The Rice Digital Humanities (DH) group, in partnership with postdocs from the Center for Research Computing (CRC), Fondren Library and the Humanities Research Center (HRC), will be holding a series of practical workshops this fall semester. In these workshops, we will introduce you to new DH work being done and possibilities being introduced on campus, and more importantly, show you how work like this is done.

Workshops will take place 3-4pm, Digital Media Commons Multipurpose Room (basement of Fondren).

An opportunity to check in with the community on campus, and updates on available campus services in brief presentations from:

Lisa Spiro on Fondren Library’s support for the digital humanities.John Mulligan and Clinton Heider on the CRC’s resources and services for humanities and social science researchers.Thursday October 26:
Using the JSTOR API, with John Mulligan and Clinton Heider.

Learn to make automated queries to the JSTOR database. See an example of what can be done with this data, in an intertextual mapping of Shakespeare passages.
Bring your laptop, and register for a JSTOR API account beforehand! We will have you code along with the examples.

Wednesday November 8:
Mapping and 3D Modeling: A Lightning Workshop, with Marie Saldaña and Elisabeth Narkin, HRC Spatial Humanities Postdoctoral Fellows.

We will briefly introduce projects that use digital cartography and 3D modeling as tools for humanities research, then provide a quick, hands-on workshop demonstrating software to get you started on your own project. For those interested in developing the skills introduced here, a week-long bootcamp will be offered in December (details TBA).
If youd like to follow along with the tutorial on your own laptop, please download or register for the following software prior to the workshop: Mapbox (free version of the web application); Sketchup Make

Wednesday November 29:
Virtual Machines @ Rice, with John Mulligan and Clinton Heider.

Virtual machines” are simulations of operating systems run on large servers; they allow users to run any number of processes, like web apps or computational jobs. The CRC is building capacity to provide this service to Rice researchers; in this workshop, we will introduce to you the concept of virtualization and some uses of virtual machines. We will show you how to use virual machine services at Rice, and walk you through a step-by-step example of launching a web-based application.
Bring your laptop!

Talk by Spencer Keralis on Disrupting Student Labor in the Digital Humanities Classroom March 3, 2016 / lspiro / 0 Comments

The Rice Digital Humanities group is pleased to present:

Spencer Keralis
Disrupting Student Labor in the Digital Humanities Classroom
Friday, March 11
11 a.m.- 12 p.m.
Fondren 410

Abstract: Crowdsourcing labor and crowdfunding capital are two pillars of the new innovation economy. While these models have worked well for projects ranging from citizen science to music production, bringing crowd-think into the academy, and particularly the classroom, can be ethically fraught. Digital humanities pedagogy involving students contributing to faculty projects or producing durable work products is particularly vulnerable to abuse and misuse. Based on my contribution to the forthcoming Disrupting the Digital Humanities collection, I will offer a critique of these practices and offer ideas on how to avoid ethical pitfalls.

Bio: Spencer D. C. Keralis is Research Associate Professor and Digital Humanities Coordinator with the Public Services Division of the University of North Texas Libraries. Spencer is the Founding Director of Digital Frontiers, a conference and community that brings together the makers and users of digital resources for humanities research, teaching, and learning. Spencer is Principal Investigator for the TX-Gender Project for Libraries, which seeks to improve library services for transgender patrons, and he is currently chair of the Texas Library Association GLBT Roundtable. His work has appeared in Book History, American Periodicals, and the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) reports The Problem of Data (2012) and Research Data Management: Principles, Practices, and Prospects (2013). His recent research on labor ethics in digital humanities pedagogy is forthcoming in the Punctum Books collection Disrupting the Digital Humanities (2016), and he is curating the keyword “Labor” for Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments (MLA, 2016). He has held a Mellon Fellowship at the Library Company of Philadelphia, a Legacy Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society, and served as a CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Academic Libraries with the University of North Texas Libraries.

Tara McPherson Talk on 12/3: D[igital] H[umanities] by Design November 30, 2015 / lspiro / 0 Comments D[igital] H[umanities] by Design

Tara McPherson

Thursday, December 3, 2015
4:00 P.M.
Sewall 309, Rice University
(A reception will follow; no need to RSVP.)

Many view the Digital Humanities (DH) as a scientific and quantitative endeavor, intent on blending computer science and humanities traditions. What if we instead imagined the origin story for DH to emerge from the intersection of the arts and the interpretative humanities? This talk will mine that alternative lineage and explore a series of digital projects that take their inspiration not from the sciences but from feminism, experimental aesthetics and social justice movements.

Tara McPherson is Associate Professor of Critical Studies at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts and Founding Editor of Vectors, a multimedia peer-reviewed journal affiliated with the Open Humanities Press.

This event is sponsored by the John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Cultures, titled Platforms of Knowledge in a Wide Web of Worlds: Production, Participation, and Politics, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. For more information, please refer to the Seminar’s website.
