University Libraries Announces Love Data Week Schedule for 2023

The University Libraries Research Data Management team presents SHU’s 6th Annual Love Data Week, from Monday, February 13th to Friday, February 17th, 2023.

The planning committee for Love Data Week includes librarians including Professor Michael Murphy who supports the value of this initiative: “I’m very excited by the mix of new and returning speakers and the breadth of topics being covered this year.” Professor Murphy is the liaison to the School of Diplomacy and International Relations and the Department of Political Science & Public Affairs.  Professor Murphy also coordinates DiploLab, a collaborative research space run by Dr. Joseph Huddleston.  DiploLab allows students to explore their interests related to international relations, engage with faculty, and apply what they are learning beyond the classroom.
