projects; [Foundations] Fundamentals of Programming/Coding for Human(s|ists); Regular Expressions; and more!

SUMMARY:DH for Librarians
DESCRIPTION:This 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.

SUMMARY:Conceptualising and Creating a Digital Edition
DESCRIPTION:This 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. \nThis offering is co-sponsored by the Center for Digital Editing at UVa. \nThis course combines lecture and hands-on activities. Consider this offering to build on: Digitisation Fundamentals and their Application; Understanding the Pre-Digital Book. Consider this offering in complement with and / or to be built on by: Digital Documentation and Imaging for Humanists; Pragmatic Publishing Workflows; XPath for Processing XML and Managing Projects; and more!

SUMMARY:Web APIs with Python
DESCRIPTION:This course is aimed at humanities scholars interested in tapping into the data streams and functionality offered by platforms and content providers such as Twitter\, Google\, and the New York Times. Introduction to APIs will open with the basics of Python\, a scripting language widely used in industry and the academy because of its human readability. We will proceed to the fundamentals of working with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)\, the most common way to programatically access web-based services and data. Lessons will cover the fundamentals of programming\, the workflow of building a small script/app\, accessing data from a variety of sources\, and reading technical documentation. The course will be useful for those interested in understanding programming concepts\, developing applications\, and working with data. \nThis is a hands-on course. Consider this offering in complement with Fundamentals of Programming/Coding for Human(s|ists); CloudPowering DH Research; Practical Software Development for Nontraditional Digital Humanities Developers; Introduction to Data for Digital Humanities Projects; Text Analysis with Python and the Natural Language ToolKit; and more!

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity for Humanists
DESCRIPTION:University researchers are facing increasingly sophisticated security threats. Cyber security attacks against education and research sectors are growing faster than any other sector. Digital Humanities has brought historical and cultural research to a public audience like never before\, thanks in large part to the web. Archives and applications are making rarefied cultural objects available almost anywhere on the globe\, but they are also now exposed to risks associated with any online activity. This course will introduce attendees to many security best practices and policies by conducting a holistic risk assessment. We will rely on open standards like those produced by Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)\, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF)\, and the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Essentials tool kit. During the course of the week\, we will develop a threat model for your project\, lab\, or centre. We will work to identify ways to limit your project’s attack surface and generate custom research security policies for you and your collaborators. This session will help you develop a security-first research practice that protects the safety of your data\, your researchers\, and your research subjects. A security-first research practice helps ensure data integrity for your project in a global political climate that can be antagonistic or even hostile to humanities research. \nThis is a hands-on course with some lecture components. Consider this offering to be built on by and/or in complement with Race\, Social Justice\, and DH: Applied Theories and Methods\, Intersectional Feminist Digital Humanities: Theoretical\, Social\, and Material Engagements\, DH For Department Chairs and Deans\, Introduction to Project Planning and Management for DH: Issues and Approaches\, Pedagogy of the Digitally Oppressed: Anti-Colonial DH Critiques & Praxis\, and more!

SUMMARY:Open Knowledge in Wikipedia and Beyond: Possibilities and Responsibilities
DESCRIPTION:In this course\, we will work on the definition of Open Knowledge and its commonalities\, differences and relationship to Open Access and Open Data. We look through non-profit projects of Wikimedia and through other academic and non-academic projects\, by focusing on technological\, collaborative\, legal and ethical questions. \nWhereas legal and technological restrictions\, and collaborative methods are mostly well defined by laws\, user guidelines and the current state of the art\, social restrictions often seem to be open to interpretation. We will find and discuss guidelines to let ethical questions find access into the guidelines of Open Access projects. There will also be room to discuss your own Open Knowledge projects\, based on what we learnt\, if you want to share them with the class. This course is aimed at students\, academic stuff\, non-academic and academic archivists and librarians\, community members and anyone else with an interest in ethical\, legal\, collaborative and technological questions about Open Knowledge.

SUMMARY:Making Connections: The Semantic Web for Humanities Scholars
DESCRIPTION:This course dives into the Semantic Web with its possibilities for humanities research through exploring ontologies and vocabularies for Linked Open Data: how they are constructed\, how they function in relation to data structure and creation\, and how they impact dissemination and querying. Practical exercises will include ontology creation and extension\, using ontologies in the creation of LOD or conversion of existing data using a range of tools\, and the use of ontologies in data querying\, analysis\, and visualization. Discussions and reflection on class activities will work towards an understanding how ontologies both mobilize and constrain data\, analyzing the implications of different ontologies as forms of modeling\, and evaluating the suitability of particular ontologies for different approaches to research. We will be particularly concerned with the ability of ontologies to reflect the heterogeneity\, specificity\, and situatedness of humanities data\, and to support critical approaches such as feminism\, critical race\, and indigenous studies. \nThis course is offered by the Linked Infrastructure for Networked Cultural Scholarship cyberinfrastructure project\, which will be providing tools and methods for converting humanities datasets into LOD. Researchers are encouraged to bring content they are interested in mobilizing in the form of an essay\, article\, primary text for editing; XML (e.g. TEI or MODS) data; or a spreadsheet or CSV file. These will form the basis of discussions\, analyses\, and experimentation with tools. \nThis offering is co-sponsored by LINCS. \nThis course combines lecture\, seminar\, and hands-on formats. Consider this offering in relation to the following. Predecessors: Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web; Making Choices About Your Data; Race\, Social Justice\, and DH: Applied Theories and Methods (good for evaluating the vocabularies that we find); Feminist Digital Humanities: Theoretical\, Social\, and Material Engagements (good for evaluating vocabularies that we find); Queer Digital Humanities: Intersections\, Interrogations\, Iterations (good for evaluating vocabularies that we find); Databases for Digital Humanists; Fundamentals of Programming/Coding for Human(s|ists). Successors: Introduction to Network Analysis in the Digital Humanities; Ethical Data Visualization: Taming Treacherous Data; Web APIs with Python; Information Security for Digital Researchers; Introduction to IIIF: Sharing\, Consuming\, and Annotating the World’s Images. Peers: Open Access and Open Social Scholarship; Endings: How to end (and archive) your digital project; XPath for Processing XML and Managing Projects; Agile Project Management. And more!

SUMMARY:DIY Computational Text Analysis with R
DESCRIPTION:This is a course in stylometry\, or the analysis of countable linguistic features of texts. While stylometry has been usually associated with authorship attribution\, the same methods are successfully applied to more general text analysis\, and\, recently\, even analysis of other modes such as music and image. The statistics of such features as word\, word n-gram or character n-gram frequencies\, are not only a highly precise tool for identifying authorship\, but can in fact reveal patterns of similarity and difference between various works by one author\, works by various authors\, finally between authors differing in terms of chronology\, gender\, genre or narrative styles\, between translations of the same author or group of authors\, or specific voices such as idiolects of characters in novels. This provides a new opening in literary studies\, and the results of a stylometric analysis can be compared and confronted with the findings of traditional stylistics and interpretation. It also opens a new set of questions about style and its transfer\, as well as the nature of particular features and language. \nThe participants of our course will learn major stylometric tools and methods\, from simple keywords extraction to machine-learning classification based on text features\, followed by visualization techniques ranging from dendrograms to networks. The participants will learn how to identify the problem\, define relevant research questions\, and design an experiment. We will use our own package written for the R statistical programming environment — ‘stylo’\, which allows us to avoid R’s usually steep learning curve – we don’t expect advanced programming skills. We will provide text corpora to use for training purposes\, but also hope and expect participant bring their own data and problems to work on. \nThis course combines lecture and hands-on activities. Consider this offering to build on: Fundamentals of Coding / Programming for Human(s|ists); Web Development / Project Prototyping for Beginners with Ruby on Rails; Out-of-the-Box Text Analysis for the Digital Humanities. Consider this offering in complement with and / or to be built on by: Geographical Information Systems in the Digital Humanities; Understanding Topic Modelling; Data Mining for Digital Humanists; and more!

SUMMARY:Pedagogy of the Digitally Oppressed: Anti-Colonial DH Critiques & Praxis
DESCRIPTION:What is our ethical imperative as teachers and scholars in the digital and public humanities? How might we identify and address the colonial histories\, legacies\, and discursive practices pervading the contemporary technoscape and our departmental curricula? How might we hone our individual and collective capacities to sustain communities of care and transform oppressive structures of knowledge-making in the neoliberal academy? Through engaging with and reflecting on these critical questions\, this weeklong course invites scholars\, creative practitioners\, and off-campus community members to develop collective strategies for refusing the damaging colonialities of teaching\, learning\, and research practices. As co-participants\, we will foreground an ethic of care and community building in identifying tactics that we can share and act upon to challenge and transform colonial ideologies and systems embedded within the increasingly interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities. Building upon Paulo Freire’s writings on the pedagogy of the oppressed and aligning with Global South\, Indigenous\, Black\, and women of colour feminist\, queer\, and crip justice work\, we will imagine and continue the ongoing process of bringing into being the anti-colonial possibilities of classroom teaching for a bolder and more affirming environment for digital humanists inside and outside the academy.

SUMMARY:Basics of Computers
DESCRIPTION:Most of us have experience using a computer\, whether for school\, work\, or entertainment\, but how many of us have actually had an expert teach us how to use it? When one of your computing devices goes wrong\, do you struggle to understand why? Perhaps you do an internet search in the hope that someone else who has had the exact same problem as you found a solution that also works for you. It doesn’t need to be (quite) this way. This talk doesn’t teach you how to troubleshoot everything\, but does give you insight to how media\, programs and data are encoded and used by computers so you can make more sense of why computers behave the ways they do and solve some of your problems with greater efficiency and less frustration. We provide an approachable overview of how a computer works\, by both looking at their history and breaking one down to explain individual components\, before highlighting some of the tradeoffs to consider when buying a computer. We provide practical\, simple\, and actionable advice on digital security and show you a few “pro tips” on how to make the most of your workstation\, phone\, or whatever device you happen to use. Whether you have a lot or a little experience using your digital technology\, if you want to learn how to use your devices more effectively\, this workshop is for you!

SUMMARY:Introducing Digital Scholarship 1: Digital Storytelling\, Counter Narratives and Design Fictions 
DESCRIPTION:Date: 1 October 2024 \n\n\n\nIn the first installment of this two-event series\, learn more about the interdisciplinary\, multifaceted\, and emergent approaches to digital scholarship from our 2024 Graduate Residency cohort. \n\n\n\nStorying Disability: Digital Community Archives as Public Memorial at New York’s Craig Colony for Epileptics – Katie Waring \n\n\n\nMy project seeks to understand patient experiences with institutionalization at the Craig Colony for Epileptics in Sonyea\, New York. As the first such institution for disabled people in the United States\, the Craig Colony occupies an important role in disability history\, yet little attention has been paid to the experiences of the patients forced to live there. This project integrates oral histories with survivors alongside archival research and photographs into an interactive digital map for users to explore and navigate using the design tool Vev. In this presentation\, I will showcase the map and discuss the possibilities digital storytelling can offer as a strategic practice of remembrance in unearthing disability history\, as well as how such strategic practices can help advocate for new and better futures for disabled communities.    \n\n\n\nKatie Waring (she/her) is a multimedia writer and doctoral candidate in the Communication\, New Media\, and Cultural Studies program at McMaster. Her research aims to understand the potential for community-engaged digital storytelling in highlighting suppressed histories. She holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Pittsburgh and her creative work has been published in literary journals such as The Normal School and American Literary Review\, among others. She’s originally from New York State.    \n\n\n\n“The Exotic Amazon and The Exotic Woman”: Practicing Refusal Through Digital Counter-storytelling – Andrea Vela Alarcón \n\n\n\nMy project aims to be a creative digital intervention presenting illustrated AR vignettes and questions reflecting the gendered relations shaped by the long history of resource extraction in Iquitos (Peru). This project departs from the framework of refusal\, a concept and practice rooted in Indigenous and Black thought. Refusal exposes and rejects the histories\, knowledge production practices and relations of oppression taking away our subjecthood. However\, refusal is also a creative outlet embracing the “possibility of living otherwise” (Campt\, 2019). This presentation showcases three AR vignettes enacting a creative refusal by being a tool and entry point to explore the gendered violence and colonial resource extraction in Iquitos. I will discuss the possibilities digital counter-storytelling open as a process and site of political action exposing and unmasking non-innocent histories legitimizing resource extraction’s gendered violence of Amazonian girls and women.  \n\n\n\nAndrea Vela Alarcón (she/her/Ella) is a community educator\, illustrator and doctoral candidate in Communication\, New Media\, and Cultural Studies at McMaster University. Her academic\, creative and pedagogical practices are rooted in anti-colonial approaches and feminist care ethics to facilitate spaces of critical conversations and creation geared toward a world beyond extraction. Through her work\, Andrea collaborates with communities in the crafting of stories that center refusal and resistance for environmental justice.  \n\n\n\nFostering Creative Confidence: Reframing Ambiguity Through Storytelling and Design Fiction – Fatima Nazir \n\n\n\nAs part of my ongoing work\, I have developed a workshop that empowers students from various disciplines to build ‘creative confidence’ through storytelling and by reframing ambiguity in ways that foster excitement and joy in learning. This workshop\, within the context of Design Thinking education\, helps students view ambiguity as an opportunity for innovation rather than discomfort. I will discuss how design fiction—a method that creates story worlds in which prototypes explore discursive spaces—facilitates this shift. Participants redesign everyday objects to reflect future scenarios or alternate realities\, imagining futures that encompass technological\, social\, and cultural narratives. With prompts\, collaborative prototyping\, and reflective discussion\, the workshop fosters creativity\, risk-taking\, and comfort with ambiguity across various fields. \n\n\n\nFatima Nazir has a multidisciplinary background in applied psychology and human behaviour and is pursuing graduate studies in Engineering Design (Product Design). Passionate about storytelling and human-centered design\, her work in research\, design\, and collaborative projects aims to create inclusive spaces that place people’s stories at the heart of product decisions. Her work spans from reimagining learning experiences and fostering creativity in education to advancing co-design practices in engineering and healthcare to address systemic challenges and improve outcomes. \n\n\n\nLet’s Talk! Academic Podcast Entanglements – Milica Hinic \n\n\n\nMy graduate residency project for the Sherman Centre is a podcast series titled\, The Academic Podcast Entanglements. It is composed of 8 episodes of in-depth conversations with transdisciplinary academic podcasters from Humanities and Social Sciences. My presentation will focus on the ways faculty\, staff\, and students use podcasting as a method within knowledge mobilization systems. I will discuss the many ways podcasts engage individual or collective knowledge brokers such as academics\, researchers\, students\, community members\, organizations\, etc. Through these critical conversations the academic podcast amplifies the values and tensions of: (1) lived experiences (2) co-creation of meanings (3) and building relationships. The goal is to share what we know\, what we don’t know and make spaces for new ways of doing podcasting in our digital futures.   \n\n\n\nMilica Hinic (She/Her) is an MA student in Communication and New Media at McMaster University. Her research interests include podcasting and knowledge mobilization in higher education and beyond. She finds innovative ways of sharing information and connecting knowledge brokers across diverse fields\, institutions\, organizations\, and communities. As a result\, she co-designs projects from beginning to end and co-creates meaningful project outputs that generate social impact.  \n\n\n\nDetails: This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue.

SUMMARY:Introducing Digital Scholarship 2: Data Analysis\, Open-Source Tool Development\, Platform Governance and Algorithmic Harms
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2 October 2024 \n\n\n\nIn the second installment of this two-event series\, learn more about the interdisciplinary\, multifaceted\, and emergent approaches to digital scholarship from our 2024 Graduate Residency cohort. \n\n\n\nDeveloping standardized methods for transportation analysis – Bruno dos Santos \n\n\n\nTransportation poverty occurs when financial difficulties and transportation challenges make it difficult for people to participate in daily activities. In Canada\, this problem is aggravated by a lack of standards to ensure the fair distribution of transportation infrastructure and limited guidance for planners to address equity in their projects. However\, with data now more accessible than ever\, there are opportunities to improve equity in transportation planning. My presentation highlights the standardized methods I developed for transportation analysis during my residency at the Sherman Centre. I will present the COMMUTECA21 R package\, created in collaboration with McMaster University’s Centre for Research Data\, which provides tools for conducting transportation analysis of accessibility in any region of Canada using national survey data. \n\n\n\nBruno dos Santos (He/Him) is a Ph.D. student in the School of Earth\, Environment & Society at McMaster University. He holds a M.Sc. in Remote Sensing from the National Institute for Space Research (São Paulo\, Brazil). His doctoral research focuses on understanding how transportation acts as a barrier for individuals in finding or maintaining employment. \n\n\n\nUnlocking Toddler Activity Insights: Introducing an Easy-to-Use Machine Learning Tool for Everyone – Elyse Letts \n\n\n\nThis presentation will showcase the latest version of my new open-source tool to assess toddler physical activity. This python tool allows non-experts to use a machine learning model without needing to code. It produces a physical activity summary from a raw accelerometer data file. Physical activity is essential for children’s healthy growth and development. The Canadian 24-hour Movement Behaviour Guidelines suggests that toddlers get 180 minutes of daily physical activity. To understand if toddlers are meeting guidelines\, we must first accurately measure their activity. In my thesis work\, I have developed a machine learning model that measures toddler activity. I have expanded this into a tool that can be easily used by those who work with toddlers\, for example clinicians\, researchers\, and public health agencies. \n\n\n\nElyse Letts (she/her) is a PhD student in Medical Sciences at McMaster University with the Child Health & Exercise Medicine Program. Her research focuses on improving physical activity and sedentary time measurement in toddlers as well as investigating the impact of physical activity on toddler health outcomes. Prior to joining McMaster\, she completed an undergraduate degree (BSc) in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding the role of civil society in multistakeholder global platform governance at UNESCO – Brad McNeil \n\n\n\nIn October 2023\, UNESCO released its ‘Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms\,’ a major step in global digital platform governance by an international intergovernmental body. The Guidelines were developed through multistakeholder consultations occurring from December 2022 to June 2023\, involving the public and private sectors\, civil society\, media\, academia\, and the technical community. The consultation process engaged 134 nations and received over 10\,000 comments\, making it one of UNESCO’s largest open consultations to date. Although UNESCO offered select quantitative data to showcase the diversity of stakeholders involved and to summarize feedback received\, these summaries provide an incomplete picture of the multistakeholder process. My project uses the anonymized consultation data to critically assess the multistakeholder quality of the consultations\, particularly highlighting concerns from civil society in the Global South. This presentation will explore alternative data visualizations to better represent these voices\, offering a critical perspective on the institutional narrative. \n\n\n\nBrad McNeil (He/Him) is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Communication Studies and Media Arts at McMaster University.  His research interests lie at the multiple intersections between freedom of expression\, content moderation\, and platform governance. His doctoral research focuses on global platform governance\, with special attention to the ways that international organizations such as Intergovernmental institutions and non-governmental organizations are structuring a vision of global platform governance. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding the Nature and Risks of Welfare Algorithmic Harms – Anabelle Ragsag \n\n\n\nWith the rise of the use of networked technologies and algorithms comes the intensification of surveillance. As welfare and social assistance systems adopting AI\, algorithms\, and automation\, the poor are increasingly subjected to new modes and intensified ways and systems of surveillance and regulation. This presentation will share what the AI\, Algorithmic\, and Automation Incidents and Controversies Repository (the AIAAIC Repository) have identified as algorithmic incidents in the welfare system around the world\, their nature\, risks\, and impacts. This presentation for the 2024 Sherman Centre Graduate Residency is a smaller part of my doctoral thesis that aims to understand how Asian solo mothers experience welfare surveillance and how do they identify and make use of their agency in this surveillance-heavy contexts. \n\n\n\nAnabelle Ragsag is a PhD student at the School of Social Work who is interested in the politics and technologies of social assistance. Originally from Mindanao\, southern Philippines\, Anabelle is a community organizer based in Hamilton. Through her program development and evaluation work; teaching\, speaking and writing; and parenting\, she tackles systemic inequities by building the capacity of racialized women\, to collaborate with other women\, to challenge structures\, and to create spaces within and outside those that exclude them. \n\n\n\nBreaking the Silence: Understanding HPV Vaccination Gaps among Canadian Men – Naharin Sultana Anni \n\n\n\nHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) is often associated with women due to its link to cervical cancer\, overshadowing the significant risk it poses to men. In Canada\, men are frequently overlooked by HPV vaccination programs\, leaving them vulnerable to HPV-related cancers like oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers\, due to limited awareness\, cultural stigmas\, and absence of targeted vaccination efforts. \n\n\n\nThis project aims to address these gaps through a comprehensive online survey targeting men residing in Canada aged 16 and above\, available in English and French. The survey explores knowledge\, attitudes\, and practices surrounding HPV and its vaccine. This presentation will highlight preliminary results from the first 100 participants\, focusing on key trends in awareness\, barriers to vaccination\, and implications for public health strategies to create inclusive vaccination programs. \n\n\n\nNaharin Sultana Anni is a Ph.D. candidate in Global Health at McMaster University\, focusing on knowledge\, attitudes\, and practices related to HPV among men in Canada. Her research aims to provide insights that can shape effective public health strategies and promote inclusive HPV vaccination programs. She holds an MBBS from the University of Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, and a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Yonsei University\, South Korea. \n\n\n\nDetails: This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue.Date:

SUMMARY:Data Management Plan Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Date: 4 October 2024 \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\nPreliminary Work: Consult with PIs\, supervisors\, or anyone else to ensure you have access to any data-related information (including ethics requirements) you need to actively work on a DMP. \n\n\n\nDetails: This workshop will not be recorded.
