Digital Scholarship “How To”: Two Hands-On Workshops

Two distinct, four-hour, hands-on workshops will be offered on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 to complement the talks of Michael Jarvis and Cristanne Miller. Participants will gain direct experience with the technologies that facilitated the research described in each talk. The workshops assume no previous experience and will be of particular interest to those considering using digital scholarship methods in their research.

“Reconstructing Historical Structures”

Led by Joshua Romphf, Programmer at The University of Rochester’s Digital Humanities Center, this workshop will explore and explain technologies for visualizing and simulating historical locations, structures, and even interactions—digital technologies used in Michael Jarvis’s Friday talk.

Digital Scholarship Week

“Digital humanities” and “digital scholarship” are increasingly frequent watchwords among the academic avant-garde, but do these tools radically change what scholars can do? Digital Scholarship Week will offer seven days of events to explore this question with programing for two distinct groups on the UB campus. The week will provide an introduction for faculty and students curious about how digital methods could enrich their scholarship, and it will bring together scholars already engaged in digital scholarship to introduce their work to the UB academic community and to exchange methods and ideas. Together, this week will offer UB faculty and graduate students the chance to delve into key trends in digital scholarship.

Digital Scholarship Week is presented by the Committee on Digital Scholarship and Cultures (DiSC) and the Humanities Institute with support from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development and the College of Arts and Sciences.
