Report from the ACH at DH2011
by Dot Porter 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Of interest to DM, a report from the ACH (Association for Computers and the Humanities: http://www.ach.org/) general meeting at DH2011 (Digital Humanities 2011 conference: https://dh2011.stanford.edu/) Especially of interest may be the last item in the report, a discussion of ACH partnering with other groups to support local/regional events. Not mentioned in the report, there was also a discussion about ACH partnering with scholarly organizations and communities. As someone with connections both to DM (former board member) and to the ACH (current executive secretary) I'd be interested to hear ideas from the DM community on how the ACH might be able to support our community.

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:53:46 -0700 From: Stéfan_Sinclair <sgsinclair(a)gmail.com> Subject: Report from ACH Annual General Meeting at Stanford Dear Colleagues, This is intended as a brief report on the ACH Annual General Meeting that took place during the Digital Humanities 2011 conference at Stanford. The first notable aspect of the meeting was the astounding attendance: there were over 80 people present. In the past years the meeting has shifted from reporting the deliberations of the Executive Council (not always the most compelling content) to a summary of key points and a more open format of discussion and community-focused initiatives. We began the meeting by recognizing the passing away of our friend and colleague Chuck Bush, who was the ACH Treasurer and served on its executive council for more than 20 years (see http://ach.org/charles-douglas-bush-1948-2011). New members of the Executive Council were welcomed and outgoing members were thanked. A warm and sustained ovation was reserved for Julia Flanders, outgoing President extraordinaire. Next we launched into the annual ACH Jobs Slam, a chance for prospective employees to introduce themselves (Ed Finn and Molly Des Jardin) as well as an encouraging range of job opportunities: * Mellon Postdocs at Emory: http://bit.ly/disc-postdoc * Research Professorship at BYU: http://bit.ly/jWu6EI * Lecturer in Digital Information Studies at UCL: http://bit.ly/hFCaRH * Assoc. Library Director of Digital Initiatives at McGill: http://bit.ly/kcD1gz * Digital Humanities Academic Administrator at UCLA: http://bit.ly/iCQI4g * Web Developers at NYPL: http://bit.ly/mRGKA0 We also pointed to two very useful lists of jobs: http://www.arts-humanities.net/jobs and http://www.hastac.org/forum/23 Finally, we reminded everyone of the ongoing ACH mentoring programme http://ach.org/mentoring We encourage thesis supervisors who have students finishing and looking for DH-oriented jobs to contact the Mentoring committee. Following the Jobs Slam we covered some new and ongoing initiatives. In particular: * the ACH has a completely revamped website! http://ach.org/ * we invited everyone to express interest to get involved in ACH committees * we discussed the success of DHAnswers and invited colleagues to contribute http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ Finally, we had two open discussion topics. The first was regarding a possible name change for ACH. The Executive Council recognizes that "Association of Computers and the Humanities" may not be as expressive of contemporary digital humanities scholarship and teaching as it might be. Some present pointed out the danger that the title may keep new people away. However, the overwhelming tenor of the discussion was that a change would present several logistical challenges and there was a certain attachment to the historical context that the ACH represents (much like the anachronistic sounding Association for Computing Machinery). Moreover, using the acronym ACH somewhat masks the details anyway. Second, we discussed possibilities for the ACH to partner with local events to provide more continuous and more regional support and presence for the ACH constituency. A whole range of suggestions were offered and the ACH Exec will try experimenting with some of them and report back about this next year. Thanks to all who were present and contributed!

Research Associate vacancy at King's College London, Centre for e-Research
by Tupman, Charlotte 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Research Associate at King's College London, Centre for e-Research The Centre for e-Research is seeking a Research Associate with strong technical and software development skills to work on e-research projects at the Centre. These projects may result in case studies, proofs of concept and pilots as well as in software for operational service, so the post offers an exciting opportunity to contribute both to the development of the digital and research infrastructure at King's and its collaborators, and to more exploratory development of innovative ideas solutions using cutting edge approaches. The post-holder will be expected to publish the results of research undertaken in relevant journals. Some current and past projects may be found at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/iss/cerch/projects/. Approximately 75% of the post-holder's work (on average over the 2 years of the appointment) will be dedicated to the SAWS (Sharing Ancient Wisdoms) project, an EU-funded international collaboration that is exploring ways of exploiting the digital environment for creating, publishing and interacting with selected digital collections of manuscripts and texts, specifically Greek and Arabic “wisdom literature”. These anthologies of wise or useful sayings were widely circulated throughout antiquity and the middle ages, and they raise particular challenges at a technical and information modelling level due to the complex network of interrelationships among them and among their component parts. The SAWS project requires an imaginative research associate capable of researching, devising and developing innovative methodologies and tools for creating these complex resources, for expressing relationships between them, and for publishing, visualising and exploring them. The remaining 25% will be spent on other projects at the Centre, depending on ongoing requirements and the interests of the appointee. The candidate will preferably have an education in information science or computer science, or a humanities degree with a strong technical component. Due to the exploratory nature of the work, the role will require problem-solving ability and a high degree of initiative, as well as flexibility and a keenness to learn. Knowledge of Java, web development technologies (e.g. XML, Django, Ajax) and web service technologies is essential. Experience of linked data/semantic web technologies (e.g. RDF, OWL), and of other programming languages (e.g. Python, Ruby), would be an advantage. This is a full-time position, initially for a period of 24 months. Salary for the position will be at an appropriate point of Grade 6, currently £33,193 to £39,185 per annum (inclusive of a £2,323 London allowance). Benefits include a contributory final salary pension scheme, subsidised gym membership and 27 days of annual leave, 4 college closure days, plus public holidays. For more details and an application pack please see http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/pertra/vacancy/external/pers_detail.php?jobinde…. Alternatively, please email strand-recruitment(a)kcl.ac.uk. All correspondence should clearly state the job title and reference number G6/QLJ/408/11-JT. For an informal discussion of the post please contact Mark Hedges on mark.hedges(a)kcl.ac.uk, or 020 7848 1970. The closing date is: 12 July 2011 -- Dr. Charlotte Tupman Research Associate Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 7145 www.kcl.ac.uk/ddh

4th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age October 21-22, 2011 Writing the East: History and New Technologies in the Study of Asian Manuscript Traditions In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Penn Libraries are pleased to announce the 4th annual <http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium.html> Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium will explore a range of issues relating to Asian reading and writing cultures, especially as they pertain to the manuscript source. Our focus will be on Asian manuscripts from the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian traditions. We will bring together scholars representing these traditions to examine the ways in which hand-produced texts shape both meaning and interpretation, and to a larger extent, the cultural norms that define their use. We will also consider the role that modern digital technology can play in facilitating the study of manuscripts today. Registration opens August 15. For more information, go to <http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium4.html> http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium4.html ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Project Manager, Lawrence J.
