SUMMARY:Using OpenRefine to Clean Your Data: Regular Expressions
DESCRIPTION:Workshop led by Nathan Humpal. \n\nOpenRefine is a free\, powerful tool for cleaning up data in lots of formats. One especially powerful feature is using regular expressions to search for patterns in your data to convert\, clean\, and identify. Join us to learn more about how to use OpenRefine and get the most out of using regular expressions. We will be using the Library Carpentries OpenRefine lesson\, focusing on Transformations: https://librarycarpentry.github.io/lc-open-refine/07-introduction-to-transformations.html\n\nVIRTUAL ONLY\n\nRegister here: https://uwm.edu/libraries/digital-humanities/dh-lab-events/dh-event-registration-using-openrefine-to-clean-data/

SUMMARY:Attentive or Absentminded: Habits of Mind in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:A lecture presented by Meghan O’Gieblyn\, author of God Human Animal Machine\, and the essay collection Interior States\, which won the 2018 Believer Book Award. \nAt a moment when we are outsourcing many intellectual and creative tasks to machines\, it’s worth thinking about the point of thinking itself. Is it a means to an end\, or an end in itself? Are humans just “stochastic parrots\,” mindlessly producing language in a way that is not so different from AI\, as some tech luminaries contend\, or is there something more going on in our minds? While these questions may seem new\, they harken back to older debates about the relationship between thought and language\, freedom and necessity\, and the fine line that exists between attention and automaticity. Long before the advent of digital technologies\, two twentieth century philosophers\, Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil\, wrote about some of these questions through the lens of the technologies of their times. Their writing anticipates many of the challenges of the age of AI and calls attention to the more ordinary and insidious ways that consciousness becomes ossified by social convention\, as well as the moral and political risks that arise when we fail to “think what we are doing.” \nGolda Meir Library Fourth Floor Conference Center\nApril 10\, 2025 | 4:00 -5:00 p.m. (refreshments at 3:30 p.m.) \nCo-sponsored by the Center for 21st Century Studies’ AI and the Humanities Collaboratory\, the UWM Office of Research\, and the UWM Libraries.

SUMMARY:2025 "Maps and America" Lecture -- “Processing Place: How Computers and Cartographers Redrew Our World”
DESCRIPTION:Emily Bowe\, Assistant Director of the Leventhal Map and Education Center at the Boston Public Library\, and Ian Spangler\, Assistant Curator of Digital & Participatory Geography at the Leventhal Center\, present the 2025 “Maps & America”: Arthur Holzheimer Lecture on Thursday\, April 24\, 2025 at 6 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library\, located on the third floor of the UWM Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. \nTheir talk\, “Processing Place: How Computers and Cartographers Redrew Our World\,” explores the how the computer technologies developed in the twentieth century drove changes in land management\, law and policy\, national defense\, and more. Taking a historical approach to digital mapping by comparing maps made with computers to those that came before\, the talk will invite us to reevaluate the relationships between maps\, technology\, and society. \nThere is a reception at 5:30 p.m. \nRegistration is required for this in-person and virtual event. \nThis will be the 35th annual presentation in the Maps & America: Arthur Holzheimer Lecture series\, organized by the American Geographical Society Library and supported by an endowment created by Arthur and Janet Holzheimer. \nThe lecture series was inaugurated by the noted cartographic historian Brian Harley in 1990. Over the years\, the series has featured many of the leading figures in the field of map history and provided a multifaceted survey of this rapidly developing field.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion: Beowulf
DESCRIPTION:Selection from Beowulf (ca. 10th/11th century CE) translated by Seamus Heaney (1999)\nLines 1-1643 \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected text. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, April 30. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, April 30\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the UWM campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.
