About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

We invite KCL Arts and Humanities Faculty staff and PGRs to attend this free training organised by Digital Skills in Arts and Humanities (DISKAH) project and hosted by the Digital Humanities & Research Software Engineering Summer School. Very limited spaces are available so booking is essential and it is first-come, first-served.

Instructor/Trainer: Anisa Hawes, Publishing Manager Programming Historian


Programming Historian in English, en español, en français, and em português are four multilingual, Diamond Open Access journals of article-length lessons on digital techniques and workflows. Our lessons support students and academics to learn effective research methods, and also help educators to teach tomorrow’s researchers. This workshop will introduce you to the journals, explaining how our lessons can empower your next steps in learning the practical skills you’ll need to work with data. We’ll highlight lessons that could help you develop the skills you’ll need during your research, discuss troubleshooting strategies for overcoming obstacles, and think together about the value of peer-to-peer support and building a community around you as you work. This training can be attended as a standalone session, but will be followed-up with a webinar later in the year that focuses on how to approach writing about technical methods and guides researchers in the development of a lesson proposal for Programming Historian.


Please note: there are no spaces available to attend the rest of the Digital Humanities & Research Software Engineering Summer School.
