Graduate positions, Visionary Cross
by O'Donnell, Dan 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Dear all, I would be grateful if you could pass on this notice to students interested in pursuing graduate research. Best, -dan The Visionary Cross and the Humanities Innovation Lab at the University of Lethbridge seek curious and enthusiastic graduate students for funded research positions at the MA and Ph.D. levels. If you are interested in Early Medieval England, 3-D Visualization, Humanities Data or the Digital Humanities, we are interested in hearing from you. We can also consider other proposals related to our work. The Visionary Cross is a case study in the future and implications of digital editions. The Project uses and critiques newly developed digital technologies in the study of a collection of important monuments and texts of early medieval England: the eighth-century Ruthwell and Bewcastle Stone Crosses from the kingdom of Northumbria, the eleventh-century Brussels Reliquary Cross and the late tenth-/early eleventh-century Vercelli Book poems “The Dream of the Rood” and “Elene from the south.” The project explores the ways in which these objects are connected to each other and the ways in which they might be best represented digitally. The Humanities Innovation Lab also hosts the Canterbury Tales Project, Humanities Data Inquiry, and the Lethbridge Journal Incubator. We have been very successful in recent funding rounds internally and externally and are developing a cohort of students at the MA and PhD level interested in Digital Humanities, Medieval English Literature, Textual Scholarship and Criticism, and Research Communication/Open Science/Open Data. What we are looking for: We seek students interested in Early Medieval England, Old English, manuscript studies, digital research methods, digital humanities and Open Science. You are a curious and enthusiastic research student who will take an active role in the project while carrying out your individual line of research. You want to work as part of a team and contribute to the lab’s research environment. You believe in open science and open data published under FAIR principles. Your interests might include: Early Medieval England 3-D Representation Object-Oriented Editions Old English Literature Manuscript Culture Textual Scholarship Open Data Digital Humanities… ...but we are open to considering other proposals. If you have an innovative critical approach, we want to hear from you. What we offer: We are offering funding for a Ph.D. or M.A. within a lively and diverse working environment. You will learn from peers and project leaders in the framework of the Humanities Innovation Lab, where you can learn about all aspects of the project and its management while sharing in the lab’s collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. Our project works closely with several other well-funded Digital Humanities and Open Science projects at the University including work on Indigenous languages, Scholarly Communication, and Open Data. The University has a number of innovative cross-disciplinary programmes, including Cultural, Social, and Political Thought (which takes an interdisciplinary approach to problems in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and a new Data Sciences programme, which is developing an approach that will span the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities. Lethbridge is a medium-sized city with a mild climate for the Canadian Prairies. It is located on the lands of the Blackfoot confederacy. Please contact professor Daniel O’Donnell (daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca), for an informal conversation. The deadline for a September start is February 2nd.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear list members, As part of the Mellon-funded initiative “Communicating the TEI to a multilingual community,” we are researching the contexts and uses of the Text Encoding Initiative among the global Spanish-speaking community. If you have used the TEI for your research or taken any TEI course at any level, and you are either part of the Global Spanish-speaking community or work with Spanish texts encoded in TEI, you are kindly invited to answer these questions. We are interested in surveying the different scenarios where TEI is used, the geographical diversity, and needs for training and learning resources. We are launching this survey in the hopes of covering all those Spanish-speaking areas, but also all those projects and users from other regions working with Spanish primary sources (e.g. projects in the US, using primary sources in Spanish, etc.). The survey consists of 22 questions and should not take more than 10 minutes to complete. The survey is anonymous, although we ask about your affiliation and nationality in order to obtain a better understanding from a geographical point of view (we do not ask for demographic information such as age, gender, ethnicity or religion). The survey’s data will be used for a Report on the uses of the TEI and the needs of the Spanish community. The survey can be answered either in Spanish or English and will remain open until February 28, 2022. Please share it with colleagues and friends who might be able to contribute! Follow this link to the Survey: https://bit.ly/encuestaTEI or copy and paste the URL into your internet browser: https://umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aWx84qH6cih9Xf0 We really appreciate your collaboration and we truly value the information you can provide us.

SIMS Online Lecture Series_This Week!: Tara L. Andrews, December 17

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. A reminder that the next SIMS Online Lecture is happening this Friday! The Rescue of Armenian Historiography and the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa Tara L. Andrews, University of Vienna Friday, December 17, 2021, 12:00 - 1:30 pm EST (via Zoom) Of the thirty-five manuscripts that remain of the 12th-century Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa, not a single one dates from before 1590, but over half of them were produced by 1700. This pattern of survival reflects a wider reality for Armenian literature, where the ravages of war and persecution, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries, gave way to a period of relative peace in the 17th century that provided an opportunity for a conscious "rescue" of the Armenian literary heritage, especially (but not exclusively) centered around the Amrdolu monastery of Bitlis, near Lake Van. In this talk I will present some of the features and puzzles of the manuscript tradition of the Chronicle that speak to this restoration, and at the same time give us glimpses into the history of the developing Armenian diaspora. Registration is free and open to the public but required to receive the Zoom link. For more information and the link to register can be found here: The Rescue of Armenian Historiography and the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa | Penn Libraries (upenn.edu)<https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/rescue-armenian-histori…>.
