10 December: CDCS Annual Lecture
by Jessica Witte 19 Nov '25

19 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, Please join us on 10 December for the Centre for Data, Culture & Society Annual Lecture which will be given by Dorothy Berry, Digital Curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. When: 10 December, 16.00-18.30 GMT Where: Room 2.55, 1 Lauriston Place, The University of Edinburgh and online Title: How Users Imagine Archival Research: JPCA Explore and Digital Curation at the Smithsonian National African American History and Culture Museum Abstract: In 2021, the National Museum of African American History and Culture created a first-of-its-kind position at the Smithsonian Institution: a senior level curator with the wide-ranging portfolio of “digital interpretation.” Filling this position has called for creative education, especially when working with curatorial colleagues with a range of experiences and interests in digital humanities. In the past year, we’ve had a unique opportunity to introduce the possibilities of digital discoveries internally through the JPCA Explore project. The Johnson Publishing Company Archive (JPCA) is the largest collection of 20th century African American publishing materials, including a core collection of over 3 million photographs.  The JPCA was purchased in 2019 by a consortium of funders - the Ford Foundation, the J. Paul Getty Trust, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Smithsonian Institution. Since 2022, it has been formally co-stewarded by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and Getty. JPCA Explore is an experimental discovery lens in the larger in-development JPCA digital eco-system.  Based on a hand-selected subset of 3,000 images, Explore uses a bespoke metadata schema to invite users with zero research experience to create their own discovery paths by selecting inter-connected images. Explore was designed with an eye towards how the general public imagines archival discovery-moving from file to file, noticing connections, discovering the unknown. It has also served as an internal education tool, demonstrating the possibilities of digital humanities work as well as the intensive resources that are required to make those possibilities real. This talk will focus on the development of JPCA Explore and how it reflects wider issues around creating human-scale digital projects that still represent the magnitude of larger collections. By creating an interface with a focus on archival discovery, and at the same time completely ignoring archival hierarchical structures, this project seeks to implement Black Digital Humanities concepts to create new avenues into this archive. Please note that this will be a hybrid event. For those attending in person, there will be festive refreshments and a chance to network after the event.

by valentina.pasqual2＠unibo.it 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

To whom it may concern, Apologies for cross posting, As a member of the University of Bologna team involved in the LUMEN project, I am pleased to share the following invitation from the LUMEN <https://lumenproject.eu/> team to take part in one or more workshops within a crucial co-design initiative: the LUMEN Co-Designing Workshop Series <https://lumenproject.eu/learn-connect-innovate-co-designing-workshop-serie/…>, running from October to December. Given your background in Digital Humanities practices, your perspective is highly valued. Your expertise would directly shape the outputs of the LUMEN project: LUMEN is developing a new, collaborative open-science discovery platform, and we are seeking expert input from researchers across Social Sciences & Humanities, Mathematics, Molecular Dynamics, and Earth Systems to shape its functionality directly. This series is structured to be highly interactive and productive, offering a direct opportunity to influence the design of practical research tools. Rather than passive seminars, these sessions are collaborative efforts to co-design features such as advanced search capabilities, sophisticated recommendation engines, and data visualisation features. Your contributions will ensure the new platform aligns with the real needs of active researchers. The workshops are concise (two hours each) and will be conducted virtually, allowing for flexible participation. The topics of the workshops that will be conducted are: - Visualisation & Data Representation Tools - Recommendation & Personalisation - Interdisciplinary Resource Discovery - Data Mesh - Data Integration & Interoperability - Advanced Search & Filtering Capabilities - LUMEN Chatbot - Meta-Search & Discovery Tools - Updating the User Profile - Software Tools Catalogue - Educational Resources & Training Modules - Data Quality & Metadata Management If you are interested in influencing directly the next generation of European research infrastructure, please review the session details and register your interest here: https://lumenproject.eu/learn-connect-innovate-co-designing-workshop-serie/ We hope you can join this important conversation.

Webinar: teaching humanities in the age of AI (11 November, 3pm GMT)
by Emily Middleton 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

Hi all, Please see below for details of an event happening next week in collaboration with Gale and *Research Information* on project-based learning with Gale Digital Scholar Lab. You can register for the webinar, taking place 11 November at 3pm GMT, here: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738439&tp_key=9c1868453f. Full info: https://www.researchinformation.info/webcast/teaching-humanities-in-the-age… Teaching Humanities in the Age of AI – 11 Nov 2025, 3pm GMT. Supported by Gale REGISTER FOR FREE <https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738439&tp_key=9c1868453f> AI is one of the biggest global challenges to education. Coming at a time when universities also face ideological attacks, and disciplines in the arts and humanities are continually asked to demonstrate their modern relevance, the explosion in the use of generative AI tools has rocked how we teach and learn. The principal challenge comes from the ease with which learners can generate plausible-looking written work. Managing this puts a significant burden on institutions to develop policies around the use of AI, and on educators themselves. Consequently, many Higher Education institutions are exploring new ways to adapt and to develop AI-resilient methods of teaching, learning and assessment. This webinar will discuss alternatives that hold great potential in the face of AI: Project Based Learning (PBL) and digital humanities techniques. Drawing on real-life classroom experiences, we’ll see how introducing PBL through *Gale Digital Scholar Lab* provides a framework for teaching which is broadly AI-resistant, helping students to use GenAI responsibly and be critical of data, as well as giving them new ways of communicating in digital environments. Who Should Attend? Educators, librarians, curriculum development staff and university leadership who are: • Concerned about AI; • Looking to work out how best to evolve assessment in the world of GenAI; • Interested in incorporating DH into their curriculum; and • Already using digital humanities in their classroom, but looking for further tips and advice. What You’ll Learn • How digital humanities and Project-Based Learning can future-proof classrooms in the face of AI; • How to use tools which help educators new to digital humanities get started quickly; • Practical solutions for classroom use; • Ways to boost student digital literacy, and responsible use of AI; • Evidence of the continuing value of traditional humanities skills; and • Ways to champion humanities departments which are looking to demonstrate their relevance. SPEAKERS: Dr Emily Middleton Lecturer in Digital Humanities, University of Leeds Drawing on Emily’s classroom experiences using the Lab, we’ll gain a clear understanding of how digital humanities and Project-Based Learning provide a framework for her students to develop important critical and digital skills to navigate the new GenAI environment effectively and ethically. Chris Houghton Head of Academic Partnerships, Gale Chris, Head of Academic Partnerships at Gale, leads initiatives to integrate digital scholarship into humanities and social science practice. He will summarise the Gen AI landscape and outline the links between AI, digital humanities, and Project-Based Learning. MODERATOR: Tim Gillett, Research Information SPONSORS: <https://www.gale.com/> Gale, part of Cengage Group, partners with librarians and educators around the world to connect learners to essential content through user-friendly technology that enhances experiences and improves learning outcomes. www.gale.com Webcast date: 11 November 2025 - 15:00
