Certificate Series
Spring 2024
This spring, join CSUF Digital for two hands-on Workshop Series that delve into the use of digital tools and platforms to centers ethnic voices and transformative learning. Participants can choose from two in-depth series, either focusing on Latinx Digital Humanities or Digital Collections, Archives, and Exhibits. Each series concludes with a certificate, and participants will receive hands-on practice building story maps, virtual timelines, and assembling digital collections.

This multi-session workshop series is led by Prof. Sarah Rafael Garcia (DEFCon Fellow, CSUF Latinx Lab, and Founder, LibroMobile). Throughout this workshop Sarah will introduce participants to the basics of digital humanities (DH) ethics and the use of open-access applications for creating virtual timelines and story maps. The workshop will also cover effective digital storytelling techniques for BIPOC communities.
Beyond the basic definition of digital humanities, this workshop advocates for equitable digital practices. Participants will explore who should tell the story and how to properly cite and credit work produced by BIPOC communities, both within and outside of academia. They will also explore platforms and topics created by other scholars of color, and their purposes. This workshop series aims to foster deep discussion, reflection, collaboration, and questioning.
To ensure the quality of engagement, registration is limited to 12 people.
Prerequisites: No prior experience/familiarity with digital tools or platforms is needed. Participants are expected to use a laptop or compatible device with access to Google Drive apps. This workshop is open to faculty, students (graduate and undergraduate), staff, and interested community members.
Workshop Format: HYBRID. Participants may attend this series in-person on the CSUF Campus or online via zoom. All workshop sessions will be live and synchronous.
Digital humanists often utilize digital collections and archives in their research. Digital humanists also often create or curate digital collections, archives, and exhibits. We sometimes use these terms interchangeably, yet there are distinctions between these three concepts.
We need to understand the important relationships between these three concepts as we grow our fluency in the vocabulary of digital humanities, collaborate with other digital humanists, and make decisions about platforms and digital projects.
This four-part workshop series includes:
Prerequisites: No prior experience/familiarity with digital tools or platforms is required. Participants should have access to a computer and a secure internet connection. This workshop is open to faculty, students (graduate and undergraduate), staff, and interested community members.
