Oral History, audio-visual materials and Digital Humanities: a new ‘grand cha...UCL
Oral historians have long recognised that voice and gesture can communicate information, knowledge, emotion and interpretation in ways that text cannot. Indeed, oral history artefacts can be studied not only for the words they contain but also for features like interjections, gestures and silences that can, among other things, contain clues about an interviewee’s emotional state. Nevertheless, it can be argued that this process has not gone as far as is necessary, as Frisch has put it “Everyone knows that the core audio-visual dimension of oral history is notoriously underutilized” (Frisch 2006 p.102)
Technological developments---often based on advances made in the Digital Humanities community involving structured and semantic markup---have opened up a plethora of new ways to process audio-visual materials.
However, it is notable that these methods continue to privilege largely text-based approaches to Oral History; after all, what is meta-data but natural language codes inserted into a text in order to make explicit its meaning or constituent parts? Methods being developed in other fields that have, as yet, seen relatively little take up in Digital Humanities, for example, image and facial recognition, acoustic approaches to sentiment analysis, 3D imaging and modelling, digital narratology and storytelling etc offer methodologies that could be fruitfully brought to bear on the capture and especially the analysis of such sources. Not only might such approaches offer new interpretative strategies---that are neither founded upon nor predominately focused upon text---for engaging with audio-visual materials, but they could contribute to a more thorough and sustained reassessment of the dominance of the ‘written’ word in fields like Digital Humanities and Oral history. This paper will explore the possibilities for Oral History researchers that such developments might open up.
Digitisation initiatives began due to long term preservation concerns. Questions concerning their impact have now come to the fore: “The measurable outcomes arising from the existence of a digital resource that demonstrate a change in the life or life opportunities of the community for which the resource is intended.” Jewish and Israeli digital resources can now be enhanced with relevant encyclopedias and controlled vocabularies through a LOD approach. The resulting knowledge grid can help bridge the gap between the digital resources and the knowledge of the intended communities of users. It will expand their application in narratives, scholarly research, higher education, K12, cultural tourism, genealogy and more.

Space, The Final Frontier: Next Generation Special CollectionsElaine Harrington
Paper presentation at HEAnet National Conference 2017: Digital Transformation for Education & Research
In 2016 UCC launched an internal funding call to enable next generation learning spaces across the campus. UCC Library's Special Collections spatial design is optimised both for environmental standards (BSI PD5454) and for users examining items in this controlled environment. However there are pedagogical limits to this type of spatial design; limits which correspond to changes in Special Collections' teaching and learning trends in the last decade. Special Collections have moved away from ‘show and tell’ presentations to a more conscious engagement with academics, as evidenced by Bahde et al. and Mitchell et al. At UCC such a trend has manifested in undergraduates and postgraduates alike using Special Collections in new ways, including research-led teaching on early printed books and Irish language manuscripts, and a focus on online public engagement (Harrington, 2015 and 2017).
In this presentation, I address how this known spatial design obstacle is mitigated through the use of various existing technologies: GIS, 3D printing, social media, document camera, microscope and iPads. Using these technologies on a pilot-basis not just as stand-alone tools but also in combination with each other means that within the Special Collections' environment they are used in an innovative manner. The combination of using traditional reference sources including manuscript bibliographies and catalogues, almanacs, directories, maps and existing digitised collections such as Irish Script on Screen and Early English Books Online with these innovative tools mean content and use of material are reshaped and the combination ensures that students gain critical thinking and analytical skills in relation to a variety of formats.
I demonstrate how such technologies are used by focusing on the fruitful collaborative modules and projects between Special Collections and various UCC departments: English, Music, History and Irish, who each have embraced the ethos of using technology to drive engagement and engagement to drive the use of technology. This is in order to provide a rich user learning experience and for students to understand that there is a potential for multiple points of inquiry. This symbiotic relationship between the judicious horizon scanning of technologies and equipment and the desire to optimise different pedagogical methodologies ensures that Special Collections continues to function as an experimental “lab for the humanities” as well as providing best-practice evidence for adapting existing spatial design models.

FemTechNet is a network of international scholars and artists activated by Alexandra Juhasz and Anne Balsamo to design, implement, and teach the first DOCC (Distributed Online Collaborative Course), a feminist rethinking of the MOOC. The course, Feminist Dialogues on Technology, will be offered in fifteen classrooms, at least one in every continent, in the Fall of 2013. This project uses technology to enable interdisciplinary and international conversation while privileging situated diversity and networked agency. Building the course on a shared set of recorded dialogues with the world’s preeminent thinkers and artists who consider technology through a feminist lens, the rest of the course will be built, and customized for the network’s local classrooms and communities, by network members who submit and evaluate Boundary Objects that Learn—the course’s basic pedagogic instruments.
FemTechNet invites interested scholars and artists to join this project and help build this course. In this seminar, Alexandra Juhasz and Anne Balsamo discuss how this innovative project got started, explore the model of distributed online collaborative courses, and lead a discussion of how FemTechNet or similar courses might fit within the liberal arts curriculum.
Speakers
Alexandra Juhasz, Professor of Media Studies, Pitzer College, and Anne Balsamo, Dean of the School of Media Studies, New School for Public Engagement (New York).

Let's Go on a Bear Hunt: Special Collections in the WildElaine Harrington
Case Study presentation given at "Evolving Identities: Collaboration to Enhance Student Success" National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education, Dundalk IT, 23 May 2019.
What is the barrier to researching in Special Collections? Is the process akin to going on a bear hunt? Can you go through it? If you learn how to do this then the achievements and opportunities for student success can be immense. Student success can be gauged in terms of internal departmental or university awards, or external awards and funding. Equally student success can be gauged by public engagement outputs, the reach and impact of such outputs and the skills learned. This presentation examines a number of different interactions with Special Collections borne out of conversations 2013-2019.
The Long and the Short of it:a history of Social MachinesDavid De Roure
Talk for the Digital Approaches in Medieval and Renaissance Studies workshop, at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School 2015. Presented 24 July 2015 in St Anne's College, Oxford.
This talk was co-presented with David De Roure at a Digital Research Cluster workshop at Wolfson College, Oxford, 18 June 2018: The Isaiah Berlin Digital Archive: A test case for the development of on-line research resources (https://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/event/isaiah-berlin-digital-archive-test-case-development-line-research-resources).
This talk, Experimental Humanities: the case study of Lovelace and Babbage, was presented at the Digital Practices in the Humanities Software Sustainability Institute workshop (https://www.software.ac.uk/dphw), organized by the Oxford e-Research Centre and the Bodleian Libraries' Centre for Digital Scholarship at the University of Oxford, UK, 21 June 2018. The workshop's agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeJyQW4wuX88v8LyEAQObjp4-4HEcHpgjRkZV-0aczk/edit.
The talk was based on collaborative work with David De Roure as part of:

“The undiscover’d country”: digital special collections, scholarship, scale, and society
For decades scholars have been using digital technologies to discover, locate, and view libraries' special collections. Increasingly these collections are available online, and their readers come from far beyond the academy, everywhere that people have access to the internet. Use of online resources is driven by curiosity and pleasure, as well as research. Digital tools and technologies with these collections—record, image, text—speed up traditional enquiry and enable entirely new questions to be imagined and answered. This talk gives a broad overview of the field, illustrated by case studies from the Bodleian Digital Library.
This talk was given as a Friends of the Bodleian public lecture, in the Weston Library, University of Oxford, 1 December 2015.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
