Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to announce the winter 2025/26 edition of *ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas* https://ub.uni-koeln.de/en/courses-consultations/specials/reproducibilitea-in-the-humaniteas with a host of wonderful guest speakers, exciting discussion topics, and several hands-on workshops, too! We are sticking to our usual, informal discussion format and 4 o'clock tea time; however we have moved to *Thursday afternoons*. You can find the full schedule on our homepage https://ub.uni-koeln.de/en/courses-consultations/specials/reproducibilitea-in-the-humaniteas with topics ranging from reproducibility, data sharing, and replication to research integrity, participant consent, and the use of generative AI in (linguistics) research. For those of you who use digital calenders, the dates are also available for download in standard ical format https://www.edulabs.uni-koeln.de/calendar.php?client_id=iliasedulabs&token=c7ab9f48f45e963624ded26bcb21ae66&limited=0 and for Google calenders https://www.edulabs.uni-koeln.de/calendar.php?client_id=iliasedulabs&token=c7ab9f48f45e963624ded26bcb21ae66&limited=1.
We are kicking things off this coming *Thursday 13 November 16-17:30 CET* with corpus linguist Amalia Canes-Nápoles**from the Department of Romance Studies at the University of Cologne. Amalia will share insights into "Reproducibility in automated corpus compilation: Challenges of dynamic workflows" and will lead a broader discussion on computational reproducibility in day-to-day research.
Future guest speakers include three more distinguished linguists: Lukas Sönning, Mark Dingemanse, and Maryam Mohammadi, plus several Quarto workshops led by myself, and fellow linguists and co-organisers of ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas: Gabriele Schwiertz and Denis Arnold.
You can join us in person at the University Library in Cologne where we serve a range of teas and biscuits or brew your own and join us via Zoom. Please join our mailing list to get the Zoom links: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/reproducibilitea-humaniteas.
We aim to be as inclusive as possible: from B.A. students to full professors, everyone is welcome and there are no silly questions! The full schedule can be found here: https://ub.uni-koeln.de/kurse-beratung/specials/reproducibilitea-in-the-huma....
Best,
