New! Digital Tools for Humanities Research
Faculty "Lunch & Learn" Session on Nov. 2nd
When: Monday, November 2nd, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Where: Dresher Center for the Humanities (216 PAHB)
This session will introduce several of the digital tools being used by UMBC humanities faculty for their research, which can be employed across the disciplines. A light lunch will be provided.
Presentations:
Zotero and Scrivener
Meredith Oyen, History
Zotero is a free reference management software program that can be used both for research and for teaching. It is particularly useful for organizing, sorting, and sharing sources and projects between writing partners or groups. Scrivener is a writing platform particularly useful for organizing, drafting, and revising long-form writing in the humanities and social sciences. Dr. Oyen will demonstrate some of the advantages of using both with samples from her own work.
Adobe Premiere Pro, Excel, and Atlas.ti
Ed Larkey, Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication
Dr. Larkey works with digital tools in his cross-cultural comparative analyses of international television series. He is currently using Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Microsoft Excel, Atlas,ti, MultiModal Analysis, and Cinemetrics to compile, correlate, and visualize quantitative and qualitative data related to temporal parameters on narrative structure, sequences, and content. The session will be of interest to faculty doing research in anthropology, cultural studies, ethnography, discourse analysis, and audiovisual analysis.

The Dresher Center invites applications for new Faculty Working Groups in the Humanities. Faculty Working Groups are collaborative, interdisciplinary communities of scholars working on humanities projects, research concerns, or matters of public interest. The Dresher Center provides support for the formation and first-year activities of these groups in an effort to promote intellectual exchange and support research activities in the humanities among scholars across campus. Working groups meet regularly and may also use their funds to travel to sites or archives, host speakers, explore technologies, create new resources or materials, or other similar activities.
Faculty Working Groups can apply for up to $1,000 in annual support ($500 per semester) for their first-year activities. Priority will be given to groups with at least one member from a humanities department.
Deadlines for best consideration are November 1, 2015 for groups beginning in spring 2016 and April 1, 2016 for groups beginning in fall 2016.
To download an application and to find out about current Faculty Working Groups, visit: http://dreshercenter.umbc.edu/scholarly-resources/faculty-working-groups-in-the-humanities/
