Section Title:
Data Science in the Humanities
Section Info:
Human culture provides an ideal testbed for students exploring data science, because the interpretive challenges that lurk beneath the surface in other domains become starkly visible here. For instance, cultural materials usually come to analysts as unstructured texts, images, or sound files, forcing explicit decisions about data modeling and feature extraction. Cultural questions also highlight the importance of interpreting statistical models in relation to a social context. Last but not least: songs, poems, and stories confront us with vivid problems that are inherently fun to explore. This course will start by reviewing descriptive and inferential statistics, and build up to applications of supervised and unsupervised machine learning. We will apply those methods to a range of cultural materials — using them to model the pace of stylistic change in popular music, for instance, and the representation of gender in fiction. A semester of programming experience (or a concurrent programming course) is recommended, but exceptions can be made with permission of the instructor.

Section Title:
Exhibit Design & Installation
Section Info:
The opening night of any exhibition is the culmination of many months and sometimes years of planning centered around an initial core idea for a show. After that idea has gelled into a working concept, it is handed to Design and Installation Specialists to see what is really possible. Can we have all the art suspended from wires? Can the ceiling support a replica of a sea mine? Can we devise a secure vitrine for this priceless manuscript? Does this meet ADA restrictions? How will everything fit together? Can we get that look? This course will address how exhibitions attains a specific "look"? This is not a course on developing or curating the information, but rather a course on presenting that information in the most compelling way. We will look at the planning, fabricating, painting, building, and installing are large parts of our work. We also have to consider that nothing, with few exceptions, is permanent. Our work needs to be secure and stable, but also reversible to make way for the next show. We will also survey the conceptual and procedural dimensions of carrying an exhibition through from curatorial musings to the reality of opening night. We will cover the techniques and processes that begin with a dialogue and move into the concrete. We will discuss the "what's possible" response to the initial idea. We will discuss the collaborative aspects of working with Curators, Directors of Cultural Institutions, Registrars, Collections Managers and Architects. The course will be a mix of discussion and hands-on experience with some courses taking place in the Krannert Art Museum workshop.Location: Room CRL, Krannert Art Museum

Information History
Section Info:
A Hybrid course that meets with LIS 590IHL. Drawing on research in varied historical specializations, information history has become a vibrant area of study, one that improves our understanding, moreover, of today's information universe. Information history covers diverse institutions and practices -- from libraries and the book to the telegraph and postal systems, from surveillance to cartography, from documentary culture to statistical surveys -- seeking to connect them with the major developmental processes of human history. Framed in a succession of major historical epochs, topics and trends, from Antiquity to the twentieth century, this course revises our sense of the historical record by situating information explicitly within it.

Leadership
Section Info:
Leadership This is a one unit, four week course that provides a basic introduction to leadership theory and practice. While exploring contemporary theories, principles, and practices of leadership, the course explores effective leadership techniques with particular attention to their application in information organizations. The course will be characterized by high challenge, active participation, self-direction, and the encouragement of and respect for diverse viewpoints. “Scholars tackle two kinds of subjects. Some, like dry-fly fishing and the iconography of sixteenth-century French poetry, can be plumbed to their depths. Others, like leadership, are so vast and complex that they can only be explored" (Bennis, Warren. 1996. The leader as storyteller. Harvard Business Review (Jan-Feb): 157). * * * In this course, our exploration into leadership will include gaining insight into ourselves, being attentive to a variety of current and classic leadership scholars and their theories, focusing on current challenges of leadership within information organizations, and developing a research-based plan for our own individual ongoing leadership development. Assignments include an interview of a practicing organizational leader to bridge theory and practice. We frequently hear the complaint that there is a need for more leaders, or more effective leaders. However, we believe, with the management consultant and theorist Peter Block, that " . . . we can and we must make our organizations more the kinds of places we want them to be . . .". That impact is most likely to occur with attention to our own individual and collective practice of leadership.
