From kmapes at msu.edu Mon Feb 6 10:01:59 2017 From: kmapes at msu.edu (Kristen Mapes) Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2017 12:01:59 -0500 Subject: [globaloutlookDH-l] 3 Associate/Full Professor Positions: Critical Diversity in a Digital Age Cluster, Michigan State University Message-ID: The College of Arts and Letters and the College of Social Science at Michigan State University invite applications for positions in the following areas at the Associate or Full Professor level: - Literary Studies and the Digital Humanities - Culturally Engaged Digital Humanities/Rhetorics - Digital History Find the full description and posting details at http://www.cal.msu.edu/criticaldiversity The College of Arts & Letters and the College of Social Science at Michigan State University seek a group of culturally engaged digital arts and humanities scholars to join a transformative initiative to explore, interrogate, and cultivate Critical Diversity in a Digital Age. We are looking for creative, collaborative leaders in digital humanities and digital arts who think synthetically about scholarship, teaching, and creative endeavors. These new colleagues will join a group of faculty and students at Michigan State University with an energetic focus on humanities questions of race, inclusion, cultural preservation, global interconnectedness, and engaged scholarship. They will be part of the Consortium for Critical Diversity in a Digital Age Research (CEDAR), which serves as an interdisciplinary catalyst for MSU scholars, artists, and teachers who work at the intersections of self/society, digital/material, technology/culture to advance leading-edge scholarship and creative activity that integrates diversity in a digital age. Our aim is to lead a movement in humanities scholarship that engages the contemporary digital world with a discerning sense of critique rooted in ethical imagination and oriented toward creating more just communities. Three broad mission areas shape our initiative for Critical Diversity in a Digital Age: (1) To expose the limits of existing practices and structures of reality in order to interrogate the conditions under which they operate and thus to uncover what they enable and prevent; (2) To discern what is possible in the wake of this exposure so that we might imagine more just possibilities of engagement; (3) To enact practices of justice and freedom rooted in and animated by discerning critique. As an anchoring intellectual disposition, critical diversity signals a perspective on ?diversity? that goes beyond that term?s common yoking with ?inclusion? to reflect on access to resources, to define problems and establish alliances, and to address actual systems of domination and oppression. The digital humanities can offer powerful tools for analysis, including various forms of digital reading, digital archives, data visualization, and electronic literature. Our initiative understands that these tools are not neutral, but must be interrogated, analyzed, and engaged through an abiding commitment to critical diversity. In this first of a two-phase cluster hire, we seek applications from creative, energetic, and empathetic scholars at the Associate or Full Professor level with a demonstrated record of leadership, achievement, and mentoring who will help further frame, develop, and support our Critical Diversity in a Digital Age initiative.

Please feel free to pass this on to other lists and also consider either attending or proposing workshops. Although there is an injunction delaying the enforcement of recent U.executive order regarding immigration to the U.S., the organisers of FSCI recognise that many potential attendees and instructors may have concerns about access and safety in this and future years. The Force 11 executive has issued two statements on the recent immigration ban and is working actively to improve its ability to respond to and support the needs of people affected by these and other restrictions. Force 11 also has a long and successful track record of funding student attendees and attendees from mid and low income economies to its events. It has several grant applications under consideration to support future attendance and hopes to be able to continue this support in this and future years.

FSCI at UCSD is a week-long program that offers participants training, networking and skills development in new modes of research communication. The UC San Diego Library is hosting the event that will take place at the Institute of the Americas on the UC San Diego Campus. ?The research community lacks a forum for coordinated access to training, skills development, and expert knowledge on new modes of research communication,? says Cameron Neylon, President of Force 11, ?even as funders are mandating change and the wider world has embraced new forms of communication.? Based on proven models in other disciplines, FSCI at UCSD will bring world-leading experts in different aspects of scholarly communication to San Diego to design and deliver courses that will help participants to navigate this new world. Courses will be established for all levels, from absolute beginners to experts. They will also be aimed at different audiences, including students, researchers, administrators, funders, and information professionals, including librarians and publishers. Typical topics to be covered at the annual event will include: Introductory Level * Open Access, Open Source, Open Data, What Does this All Mean? * Building a Digital Presence: Social Media, Repositories, and the Researcher * Research Communications 101: Tools for Improving Scholarly Communication * Data and Other Forms of Non-narrative Publication * Understanding Research Metrics * Open Peer Review: How to give and Receive Criticism Advanced * Copyright, Open Access and Open Data * New Metrics and How to Use Them to Build a Research Portfolio * Introduction to Open Data Management * Implications of OA on Research Publications * Making it Work: Knowledge Mobilization, Knowledge Translation, and Popularization Specialised/Topic Focussed * Implementing Successful Open Access, and Open Data Mandates * Supporting the Research Lifecycle for Researchers and Administrators * Evaluating New Forms of Research Publication * Implications of OA on Publication and Collection Building * Data Ownership and Copyright Issues * Data-informed Strategy for Institutional Leaders * Maximizing Impact Across Disciplines * Increasing Transparency and Reproducibility in Research Communications ?Scholarly Communication is in a disruptive phase at the moment. Students know the rules that governed their supervisors? early careers are changing? said Maryann Martone, past president of Force 11 and UCSD professor emerita. ?Libraries know the current publishing and data repository system is unsustainable; researchers know the systems within which they have worked are changing rapidly,? adds Brian Schottlaender, UCSD?s Audrey Geisel University Librarian. ?Administrators know government, industry, funders, and the general public are expecting research to be performed, communicated, and measured in new ways. But knowing that things are changing is not the same as understanding what those changes are or how individuals and institutions can navigate them. This is what FSCI at UCSD will provide.? For more information or to sign up to receive further information about the FSCI at UCSD, visit www.force11.org/fsci Comment on Location Given the uncertainty regarding travel to the US and the recent FORCE11 Statement on travel restrictions, there may be questions regarding the location of the Institute in San Diego. The Institute has been in planning with UCSD for some time and UCSD has committed to providing long-term and substantial financial, administrative, and intellectual support. This support allows us to focus our fundraising on supporting travel for those who who would otherwise be unable to attend, which has been a feature of our work in planning FORCE11 meetings for some years. While the current situation makes this harder, we elected to move forward with the planned location. We remain committed to working to mitigate the effects of restrictions to travel across the full set of FORCE11 events. Click on the links below if you wish to participate. Have a course idea?
