Humanities has Data! Whatever Next!?

Research data management is becoming increasingly important in research, both to ensure funder compliance, but also as part of best practice for research; with the potential to increase reach, impact and, for open data, re-use. But ‘data’ in the Humanities may be difficult to define. This panel discussion will delve into research data in various discipline-specific contexts, looking at how research data are defined and how to manage research data effectively.

What you will need:

Open Scholarship: Fundamentals of Open Access

Are you baffled by open, confused by embargoes? Does the mention of the colour gold or green catapult you into a realm of perplexed irritation? Come to this session, where we’ll break down open access and all its many jargon terms, confusing publishing structures and hint at the advantages you can reap by publishing open.

Intended Audience: Researchers, other academic staff, administrative staff, library staff, all Oxford students including post-graduate, and members of the OUH Trust.

Carina Uchida

Carina Uchida is a DPhil candidate in International Relations based at Pembroke College, University of Oxford. Her doctorate project explores the role of social reproduction and gendered divisions of labour in armed rebel organisations, with a particular focus on Latin America's left-leaning rebellions. On a more theoretical level, they examine the limitations of traditional philosophies of labour, the relationship between care and freedom, and what it means to care for each other under conditions of political instability and violence.

Guest talk from the UK Information Commissioner

We would like to invite you to attend a lecture delivered by John Edwards, the UK Information Commissioner, hosted by the Oxford Internet Institute.
