DESCRIPTION:We propose a workshop session on integrating quantitative reaso
 ning (QR) pedagogy – working with data\, graphs\, etc – into courses i
 n ways that are aligned with historical inquiry. Historical data are often
  the only glimpses that survive of peoples’ lives and experiences\, and 
 connect scholars and descendants to the past (Jessica Marie Johnson\, 2018
 ). The pursuit of standardized data systems over time with the goal of int
 eroperability is another form of global connection that spans and challeng
 es political and cultural borders\, making our work especially relevant fo
 r this year’s theme\, “Closed Borders and Global Connections.”\n\nPr
 esenters Sharpe and Winton have collaborated on a substantial overhaul of 
 Sharpe’s existing global unit on slavery which contrasts the 500-year no
 bi system in Korea with the transatlantic slave trade of Africans\, focusi
 ng on Haiti and other French Caribbean sites. Students are introduced to q
 uantitative data and databases in the context of historical research throu
 gh a series of scaffolded activities including a group project using the l
 ongstanding Slave Voyages database. \n\nThe workshop will outline the peda
 gogical choices made to support student quantitative skills in historical 
 analysis and facilitate opportunities for faculty to think through QR in t
 heir courses. As the instructor and an historian\, Sharpe will describe he
 r course and connections with history and digital humanities pedagogies. W
 hile QR is a common curricular goal across US higher education\, many scho
 ols do not have dedicated staff to help humanities faculty incorporate QR 
 into the curriculum. As a QR program director and biologist by training\, 
 Winton will help faculty consider how they can adapt this work to their co
 urses and institutional contexts. Sharpe and Winton are both experienced f
 aculty developers\; by presenting together\, they embody the collaborative
  relationship between faculty and staff\, across disciplinary training\, t
 o help faculty reach the goals they have for their courses.
