The TLC has new upcoming events for March! These are always evolving processes. We’ll use this blog post to consistently update when new news of events come our way. Check back here for more information, but also check our Upcoming Workshops page for direct links to registration and also an events calendar.
What were once elective digital research methods have now become critical tools in a variety of professional settings. Join us for a series of 1-hour conversational and hands-on workshops in which we will introduce you to different digital humanities research methods and tools—including mapping, data visualization, and text analysis—and their pedagogical and professional potentials. The first half of the workshop will be discussion based. After covering theoretical, ethical, and practical concerns related to the research method and tool, we will offer a hands-on demonstration.
Mapping and Critical Cartography |
|
What are some of the exciting ways that academics and professionals are using mapping in their research and teaching? How are critical scholars employing maps to challenge hegemonic perspectives? What mapping tools exist and how can you start using them? Join us for a discussion and hands-on demonstration that will address all of these questions. |
Text Analysis 101 |
What is text analysis? How can it improve students’ critical reading skills? What are some ready-to-use tools that you can deploy in the classroom or for your research?
Join us for a discussion and hands-on demonstration that will address all of these questions.

Empowering Learning with Open Educational Resources and Digital Publications: A conversation with Allison Levy (Director for Brown University Digital Publications) |
As CUNY scales up its commitment to Open Educational Resources and its ability to support digital publications through the CUNY Open Press project, we are delighted to announce that Allison Levy, Director of Brown University Digital Publications, will join us for a conversation on her experience working with researchers, teachers, and authors to develop a range of free and accessible digital publications that enable a richer pedagogy for students with different learning styles.
Allison Levy is Director for Brown University Digital Publications. Serving in this role since 2017, she brings together key organizational, academic, and technological resources across the University to support new forms of faculty-driven scholarship, namely, born-digital, longform, multimodal works intended for publication by a university press. Beyond the Brown campus, she spearheads efforts at the industry level to advance the conversation around the development, evaluation, and publication of digital scholarship in the humanities. Levy, who holds a PhD in history of art from Bryn Mawr College, has served as founding editor of two scholarly book series and currently serves as co-chair of the College Art Association’s Committee on Research and Scholarship.
The Do’s and Don’ts of Data Visualization |
How can data visualizations enhance your research and teaching? What are common hurdles to avoid? What tools exist and why would you want to use one over another?
Join us for a discussion and hands-on demonstration that will address all of these questions.
From Traditional Assignments to Digital Storytelling Projects |
What opportunities for experiential learning does digital storytelling offer? How can different digital tools be deployed to teach students transferable skills through storytelling? How do I convert a traditional assignment into a storytelling project?
Join us for a discussion and hands-on demonstration that will address all of these questions.
