Call for Nominations to DM Board 2021–2023
Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of June and the beginning of July 2021 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 is 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 journal, organizing virtual programs and conference sessions, maintaining the DM website and social media platforms, etc.).
For further information about the Executive and Digital Medievalist more generally please see the DM website, particularly:
https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/board-roles/https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/election-procedures/https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/bylaws/
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 to the field of digital medieval studies. We especially encourage nominations of digital medievalists living and/or working outside the US and Europe.
If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact Lynn Ransom (lransom[at]upenn[dot]edu<mailto:lransom@upenn.edu>) or Claudia Sojer (claudia[dot]sojer[at]uibk[dot]ac[dot]at<mailto:claudia.sojer@uibk.ac.at>) who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, May 26 2021, and elections will be held by electronic ballot from Monday, 21 June 2021, closing at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 5 July 2021.

Dear colleagues,
We are offering a workshop titled “Making an edition of a text in many versions” as part of the 11th European Summer University in Digital Humanities – Culture & Technology between August 3-13, 2021.
This two-week workshop (36 hours over ten days) will teach how to use the Textual Communities<http://www.textualcommunities.org/> environment to carry out every stage of preparing a scholarly edition of a text in many versions. Students will learn how to gather images of many versions of texts together, to transcribe their text into TEI/XML, how to collate the versions and prepare an apparatus, how to use phylogenetic, variant database and other tools to analyze the agreements and disagreements between the versions to create stemmata and other visualizations, and how to publish the edition online. Models of the kind of edition which users will be able to make can be seen at www.sd-editions.com<http://www.sd-editions.com/> (for example, Dante’s Commedia at http://www.sd-editions.com/AnaAdditional/CommediaEx/CommediaExhome.html<http://www.sd-editions.com/AnaAdditional/CommediaEx/CommediaExhome.html>; part of the Canterbury Tales at http://www.inklesseditions.com/TCP/Subscription/RE/<http://www.sd-editions.com/TCPub/WBP/>). The workshop will be taught in English and Spanish.
The deadline for applications is May 15, 2021. More information may be found at https://esu.fdhl.info/making-an-edition-of-a-text-in-many-versions/. You can apply to join the workshop through ConfTool at https://www.conftool.org/esu2020/.

Dear digital medievalists,
The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is calling for reviews for a special issue of the journal RIDE<https://ride.i-d-e.de/>, dedicated to Tools and Environments for Digital Scholarly Editing (DSE).
The first issue<https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-11/> of RIDE dedicated to Tools and Environments was published in January 2020. Reviews for the second issue will be accepted until the 30st of September 2021.
To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a structure for the evaluation, we provide Criteria for Reviewing Digital Tools and Environments for DSE that are supposed to be applicable to various types of resources. The guidelines (Version 1.0) can be found here<https://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-tools-version-…>.
We kindly ask you to email us before start reviewing a tool at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de<http://i-d-e.de/> with a suggestion of which resource you would like to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area of expertise. This is important in order to avoid multiple reviews of the same tool.
Background
In the introduction to his book Software takes command (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013) Lev Manovich states that “software has become our interface to the world, to others, to our memory and our imagination”. Is the same happening in the world of digital scholarly editing? Certainly we cannot ignore their fundamental role in our daily scholarly practices and in the interactions with our objects of study. Insofar as tools shape scholarly editions, they also shape scholarly editing.
A new RIDE issue is devoted to tools for digital scholarly editing. The aim of this issue is to:
* contribute to the discussion about tooling in Digital Humanities,
* bring to the forefront the instruments instead of the final products,
* provide a venue for discussing best practices in the development and usage of tools,
* list useful resources for all those involved in scholarly editing.
Beyond that, we hope that the critical examination of digital tools draws greater attention to the (scholarly) achievements that their creation and maintenance imply.
The journal RIDE was founded in 2014 to “provide a forum in which expert peers criticise and discuss the efforts of digital editors in order to improve current practices and advance future developments” (RIDE Editorial). RIDE is Open Access, reviews are published as HTML and downloadable as TEI. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. The special issue on Digital Tools and Environments for DSE will be edited by Anna-Maria Sichani (University of Sussex) and Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne).
Submission details
Reviews are accepted in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. The length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource offers that is worthy of discussion (approximately 2000-5000 words).
Please submit your review at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de<http://i-d-e.de/> as an editable text file (preferably, but not necessarily docx to facilitate the conversion to TEI). Please send illustrations as separate image files (jpg or png) and leave a note in the text as a placeholder for each image. In addition to the text, we collect keywords. Each review should be accompanied by a short abstract in English, independently of the language used in the main text.
For further information please check the general RIDE guidelines for writing and submitting<http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/writing-and-submitting/>. The questionnaire mentioned in the submission checklist has been designed for scholarly digital editions so far. We will keep you informed about how to proceed with the questionnaire for this special issue.
All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. We believe that this is important because the evaluation of digital scholarly resources usually requires a double expertise in digital methods as well as in individual disciplines. This is also to increase the credit for reviews.

The Digital Medievalist Executive Board and Postgraduate Subcommittee are delighted to announce our first virtual symposium:
The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Medieval Studies: A Global Digital Medievalist Symposium
To be held 24 May, 11 June, and 21 June, 2021,
The era of COVID-19 has been transformational for medieval digital humanities. Medievalists have come to learn the limits and possibilities of online scholarship, whether in the virtual classroom or in the transfer of knowledge among specialists. Although direct access to material sources and the easy face-to-face exchanges with colleagues are deeply missed, we have come to understand that digitally-inflected scholarship can be more economical, more global, and -in limited ways- more equitable for many medievalists. And because we have come to this inflection point, members of the Digital Medievalist Board are launching a conference series that marks this turn and aims to build upon what we have learned. Our theme, The Past, Present and Future of Medieval Digital Humanities is both retrospective and prospective in scope, bringing digital medievalist practitioners into conversation with each other as we step into a new scholarly environment where digital methods take on a new importance.
Our new global awareness has inspired us to plan three conference dates, each of which is aligned with a geographic space and accommodates scholars from three time zones grouped as The Americas, Asia & Oceania, and Europe & Africa. The Americas conversation will take place on Monday, 24 May 2021, Asia & Oceania on Friday, 11 June, and Africa & Europe on Monday, 21 June.
For more information about, including schedules, and to register for each conference, go to https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-dig…
We look forward to seeing you at all three events!
