Digital Research Skills in an Arts and Humanities PhD
19th Feb 2018
Date and Time: 19th February 2018, 9:30am - 4:30pm.
Venue: Room 09 LB 05 – Doctoral College, 5th Floor Library, University of Surrey
How can digital skills enhance the craft of Arts and Humanities research?
This one-day workshop will show how specific software packages (including Zotero, Scrivener, and Evernote) can help you achieve such tasks as managing your bibliographic references, writing your thesis, and capturing your research. It will also enable you to explore and discuss how social media, such as Twitter and Academic.edu can be used to promote your research and enhance your profile as a researcher.
This is likely to be of interest to TECHNE students in a number of disciplines in either the first or second years of their PhD.
The workshop will be led by Dr Catherine Pope. Catherine is freelance trainer and academic who holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Sussex (on the Victorian novelist Florence Marryat), and runs writing and training events at a number of institutions. She has also taught nineteenth-century literature at the University of Brighton. Before becoming an academic, Catherine worked for 12 years as a web developer and IT manager.
Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
