Interested in DH but unsure of where to start? This sandbox session gives attendees the opportunity to gain hands-on skills with a new digital tool. Choose between Tableau (data analysis and visualization software) and Voyant (a web-based application for textual analysis), then join the corresponding breakout room and explore how these tools can add a new dimension to your research and teaching. 

Both sessions are beginner-friendly and entirely virtual. Facilitators will teach their groups through interactive activities on each platform. This is a hands-on session so be ready to participate and try new things!

This session is co-led by two facilitators: Geraldine Castel (Associate Professor of British Studies, Universite Grenoble Alpes) will teach attendees about Tableau. Devon Mordell (Educational Developer, Paul R. MacPherson Institute) will teach attendees about Voyant Tools. 

* Please note that an earlier version of this event included a session on Omeka which has now been cancelled. If you would like more information about Omeka, please view resources on the Sherman Centre's Online Learning page: Online Learning | Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship (scds.ca)

** More details about preparation work (i.e. downloading programs) and specific workshop schedules will be provided closer to June 22. Registrants will be contacted via email.

*** This event will be run virtually, however a limited number of Tableau workshop participants are welcome to join the facilitators at the Sherman Centre's open space. If you would like to attend in-person, please select the "In-Person Registration" option and be sure to wear a mask on the day of the event.
