We will continue our Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities workshop series with a morning-long, hands-on primer to some basic computing skills used in the DH. In addition to offering an opportunity to review topics covered in our Fall 2023 workshop, this session will introduce textual analysis, mining and visualization; and databases, including concepts such as structured data, SQL, and exploring data.
Together we will work to share the kinds of knowledge, data, methods, and research questions we encounter in our own disciplines, and to cultivate a community of practice and practitioners in the digital humanities.
This session does not assume any prior knowledge of digital humanities experience and is suitable for all skills levels. Registration is free and open to faculty, staff, and graduate students. This workshop will only be conducted in person.
Please contact the Higgins School of Humanities at HigginsSchool@clarku.edu or (508) 793-7479 with questions.

“Share the Platform: Collaborative Strategies for Refugee Integration in Academia”
Speakers: Alfred Babo & Anita Fábos, Co-Founders of Share the Platform
This event has ended, but you can watch the recording.
For the Spring ‘24 semester, the Belonging Talks center on the theme of “Co-Creating Workforce Integration and Belonging for Refugees and Communities.” Our speakers explore topics related to sustainability and inclusivity for refugees in the workforce and in communities.
Clark University SSJ professor, Anita Fábos, will be joined by colleague and Fairfield University professor, Alfred Babo, to present about the Share the Platform initiative they started in 2019. The mission of Share the Platform is to “center the expertise of refugees to improve policy, programs, and practice.” They will converse about strategies for those of non-refugee backgrounds to better advocate for and “share the platform” with fellow colleagues from refugee backgrounds, including a discussion of best practices from a refugee perspective. To learn more, check out https://www.sharetheplatform.org/.
Moderators: Leora Kahn & Craig Mortley, Co-Convenors of Share the Platform
This event is hosted by the Integration and Belonging Hub at Clark University as part of the Belonging Talks Speaker Series, and is co-sponsored by the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice and the School of Professional Studies.
