FYI. If you know of Canadian projects or projects with Canadians participating in the lead and want to nominate them, the contact information is below. I was on the committee that put this award together and a goal is to really find a way of recognising the things in DH that are crucial to the field but not always easy to reward or otherwise recognise. It is also very much intended /not/ to be a career award--i.e. it can be awarded to anybody at any career stage and it should be for the contribution, not the career that lead up to the contribution (or lack of a career). -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SHARP-L] 2014 CSDH/SCHN Outstanding Contribution Award|Le Prix de contribution exceptionnelle CSDH/SCHN 2014 Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:26:06 +0000 From: Dean Irvine <Dean.Irvine(a)Dal.Ca> Reply-To: <sharp-l(a)list.indiana.edu> To: csdh-schn-members-request(a)lists.csdh-schn.org <csdh-schn-members-request(a)lists.csdh-schn.org> Please find below a snippet of a call for nominations from the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities/Société canadienne des humanitiés numériques.

Writing Britain: CxP a reminder
by Orietta Da Rold 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

*With apologies for cross-posting* Dear Colleagues, This is just a note to remind interested scholars and students about the deadline for abstracts for the Writing Britain conference to be held in the Faculty of English at the University of Cambridge under the auspices of the Centre for Material Texts. Please submit your abstract by Thursday 20 February by following this link https://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/english/news/conferences/writing_britain/… Alternatively, contact one of the organisers. Please, also do alert students about this event. The conference is generously sponsored by the Faculty of English and the University of Cambridge and the School of English at the University of Leicester. We are looking forward to welcoming many of you in Cambridge Orietta, Richard, Phil and Aidan. ************************************************************************** Writing Britain: 500-1500 University of Cambridge, Faculty of English, 30 June - 2 July 2014 Under the auspices of the Centre for Material Texts Writing Britain is a biennial event which aims to draw on a range of approaches and perspectives to exchange ideas about manuscript studies, material culture, multilingualism in texts and books, book history, readers, audience and scribes across the medieval period. The 2014 iteration of the Writing Britain Conference will take place in the English Faculty at the University of Cambridge under the auspices of the Centre for Material Texts. Some of the topics which we are keen to explore are literary and non-literary agencies and their significance and/or relevance in the medieval period across British medieval written culture in English, French, Latin, Norse and the Celtic languages. More broadly, we are interested in other questions such as: How did local writers, compilers and readers use writing to inscribe regional identity within broader conventions or, on the other hand, impress 'universal' practices and constructs on local populations? What were the different markets for books? Can we characterize their developments and differences? What new or existing methodologies can be employed to localise texts and books across Britain? What is the role of the Digital Humanities in the study of medieval book culture? Plenary speakers: Jonathan Wilcox (University of Iowa), Richard Beadle (University of Cambridge) and Simon Horobin (University of Oxford) We welcome proposals from scholars working on any aspects of British medieval written culture up to 1500. Please visit our conference web site in order to submit an abstract (300 words or fewer) for a twenty-minute paper. Please send your abstract by 20 February 2014. Abstracts from postgraduate students are welcome and graduate rates will be provided. For further information please visit the website where contact details of the organisers will also be available.

CeRch Seminar: Let's consider some new technologies for musicians, music learners, and music teachers.
by kcl - cerch 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Please find below the details of next week's CeRch seminar: Date: Tuesday, 18th February 2014, from 6.15pm to 7.30pm (GMT) Location: Anatomy Museum Space, 6th Floor, King's College London (Strand Campus) http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/strand/Strand.aspx Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is requested: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cerch-seminar-lets-consider-some-new-technolog… The seminar will be followed by wine and nibbles. All the best, Valentina Asciutti Abstract: New music technologies, or apps, have the potential to be of considerable value to musicians, particularly to learners and teachers in classrooms or during private teaching. The quantity and range of these technologies is now considerable, such that, for instance, musicians have access to a wide range of sophisticated notation software that provides almost as many ways of writing and editing music as are available in word processing. The apps can be classified as pertaining to (a) the learning of content about music (b) the learning of the skills of performance (c) sharing performance and (d) creativity in music - with many sub-divisions in each section. The presentation will focus on the website - musicappsforlearning.weebly.com - in which the author has set out the apps according to the above classification, and will briefly explain the most important features of some examples in each category. The value of most of these new technologies is very similar to the value of much of the newest software in the general: to give musicians tools through which they can work more quickly and easily, and from which they can receive automated assistance. For instance, there are apps that enable transposition from one musical style to another, or that will flag up errors in playing a specific piece, or that exploit the power of multimedia. The general impact of these technologies is likely to be towards independence of learning, performance, and creativity. This in turn would enhance motivation among people - young or old - who might otherwise not expect to be able to learn or perform or compose music. This will be an interactive seminar with audience participation encouraged, i.e. rather than talk followed by questions, we hope for an ongoing dialogue between speaker and audience members. Speaker bio: Anita Pincas is Visiting Fellow, formerly Senior lecturer, at the Institute of Education, University of London. Though not a musician, she takes an active interest in music learning and creativity, having a singer-songwriter son. She has published on the comparison between language and music as different modes of communication. Her professional fields embrace most areas of education, with a special focus on language learning, which, she feels, is not a million miles away from music learning. Her major academic fields, in a long career, have been English language and literature, new technologies especially those relevant to learning and online and/or distance education. She has taught and supervised at all levels from bachelors, through masters and doctoral work.

Historical Image Overlays for the St Chad Gospels
by Endres, William F 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Dear Colleagues, I am happy to announce that I now have available for viewing images taken over the last 125 years for nine pages of the 8th-century St Chad Gospels: https://lichfield.as.uky.edu. These photographs include up to five images for a page, beginning with images taken in 1887 and concluding with images taken by my imaging efforts in 2010. Once you click a page's thumbnail, the viewer automatically loads a page's full set of images. Choose the ones you want to compare from the viewer's drop-down lists. You can adjust the transparency of the top image through the viewer's slidebar. I have also included a brief discussion and some preliminary findings from overlaying these images: https://lichfield.as.uky.edu/historical-images. I include an animated gif of an area that contains chipped pigment to provide one example of the aging (happily, these areas are rare). I continue to think through ways that digital efforts can not only increase access to medieval manuscripts and digitally preserve them, but also take advantage of prior photographic and scholarly efforts to enhance or integrate them with current digital efforts, increasing their value and what we can know. As always, any comments or suggestions are appreciated. All best, Bill -- Bill Endres University of Kentucky Division of Writing, Rhetoric & Digital Studies Lexington, KY 40506 859-257-8337

by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fons Luminis CFP Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2014 09:55:02 -0500 From: Fons Luminis <edsfl(a)chass.utoronto.ca> To: <editors(a)digitalmedievalist.org> Dear Sir or Madam Fons Luminis, the student run journal at the Centre for Medieval Studies in the University of Toronto, is pleased to announce s new CFP for their upcoming 2015 open issue. Would you be so kind as to circulate it through your list serve? The submission deadline is July 1, 2014. *Fons Luminis Call for Papers* *“Using and Creating Digital Medievalia”* Fons Luminis, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal edited and produced annually by graduate students at the Centre for Medieval Studies in the University of Toronto provides a forum in which to address, challenge, and explore the content and methodologies of our various home disciplines. We invite current graduate students to submit papers relating in some way to the 2015 journal theme, “Using and Creating Digital Medievalia.” Since the mid-twentieth century, computing has been and continues to be a major factor in the medievalist’s research. From Father Busa’s creation of the Index Thomasticus in the 1940’s to current library and archival digitization projects, computational methods are essential aspects of the medievalist’s occupation. Papers are encouraged to address: medievalist use of digitally stored information; social scientists and librarians as creators and/or curators of knowledge about the Middle Ages; future directions of digital humanities; the importance of digital humanities to work in paleography, codicology, diplomatics, and text editing. Articles may also focus on topics including (but not limited to) mapping and space, the impact of digitization on concepts of the archive, and digital tools in teaching. Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 16th edition (2010) of The Chicago Manual of Style, and be at least 4,000 words in length, including footnotes. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation. As usual, we continue to accept other submissions on any aspect of medieval studies and welcome longer review articles (approximately 1,500 words) on recent or seminal works in medieval studies.Submissions must be received by July 1, 2014 in order to be considered for publication.Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to edsfl(a)chass.utoronto.ca <mailto:edsfl@chass.utoronto.ca>. -- Sincerely, Nick Johnston Bridget Riley Amy Conwell Editors /Fons Luminis/

FW: Call for Nominations
by Caedmon, Herdsman 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Please cross post. Hi all, Since it would be really nice to encourage diversity among our candidates (and upcoming executive), let me encourage you to circulate this call for nominations and also to paraphrase it or translate it into other languages if you think that might encourage participation from underrepresented groups. In the period December 2013-January 2014, proposed bylaws were circulated for comment to the community (the bylaws can be found here: http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/proposed-bylaws/). These bylaws had been approved by the ad hoc executive we established a year ago to oversee the first year of the organisation. The bylaws establish the procedure by which GO::DH shall be governed in the future. They call for the election of an 8 member executive, from which a chair shall be chosen. The executive will also be responsible for appointing all officers. Normally, the executive will be elected to staggered two year terms, with half the executive up for election each year. For the first year, all positions on the executive are open: half the vacancies will be for a one year (renewable) term, the other half for a two year (renewable) term. Normally, the nominations and elections will occur in January. For a variety of reasons, not least of which was the need to circulate the bylaws for comment, we are one month late this year. I have recently been given funding to hire an administrative assistant, Mia Angelica Alcantara-Santiago, who has agreed to serve as returning officer and chair of the nominations committee for this first election (in future years, these positions will be held by a member of the executive who is not up for reelection). We would like, therefore, to open nominations for candidates for the executive of GO::DH. Any member of our mailing list may stand for election and self-nominations are very welcome. If you would like to nominate somebody for election (including yourself), please email Mia Angelica at caedmon(a)uleth.ca<mailto:caedmon@uleth.ca>. She will need the name and email address of the nominee. Please ensure that your nominee is willing to stand for election. Please also ask the nominee if they would prefer to stand for a one or a two year term (both terms are renewable; in the future, all terms will be two years). In keeping with the goals and mandate of GO::DH, we strongly encourage diversity in our nominees: there are no linguistic, geographic, or other requirements for office and we encourage nominees from all countries and speakers of all languages to apply. Nominations will close February 15. A ballot will then be prepared with the candidates names and members of the mailing list will be asked to select up to eight names for election. The ballot will close, one week after it opens and the first elected GO::DH executive will be announced.

New Vacancy: Assistant Professor, French Applied Linguistics or Francophone studies, University of Lethbridge (Deadline March 17, 2014)
by Daniel O'Donnell 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Hi all, An entry-level job that might be of interest to members of this list, deadline for applications March 17, 2014. I have spoken to the chair and am told that an interest in DH and/or Medieval Studies would be welcome. The core requirements are skill/experience in teaching second language learners, especially at the junior level, and demonstrable interest in and ability to teach French Phonology/Phonetics. Beyond that the research expertise is open. Canadian residents must be given preference according to the law, though international candidates will be considered. The ad says that "there will be internal candidates for the position," but I have just spoken to the chair and she tells me that that language was inserted by mistake by Human Resources after proofing and will be removed ASAP (the ad just went up at the end of the business day). She assures me that this is very much an open search and that all qualified applicants, including international candidates, will be considered seriously. For my own part, let me add that candidates with a background in DH will find the University of Lethbridge to be very active in the field. We are in the process of approving research centres in the Digital Arts and Humanities and Digital Scholarly Communication and the University of Lethbridge is host to both Digital Medievalist and GlobaloutlookDH.org. I would certainly look forward to working with a successful candidate with Digital Humanities experience. I should stress, however, that I have no influence on the search. -dan ------------------ The Department of Modern Languages at the University of Lethbridge invites applications for a tenure-track appointment in French at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin 1 July 2014, subject to budgetary approval. The successful candidate will have a PhD in French, Linguistics or relevant field with a specialization in either French linguistics or francophone studies, and a proven ability to teach French phonetics and phonology.
