Several members of the GSLIS community gave presentations at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School, which was held on July 20-24 at the University of Oxford. Attendees followed one of eight workshops throughout the week, and attended several additional lectures and a poster session. Presenters from GSLIS included: J. Stephen Downie, professor and associate dean for research; Nushrat Khan, master’s student; Allen Renear, professor and dean; Megan Senseney, senior project coordinator for research services; and Andrea K. Thomer, doctoral student.

Downie, Senseney, and Renear spoke in the workshops series, “An Introduction to Digital Humanities.” Senseney co-organized the workshop, “Humanities Data: Curation, Analysis, Access, and Reuse,” in which she, Downie, Thomer, and Renear presented. Downie led several sessions in the workshops, “Digital Musicology.” During a peer-review poster session, Khan presented her work exploring the use of DSpace to publish and share large-scale research data.
