Hello from the Digital Studio with Professor Rachael Fensham
Professor Rachel Fensham
Assistant Dean, Digital Studio
The Digital Studio is delighted to be a part of the Research Platform Services community. The Studio is a collaborative space in the Faculty of Arts supporting researchers working in the digital humanities, arts and social sciences. We are building a community of digital humanists here at the University through a diverse range of programs and activities, including an internship scheme tackling research data challenges for more than 10 projects. These projects range from organising the textual data of execution ballads in Omeka to data scraping and network analysis of Twitter content. We are also collaborating with industry partners such as Regional Arts Victoria, Creative Victoria, Lucy Guerin Inc, Digital Heritage Australia, and ACMI-X.
The Studio itself is a technically resourced workspace in Arts West which hosts seminars, visiting fellows, training and laboratory sessions, and project exhibitions. In semester two, we are excited to be hosting a Visiting Fellow from Leeds University, and will be working with Research Platforms, and other partners SCIP and Researcher@Library, to host data curation, training and workshops. We will also be presenting a Digital Heritage seminar series that explores cutting edge practices and issues in the Galleries, Libraries and Museum Sector.
Keep an eye on our events page or sign up to our email newsletter to find out what’s happening in the Studio. Or if you’re a researcher working on a digital HASS project feel free to get in touch via email digital-studio@unimelb.edu.au.
