OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Bodleian iSkills: Working with sensitive research data in the Social Sciences and Humanities
A workshop outlining some of the key principles to bear in mind when working with sensitive or restricted research, whether collected yourself or obtained from a third party source such as a data archive. Issues of confidentiality, informed consent, cybersecurity and data management will be covered. Examples of scenarios or concerns drawn from the research of participants are particularly welcome. The role of support services at Oxford will also be outlined and in particular the role of the Bodleian Data Librarian who will lead the session. Follow up consultations with the Data librarian or other subject consultants are also offered.
The session will cover: best practice principles when working with sensitive or restricted research data; issues around creating original data in the Social Sciences and Humanities; informed consent agreements; maxaximising the usage potential of data during and after a project; the strengths and weaknesses of anonymization, data blurring and similar techniques; key strategies for protecting data including encryption, embargoes, future vetting and access restrictions; the obligation put on researchers by legislation and research partners.
