What grad students wish they knew about the library sooner: a Tisch Library information session
This session will be held virtually. Please register for the event to receive the Zoom link.
Recording and Representation in Fieldwork Methods in Music, Sound, and Culture
For this class, students explore ethnographic field research from a decolonial framework. In a workshop in the Digital Design Studio, students learn audio recording techniques and interrogate the relationship between recording and representation of a community as a researcher. In what ways does recording sound/music enhance representation of the community over writing about it? In what ways do researchers have to make choices that impact the representation, such as microphone placement or directionality?
Zines in Colonial Schooling
For this class, students created zines to tell stories about the school systems established by colonial governments in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Each student selected a specific example of colonial schooling and conducted library research to learn more about it. Based on their findings, they crafted a narrative about the history and legacy of colonial schooling. Zines included both text and images, as well as considering layout and design elements.

Writing your NSF Data Management and Sharing Plan (+ new Research.gov tool)
Applying for NSF funding? Join Tisch Library for a Zoom workshop on NSF Data Management and Sharing Plans, including recent changes to NSF data sharing policies.
All NSF proposals must include a Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP), outlining how your research data will be managed, shared, and preserved. On April 27, 2026, the NSF will be implementing a new webform for DMSPs which should be used by all plans submitted after that date.
