Learn how to use OpenRefine to effectively clean and format data. A part of the data workflow is preparing the data for analysis. Some of this involves data cleaning, where errors in the data are identified and corrected, or formatting is made consistent. This step must be taken with the same care and attention to reproducibility as the analysis. OpenRefine (formerly Google Refine) is a powerful free and open-source tool for working with messy data — cleaning it and transforming it from one format into another. Prerequisite(s): This lesson assumes no prior knowledge of the skills or tools. Please bring a laptop to the session (laptops are available for three-hour loans on a first-come, first-served basis at the 1st floor Circulation Desk. Please follow these instructions to install OpenRefine and download the example data file before the session. This workshop will follow a Carpentries curriculum.

Register to attend Pardis Dabashi is Assistant Professor of English at Bryn Mawr College, where she is also Affiliated Faculty in the Comparative Literature Program, the Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and North African Studies Program, and the Film Studies Program. Her scholarship examines the intersection of form, politics, and affect in narrative film and literary modernism in the Euro-American and Iranian contexts, as well as the history and epistemology of critical argument as it relates to religious debate, particularly in the history of Islam. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in such venues as PMLA, Modernism/modernity, Textual Practice, MFS: Modern Fiction Studies, Feminist Media Histories, and The Qur'an: Literary Dimensions (Edinburgh UP). She is co-editor of The New William Faulkner Studies (Cambridge UP, 2022), and co-editor of the Visualities forum on Modernism/modernity Print+. Her first book, Losing the Plot: Film and Feeling in the Modern Novel (University of Chicago Press, 2023), studies plot and ambivalence in the Euro-American modernist novel and the classical Hollywood cinema. It received the 2024 Modernist Studies Association First Book Prize. She is currently working on two books, one that brings debates in classical Islamic philosophy and theology to bear on the concept of critical dispute in contemporary literary criticism and theory, the other an aesthetic historiography of pre-Revolutionary emotion in Persian modernism and Iranian New Cinema of the 1960s and 70s. Liam Kruger is Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Notre Dame, where he teaches on Global Anglophone literatures of the twentieth and twenty-first century, with a particular emphasis on the novel in Africa. Professor Kruger's current research concerns representations of urban space in postcolonial literature, taking Dublin, Lagos, Johannesburg, and Hong Kong as its key sites and case studies. He is also co-organizer of Virtual Publics in the Memosphere, a public humanities project at Dartmouth College. His writing has appeared in Research in African Literatures, Modern Fiction Studies, and Cultural Critique, among other venues. Literatures of Annihilation, Exile, and Resistance, launched by Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi, is a research collective and lecture series co-sponsored by the College of Arts and Letters and the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, and housed at the Initiative on Race and Resilience. The series focuses on contemporary literature, film, and visual art that has been shaped by revolutionary and resistance movements, decolonization, migration, class and economic warfare, communal and state-sanctioned violence, and human rights violations. We aim to theorize new modes of contemporary literary and artistic resistance across national borders and to amplify the voices of scholars, artists, and writers of color whose lived experience is instrumental in forging new alliances across formal, linguistic and national boundaries. This event is sponsored by Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, Creative Writing Program, Department of English, Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, The Graduate School, Department of American Studies, Institute for Social Concerns, Teaching Beyond the Classroom Grants, The Brookline Booksmith Transnational Literature Series and the Franco Family Institute for Liberal Arts and the Public Good/Henkels Grant.   Originally published at litofexile.nd.edu.

South Bend’s Federico Rodriguez brings artworks that reimagines everyday objects, cultural symbols, and familiar images to reveal new perspectives. Federico was born and raised in South Bend to a family that held to Mexican American cultural traditions and explored them through music and dance. He was surrounded by creatives and extroverts from his earliest years. Today, as a conceptual and community-based artist, Federico’s work shifts how something ordinary can be understood, weaving together history, culture, and imagination in ways that encourage reflection, connection, and conversation.
