Humanizing Data on the Prairies – a Digital Humanities Conference

The Humanities Research Institute and Creative Technologies (Faculty of Media+Art+Performance) invite you to this 1-day conference that presents research and discussion on methods for humanizing data. The conference will showcase how researchers in the digital humanities are applying an array of creative methods for engaging with data in intuitive and engaging ways. Presenters will relay projects that communicate Prairie-based data within a global network infrastructure. During this day-long conversation we will unpick layers of locality, space and place through the lens of visualizing and interpreting data sets and look at how researchers are innovatively digging into patterns, mapping and teasing out stories from varied information sources, banks and collections. Among the many University of Regina researchers speaking, please join us for talks by Ben Dalton, Principal Lecturer, Leeds Becket University and Dr. Shawn Graham, Associate Professor at Carleton University.
