How can digital resources enhance the craft of Arts and Humanities research? This training day workshop will help you learn how specific software packages (such as 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 workshops will be led by Dr Catherine Pope, of the company The Digital Researcher. Catherine is a learning technologist and academic who holds a PhD in English Literature from Sussex (on the Victorian novelist Florence Marryat), and teaches digital research skills at the University of Sussex. She has also taught nineteenth-century literature at the University of Brighton. Before becoming an academic, she worked for 12 years as a web developer and IT manager.
