Dear colleagues, Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of June for four positions to its Executive Board. Board positions are for two year terms and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of three terms in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist's many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it would be expected that you are willing and able to commit a little bit of time to helping Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities (such as helping to run its its journal, conference sessions, etc.). For further information about the Executive and Digital Medievalist more generally please see the DM website, particularly: - http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/about.html - http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/bylaws.html We are now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for the annual elections. In order to be eligible for election, candidates must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred simply by subscription to the organisation's mailing list, dm-l) and have made some demonstrable contribution either to the DM project (e.g. to the mailing list, or the wiki, etc.), or generally to the field of digital medieval studies. If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact the returning officers, Orietta Da Rold (odr1(a)leicester.ac.uk) and Takako Kato (T akakoKato123(a)gmail.com <takako.kato(a)gmail.com>) who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence. The nomination period will close at 0000 UTC on Tuesday June 19 and elections will be held by electronic ballot through the whole of the week starting 28 June, 2013. Best wishes, Orietta and Takako

This might be of interest to people on this list! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [DHSI] FW: Summer School in GIS for the Digital Humanities Date: Wed, 22 May 2013 15:45:09 +0000 From: Ray Siemens <siemens(a)uvic.ca> To: DHSI List <Institute(a)lists.uvic.ca> From: <Gregory>, Ian <i.gregory(a)lancaster.ac.uk <mailto:i.gregory@lancaster.ac.uk>> *GIS for the Digital Humanities: Part of the Lancaster Summer School in Interdisciplinary Digital Methods* *Lancaster University, 15-18^th July, 2013* Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly used by historians, archaeologists, literary scholars, classicists and others, however adoption of the technology has been hampered by a lack of understanding of what GIS is and what it has to offer to these disciplines. This free summer school, sponsored by the ERCs /Spatial Humanities: Texts, GIS, Places/ project and hosted as part of the /Lancaster Summer School in Interdisciplinary Digital Methods/ provides an introduction to the use of GIS software aimed specifically at researchers from the humanities and arts. *Outline syllabus:* The course will provide an introduction to GIS software and how it can be applied to humanities research. The course assumes no prior knowledge of GIS software but a basic competence in computing is needed. We will provide hands-on training in ArcGIS, the most widely used commercial GIS software package. Other software will also be discussed. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data with them (as text files, spread sheets, databases, images, or whatever other format) so that we can investigate using it within GIS as part of the course. *Who should come?* This will be relevant to post-graduate students and early career academics who can subsequently develop these skills in their own research. This event will provide a detailed and intensive introduction to GIS software with the opportunity to work with your own data. The summer school builds on a one-day seminar held in Lancaster in November 2012. People who participated in this are encouraged to attend although attendance at this or similar events is not a requirement. *How much will it cost?* Tuition at the summer school is free and includes refreshments. All other costs must be borne by the participants. A list of possible accommodation is available from: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/travel.php. Please do *not* book this until your place on the summer school has been confirmed. *How do I apply?* Places are limited, as part of registering please include a brief description (max 200 words) of your research interests and what you want to gain from the workshop. *The* *deadline for applications is Sunday 2^nd of June*. Please email a booking form (overleaf or at http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/dh-gis-reg-form.rtf) to: I.Gregory(a)lancaster.ac.uk <mailto:I.Gregory@lancaster.ac.uk>. For more details see of the Summer School see: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool <http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/> or contact Ian Gregory at the above email address.

by Tamir Hassan 21 May '13

21 May '13

-------------------------------------------------------------------- ProDoc@DocEng Doctoral Consortium at the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering http://www.doceng2013.org/doctoral-consortium/ Call for Submissions * Submission Deadline: June 5, 2013 (24:00 CEST) * Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first time, the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering will feature a doctoral consortium, called ProDoc@DocEng. PhD students present their dissertation project and will get feedback from a panel of senior researchers as well as from the general audience. ProDoc@DocEng is intended to provide constructive criticism and help PhD students in formulating their research question, deciding about methods and approaches to use, and creating further ideas. It is a good place to learn about how to conduct a dissertation project and to learn about leading edge research, the results of which might be presented at one of the next Symposia. Participants of ProDoc@DocEng register for DocEng 2013 and will thus be able to attend all sessions of the Symposium. ProDoc@DocEng will take place during the Symposium. Each participant will be allocated 10 minutes for presentation, followed feedback and questions. There will be no publication for ProDoc@DocEng. You are not required to have an accepted paper/poster/demo for DocEng 2013 to be eligible for ProDoc@DocEng. However, if you are author or co-author of an accepted submission, we encourage you to present your dissertation project at ProDoc@DocEng. For participation, please provide a proposal, briefly outlining your dissertation topic. Please also state your affiliation or/and employer, your main supervisor and your academic background. See below for details. PhD students accepted for ProDoc@DocEng are eligible to apply for Student Travel Awards, for details see: <http://www.doceng2013.org/support-for-students> *Submission process* Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format by June 5, 2013, 24:00 CEST, via the easychair conference system: <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=doceng2013> Submissions must not exceed two pages and must conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings format <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>: - State the working title and your name and your affiliation or/and employer in the header. - State your main supervisor, your background (i.e., what kind of MA or MSc you obtained before, or what you are working on at the moment), when you started your PhD studies and when your thesis is planned to be completed. If your institution has certain rules with respect to the duration of PhD studies or internal and external readers, please add this information. Please also note if you are looking for a second supervisor. - Then, describe your dissertation project including your research question, related work, and the current status of your work (i.e., preliminary ideas, proposed approach, and results achieved so far). - If you have already published on your topic, give references. (Skip abstract and categories, and start with information on your supervisor and personal background instead.) The language of the consortium is English. All submissions must be in English. Accepted submissions will not be published in the DocEng 2013 proceedings. *Review process* All submissions will be reviewed by two members of the ProDoc@DocEng panel (to be announced). The main evaluation criteria are: originality, significance, maturity, and clarity. Acceptance for the Doctoral Consortium is competitive in nature and is based on the evaluation criteria above. *Doctoral Consortium Chair* Cerstin Mahlow, University of Konstanz, Germany (cerstin.mahlow(a)uni-konstanz.de) -- Sent by Tamir Hassan University of Konstanz, Germany Publicity Chair, DocEng 2013
