Cultivating a Citational Practice: An Introduction to Practical and Ethical Considerations for Images and More will deepen the conversation about how citations and image captions can be a dynamic part of your scholarship through student- and faculty-led discussions. All are welcome to attend, and we especially encourage those who are writing QPs, BA theses, MA theses, dissertations, articles, books, and/or curatorial projects to attend. Claudia Brittenham, Jacobé Huet, and Matthew Kruer will facilitate a discussion about their approaches to citations and captions, and we encourage attendees to bring questions and ideas.

This workshop will offer a comprehensive look at practical strategies for preparing citations, image captions, citations and footnotes, and other components, as well as strategies for cultivating your own citational practice, including: 

  • Ethical considerations for citations, captions, and more
  • Strategies for cultivating a citational practice and mobilizing captions to play a critical role in your own projects
  • Practical resources for preparing image captions and citations from a variety of sources, including published sources, original photographs, Wikimedia Commons, digital collections, and more
  • How captions and citations relate to your personal archiving workflows
