Please forward the announcement to anyone who might be interested to apply. I'm available by email to answer any questions. warmly, Ben Marwick Call for applications for faculty/staff to lead a student group The Interdisciplinary Minor in Data Science at UW (https://dataminor.uw.edu/) is organizing a ?Humanities Data Science Summer Institute,? which will pair undergraduate and graduate students with UW faculty or staff who are engaged in humanities data science research during term A of Summer 2023 (June 20?July 19, 2023). We are inviting applications from UW faculty and staff to participate in the HDSSI and to lead a small team of students (ideally 2 undergraduate students and 1 graduate student) in work on their own humanities data science research project. The graduate student will primarily serve as a mentor and project manager for the undergraduate students, and they will also be expected to contribute to the project. The topic of the research project is up to the faculty or staff member. The project could be part of new or existing research, or it could involve work to support a future undergraduate class that could be part of the Minor in Data Science. The ideal HDSSI project will include the following elements: collaborative work that is suitable for undergraduate students; a clearly defined research question drawn from humanities scholarship; data-intensive analysis; use of an open source programming language; and key findings that can be communicated through a combination of data visualization and narrative text. Each HDSSI project will result in a group-authored poster presentation (led by the undergraduate students) at the UW undergraduate research symposium in the following Spring. The lead faculty or staff member will be expected to manage and direct their team for a minimum of 5-10 hours per week during term A of Summer 2023. Additionally, they will be expected to conduct the majority of this work onsite and in-person (ideally at the WRF Data Science Studio on UW?s Seattle campus). Graduate students will be expected to work a minimum of 15-20 hours per week, and undergraduate students will be expected to work 20 hours per week. The successful faculty or staff applicant will receive one month of salary and benefits. Graduate students will receive an RA appointment and supervision from the faculty/staff mentor. Undergraduate students will receive a $2000 fellowship and independent study credit. Please submit the following to bmarwick@uw.edu by 15 Jan 2022: ?

We are inviting applications from UW graduate students to collaborate with a faculty or staff member on their research project and to serve as a mentor and project manager for a small team of 2-3 undergraduate students who will also be working on the project. The topic of the research projects will be determined by the faculty/staff supervisor for the research group. Projects will answer a clearly defined research question drawn from humanities scholarship, involve data-intensive analysis, use an open source programming language, and include key findings that can be communicated through a combination of data visualization and narrative text. Given the nature of this work, experience with a widely used programming language like Python or R is preferred. The successful applicant is expected to contribute to a group-authored poster presentation (led by the undergraduate students) at the UW undergraduate research symposium in the following Spring. Graduate students will be expected to manage their teams and contribute to the project for a minimum of 15-20 hours per week during term A of Summer 2023.

URL: From histadv at uw.edu Thu Dec 15 08:07:30 2022 From: histadv at uw.edu (HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS) Date: Sun Mar 24 10:43:38 2024 Subject: [Histmaj] Two Cool History Classes in Winter 2023 Message-ID: Good morning Historians- I wanted to point out two classes in Winter quarter that might be of interest to you, HSTRY 201A and HSTCMP/JSIS B 408. See below for more information about each. Cheers, Mark *********************** HSTRY 201A History Lecture Series Colloquium "Medieval Made Modern." (2 cr., Th 1200PM-120PM, taught by Prof. Robin Chapman Stacey) This 2-credit, C/NC colloquium is designed to be taken in conjunction with the History Lecture Series for Winter of 2023, "Medieval Made Modern." Both the series and the colloquium are focused on the ongoing reinterpretation of characters from the European Middle Ages. "Medievalism," as it is called in academic circles, is a hot topic nowadays. As a culture, we are literally surrounded by symbols and images taken from the medieval period, as is evident from the multi-genre popularity of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Martin's Game of Thrones. However, we not alone in this. Theologians, politicians, artists and advertisers have been reimagining the Middle Ages ever since 1500 CE, when the medieval period is usually regarded as having ended. We are, in fact, the beneficiaries of literally centuries of reinterpreting the period and its inhabitants-to such an extent indeed that the Middle Ages to which we are responding often bears little resemblance to what the medieval persons in question would recognize as their own experience. Further information about the Lecture Series can be found here. ****************************************** HSTCMP 408/JSIS B 408 "Capitalist Crises in Historical Perspective." (5 cr., SSc, WF 1030AM-1220 PM) Taught by Prof. Mark Metzler. This course explores selected topics in the history of capitalism in a global, multi-century perspective. Winter 2023 Course Topic: Capitalist Crises in Historical Perspective We live in an age of colossal financial bubbles and crashes. History has tremendous power to clarify these events. This course begins by looking at the globalized economic crises in the late 19th century and then surveys the world depression of the 1930s. The remainder of the course surveys the crises from the 1970s to the present. Along the way, we also look at some classic theories of crisis. The course concludes with a fast-research project focused on an aspect of the current economic crisis or on a selected historical crisis. Graduate students will conclude with a longer paper on an aspect of economic crisis that intersects with their own research program. The course follows an in-person format and is primarily seminar (discussion) based with some lecture material intermixed. Please be prepared to participate actively in presentation and discussion work. Learning goals: 1. Deeper understanding of long-run tendencies and of medium- and short-term dynamics of capitalism as an international system. 2. Deeper understanding of global history in its economic dimensions. Familiarization with some influential theoretical approaches to the subject. 3. Specific understanding of historical economic crises, their causes and effects, including the great depression of the 1930s, the international crises of the late 20th century, and the global economic crisis of 2007-08. 4. Professionalization of writing, presentation, and research skills, coached by an instructor who has written and edited dozens of books and articles in the academic world and in private industry. Prerequisites: You'll need a strong commitment to learning about international economic topics, but the class is non-technical and does not require a background in academic economics.
