The Digital Humanities Skills Workshop Series is a partnership between ETCL, the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), and UVic Libraries and is affiliated with SFU (DHIL and the SFU Library Research Commons) and UBC (UBC Library and UBC Advanced Research Computing).

Our second workshop, “Introduction to Project Management,” will be held on Wednesday November 23rd at UVic. Details and link to register below.

Introduction to Project Management

Wednesday November 23rd

2-5 pm

McPherson Library, room 130

Instructor: Dr. Lynne Siemens (U Victoria)

Project management skills are increasingly in demand for graduate students, early career scholars and those in academic adjacent jobs. This offering will cover the basics of project management from project definition to project review upon completion, including risk assessment and mitigation, work effort modelling, software tools and related internet resources and other topics.  The course will be a combination of lecture and some hands on activities.  Anyone who will be or is organizing a project will benefit from this workshop.
