Workshop 2: Research Data Management for Humanities Researchers Led by Shahira Khair ( @uvic.ca Libraries) and Sandra Sawchuk (Mount Saint Vincent University Libraries)

screenshot of text: Workshop Option 2: "Research Data Management for Humanities Researchers"
Instructors:
Shahira Khair, University of Victoria Libraries
Sandra Sawchuck, Mount Saint Vincent Libraries

This intensive four-day hands-on workshop is designed for humanities researchers who want to actively apply best practices in research data management in their own research projects. Recognizing the unique and diverse nature of humanities data—from digitized texts and images, to audio recordings and cultural artifacts—the workshop provides practical, actionable strategies across the entire research data lifecycle, from initial planning to long-term preservation and reuse.

This is a “bring your own data” workshop! Participants should arrive with the research materials they are seeking help in managing. This can be from an existing project or one you are just embarking on! (And we can point you in some directions if you are looking for data!)

Screenshot of text: Participants will gain proficiency in developing comprehensive Data Management Plans (DMPs), essential for navigating funder requirements (e.g. SSHRC, NEH) and streamlining project workflows. Through practical exercises, the curriculum emphasizes effective organization and documentation of research materials, use of software for analysis and automation, and the critical role of metadata in ensuring data discoverability and long-term reusability. Sessions will cover secure storage solutions and long-term preservation techniques to safeguard valuable research materials.

A significant focus is placed on the ethical dimensions inherent in many research areas in the humanities, addressing sensitive data, informed consent, use of AI, and the crucial principles of cultural sensitivity and Indigenous data sovereignty. The workshop also guides researchers through strategic data sharing by exploring appropriate repositories (disciplinary and generalist), applying robust curation practices, and navigating licensing and persistent identifiers to maximize research impact and compliance with evolving funder and publisher requirements. Upon completion, attendees will be empowered to confidently manage, preserve, and ethically share their research, enhancing the integrity, accessibility, and scholarly impact of their work.

Workshop 1: Project Management in the Humanities Led by Dr. @jenguiliano.bsky.social (History, Indiana University)

Image of a screen cap with text: Workshop Option 1: "Project Management in the Humanities"
Instructor: Dr. Jennifer Guiliano, Professor of History, Indiana University

This workshop will explore the fundamentals of project planning and design including, but not limited to: formulating appropriate disciplinary questions for digital humanities research, investigating digital humanities tools and resources, structuring your first project, critical path scheduling, understanding roles and responsibilities, risk management, documenting your project work, writing your first grant proposal, budget setting and controls, building the project team, and selecting and implementing project management tools and software. This is an advanced workshop and, as such, you are expected to have an understanding of the definition of digital humanities. Materials will be covered through lectures, discussions, presentations, and hands-on activities. Participants will get the most of the workshop if they arrive with at least some sense of a potential digital humanities project that they would like to develop throughout the workshop.

Max Participants: 15

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: What Can the Women Do: Women and the Antigonish and Cooperatives Movement. This project is a feminist historical case study on women in the Antigonish Movement & connected cooperative movements in Nova Scotia. Prin. Investigator: Dr. Robin Neustaeter Student RA: Sophie Gallant

A graphic featuring details of the research project: This research project is a feminist historical case study on women in the Antigonish Movement and connected cooperative movements in Nova Scotia. The Antigonish movement combined adult education and economic development to support people in communities to change their social and economic realities through cooperative action and learning.

A quote from Dr. Robin Neustaeter: With its connection to StFX, this study is an excellent opportunity for StFX students to build knowledge and critically think about the university where they are doing their degree. It offers a unique perspective, shifting the gaze away from the men to women, and away from the ivory tower to the communities and people in communities.

A quote from Sophie Gallant: I am so inspired by everything these women accomplished by defying the societal expectations of the early-mid 1900s and creating social and economic change.
