All Day

NCFDD 14-Day Writing Challenge [Deadline to Apply]

See organizers' website for details. The 14-Day Challenge is an opportunity for you to experiment with daily writing, online community, and supportive accountability. It's very simple: You commit to write every day for at least 30 minutes. At the beginning of your writing time, you login to our online community, start the timer, complete your writing, and post your progress at the end. You take 5 minutes to support other writers in your group by commenting on their progress. This is NOT for you if: 1) you don't want to post your progress on a daily basis and/or 2) you don't want to interact with other people. If you're up for the challenge, then we can't wait for you to join us!

Text Data Mining and Publishing [Library & D-Lab]

See organizers' website for details. If you are working on a computational text analysis project and have wondered how to legally acquire, use, and publish text and data, this workshop is for you! We will teach you 5 legal literacies (copyright, contracts, privacy, ethics, and special use cases) that will empower you to make well-informed decisions about compiling, using, and sharing your corpus. By the end of this workshop, and with a useful checklist in hand, you will be able to confidently design lawful text analysis projects or be well positioned to help others design such projects.
