Dating the Undated: Unlocking the Chronology of Premodern Japanese Publications through AI and Microscopic Imaging
Azusa Tanaka, Japan Studies Librarian at the University of Washington
Determining the publication date of a book is essential for research across various disciplines. However, many pre-Meiji (pre-1868) Japanese publications lack clear publication dates, making the task of dating these works particularly challenging. Traditional methods, such as analyzing authorship or binding, often pose risks to delicate archival materials and can be subjective.
In this talk, a…

"Ten Thousand Things" at the Wing Luke Museum
Registration required: bit.ly/ShinYuPai
Join curator Shin Yu Pai at the Wing Luke Museum’s Ten Thousand Things exhibit. The exhibit is an exploration of the objects that shape identities, histories, and cultural narratives. Inspired by her experience cataloging artifacts at the Wing Luke Museum as a Museology graduate student, Pai has long been fascinated by the way objects function as vessels of memory, meaning, and storytelling. This exhibition expands upon Pai’s acclaimed public radio podcast Ten Thousand Things. Through four seasons of storytelling, Pai has explored the intimate connections people have with everyday and extraordinary items—objects that hold deep personal significance, evoke generational ties, or serve as cultural touchstones.
Shin Yu Pai is an award-winning writer, photographer, podcast host and editor based in the Pacific Northwest. She is author of numerous collections of poetry, including No Neutral (Empty Bowl Press, 2023), and was Seattle’s 2023-2024 Civic Poet. Her literary papers…

Going Public: Navigating Online and Professional Harassment Panel Discussion
Researchers who engage publicly often find themselves navigating new forms of visibility and vulnerability. This panel brings together experts whose work and lived experiences shed light on the realities of online and professional harassment in an increasingly adversarial environment.
Join Emma Spiro, Katherine Cross, and Kate Starbird for an hour-long roundtable discussion on how scholars can continue to do meaningful, public-facing work while protecting their well-being, supporting their communities, and sustaining trust in research. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A and a brief reception.
Hosted by the Open Scholarship Commons, this event is part of the Going Public series, which explores what it means to share research responsibly, safely, and authentically in the public sphere.

Humanities Data Exploration Workshop Series: From Foundations to Practice - Workshop Two: Data Management for All of Us (In Person)
Data management isn't fun to think about -- it's at the intersection of the cliche "our world is run by data" and the nagging memory of a parent telling us to "clean up our room." The truth is, most of us work with information we care deeply about: spreadsheets of student grades, high-resolution scans of ancient calligraphy, library catalog searches, and scraped social media data. The truth also is: at some point, most of us will encounter challenges accessing, tracking, or preserving that information. This is where data management and versioning tools come in.
In this one-hour workshop, we'll discuss some classic tools and where they might be useful, then get our hands dirty with Git as a concrete example. Participants should bring their personal computers, on which we'll install Git. The workshop will be followed by a 30-minute data management office hour session, during which participants can work through a beginner tutorial and ask questions about their own data needs.

Critical Gaming Collaboration Studio: Game Jam - Turning a Draft into a Functional Proposal
Join us for a hands-on Game Jam in the Critical Gaming Collaboration Studio! In this session, we’ll take a draft proposal from RozForum and work together to transform it into a functional game concept. The client is interested in gamifying a “Soft Skills in Science” course, and your input will help shape how the idea could become a playable, engaging learning experience.
This is a unique opportunity to experience what it’s like to take a general concept and turn it into a concrete, playable proposal. Participants will collaborate in teams, brainstorm mechanics, test ideas, and draft initial prototypes, all in a supportive, experimental environment. No prior game design experience is required, just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to experiment!
Come ready to co-create, play, and explore how games can enhance learning and engagement in science education.
