Hi all,

 

You might be interested in two upcoming webinars, details, including registration information below:

 

DH Lab: Text analysis and humanities @ University of Adelaide 

Thursday 12 August, 1.00 to 2.00pm, online

Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/161188598437

Text analysis helps researchers in humanities, computer science and maths uncover and analyse new patterns or relationships in collections of text, leading to new avenues of research, and gives us different perspectives on meaning and content. Come along to this webinar to hear about analysis of sentiment in historic war diaries, mixed methods approaches to analyzing publication patterns, and a new online platform that will support text analysis for researchers across disciplines.

Speakers:
Ashley Dennis-Henderson is undertaking a Ph.D in applied mathematics and a Diploma of Arts (History). Her research involves investigating the use of natural language processing techniques on historical war diaries.

Professor Rachel A Ankeny, History and Philosophy, University of Adelaide, researches food studies, history and philosophy of the biological and biomedical sciences, and bioethics. Rachel uses a variety of textual analysis methods for several of her ongoing projects.

Professor Michael Haugh and Dr Martin Schweinberger, Linguistics and Applied Linguistics in the School of Languages and Cultures at the University of Queensland. Michael and Martin are developing the Language Technology and Data Analytics Lab (LADAL),  and the Australian Text Analytics Platform (ATAP), new pieces of research infrastructure aimed at empowering text analysis through integration of data, tools, and learning materials.

 

DH Lab: Network analysis and humanities @ University of Adelaide

Wednesday 15 September, 11.30am to 12.30pm, online

Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/161191477047

Network analysis helps researchers in humanities and other disciplines uncover patterns in data, including historical records, text including novels and other creative works, social media, and even particles in the Large Hadron Collider.  It can prompt new research questions or generate representations of data that share research outcomes or encourage collaboration. Come along to this webinar to hear about network analysis in history, theatre and performance studies, and particle physics.

Speakers:
Dr Gareth Pritchard, School of Humanities, University of Adelaide, is a historian of twentieth-century Europe with a particular interest in the social and political history of the 1940s, he is currently working on a monograph entitled Power and Violence in the 1940s, which explores the impact of World War II on the micropolitics of power relations.

Associate Professor Jonathan Bollen, Theatre and Performance Studies, School of Arts and Media, UNSW Sydney, researches performance, mobility and desire. In addition to publishing books on Variety in the Asia Pacific, the global history of Ibsen's A Doll's House, and masculinities in Australian theatre, Jonathan has published on data models for theatre research and contributed to AusStage, IbsenStage and the Philippine Performance Archive.

Associate Professor Martin White, School of Physical Sciences, University of Adelaide, is a particle astrophysicist, using searches in astrophysics and particle physics experiments to find and test new theories of what the universe is made of and how it came to be. He has recently developed novel network analysis techniques for discovering new particles at the Large Hadron Collider.

 

Cheers,

Alexis
