SUMMARY:Patrick Murray-John\, “Latent Data: How\, Where\, And Why (Digital) Humanists Discover Data Hidden In Plain Sight”
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Murray-John will argue that data and the humanities have long held a close and fruitful interrelationship. Data in humanities research is not new; it is the capacity of new technology to do more with data that creates a sense of difference\, possibility\, and even anxiety. This talk will begin by looking at centuries-old treatment of data in the humanities\, and explore how humanists are rediscovering the data in their corporations. \n\nDr. Patrick Murray-John is a Research Assistant Professor and Omeka Developer Manager at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. He has a B.S. in Mathematics from Iowa State University\, and an M.A. in English Literature and Ph.D. in Anglo-Saxon Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Besides helping to develop Omeka\, he uses it and other tools to experiment with making data part of public humanities projects. A recent project of his\, the US Museums Explorer\, an Omeka site built on data released by the Institute for Museum and Library Services\, was recently cited as an example of using open data in the Center For the Future of Museums’ “Trends Watch 2015”. \nThis event is targeted to tool developers\, researchers\, librarians\, archivists\, instructors\, and graduate students from across the UC system. The event is open to all interested and will be especially of interest to those already working in Omeka to develop digital asset libraries\, curate research material\, teach visual arts\, or cultivate digital literacies. \n  \n\nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.
