Digital Media Lab public event

16 November 2023, 14.00-15.30, room 42.1-06

In an era of closing APIs, data may instead be obtained via the users of digital platforms. The cooperative consultancy firm, Analyse & Tal, has used data donation methods to gauge how much personal information is stored by big tech. The AlterUse research project at RUC deploys web tracking as another way of involving users in data collection. Come and hear about two different methods for user-involved data-making and the related ethical questions.

Presenters:
Sarah Steinitz and Edin Lind Ikanovic, Analyse & Tal
Eva Mayerhöffer and Jakob Bæk Kristensen, Roskilde University

Digital Media Lab public event 12 October 2023, 13.00-14.30, lokale 42.1-01, Roskilde Universitet

Danmarks Statistik skaber løbende nye, strukturerede data om digitaliseringen i Danmark, der bl.a. kan fungere som et vigtigt ’reality check’ for analyser af mere ustrukturerede data fra internettet. Vi får besøg af to repræsentanter fra netop Danmarks Statistik, der fortæller om deres arbejde på digitaliseringsområdet, og som også gerne vil have input fra forskningsmiljøerne i forhold til vores behov og interesser fremadrettet.

Oplægsholdere: Agnes Tassy og Claus Werner Andersen, Danmarks Statistik

Digital Media Lab event 20th April 2023, 11.30-12.45 in room 42.1-01, Roskilde University

Guest speaker: Anders Koed Madsen, Associate Professor & Head of Experiments, TANTLab, Aalborg University

An increasing number of scholars and students in the humanities and social sciences (SSH) are interested in what they can do with digital data and digital methods. At the same time, it can be challenging to pinpoint what skills must be honed to engage fruitfully with data from digital media. From coding via database management to visualisation and ethics, the requirements can seem wide-ranging and daunting. In this lab session, we set out to collectively understand and map the hands-on skill set that is key to get started with digital SSH. We have invited the Head of Experiments at TANTLab, Anders Koed Madsen, who has worked extensively with digital methods teaching and research. Anders will tell us about his experiences to get us started mapping the digital SSH skill set, which we can then continue to cultivate together in the Digital Media Lab at RUC.
