Building Legal Literacies for Text Data Mining

The institute seeks to empower digital humanities researchers and professionals to be able to confidently navigate law, policy, ethics, and risk within digital humanities text data mining projects — so that they can more easily engage in this type of research and contribute to the advancement of knowledge.

The Institute will teach foundational skills to help digital humanities researchers and professionals:

• Confidently navigate law, policy, ethics, and risk within digital humanities text data mining projects
• Integrate workflows for digital humanities text data mining research and professional support
• Practice sharing these new tools through authentic consultation exercises
• Prototype plans for broadly disseminating their knowledge
• Develop communities of practice to promote cross-institutional outreach about the digital humanities text data mining legal landscape

Hosted by the University of California, Berkeley, the Institute will be taught by a combination of experienced legal scholars, digital humanities professionals, librarians, faculty, and researchers
