[Air-L] Invitation to Inclusive Data Skills Hackathon

[Zoetanya Sujon]

Dear AoIR colleagues,



Calling all London / UK based AoIR members - you, interested colleagues and
your students are warmly invited to join us for an *Inclusive Data Skills
Hackathon* on Jan 26, 10:00-17:00. The event is free, but registration
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/inclusive-data-research-skills-hackathon-for-arts-and-humanities-dares-tickets-773759223667?aff=ebdssbdestsearch>
is
required.


As part of the DAReS project
<https://www.arts.ac.uk/colleges/london-college-of-communication/research-at-lcc/dares>,
the Hackathon aims to collectively hack key challenges around new digitally
oriented skills and methods in arts and humanities research, such as:

   - What data and digital research skills are most relevant for those in
   arts and humanities researchers?
   - What kinds of thinking, epistemologies and colonial practices come
   with data tools, skills and methods? How can we engage decolonial
   approaches to data for arts and humanities?
   - What value do data and digital research have in relation to broader
   research journeys - from planning to research impact?
   - How can these challenges be met in inclusive ways which account for
   diverse perspectives?



These challenges arise from 8 months of co-design work with marginalised
and underrepresented arts and humanities researchers working on a data and
digital research skills curriculum. To meet these challenges, we will work
together to better understand these challenges for inclusive engagement and
problem-solving.



You and interested colleagues or students are warmly invited to join
us. Please see the Eventbrite link for more information and for free
registration:

A little more about the DAReS Project:

The project places diversity and inclusion as important preconditions for
innovation and high quality research, and applies these priorities to
digital research skills development and training. We are working to
transform known gaps into opportunities for inclusive practice enabling
game-changer solutions, artistic practice, and impactful, high-quality
research in arts and humanities. The DAReS project is a collaboration
between the University of the Arts London (London College of Communication
and Creative Computing Institute), Leeds University, King's College London,
Roehampton University and partners, CRAC/Vitae and Wikimedia UK.
