Best wishes, Agnieszka Backman, on behalf of Cesta -- Agnieszka Backman, PhD Wallenberg Postdoc at Stanford CESTA Digital Humanities Public Lecture Prof. Elaine Treharne Near and Far: Medieval Manuscripts Through Digital Time and Space [cidA01E8B58-289A-4B7E-B9C5-0F2CD1113037] Tuesday, March 9, 12 pm Pacific Register for the Zoom webinar<https://stanford.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_niYcChLtQRKHkwXLuqexDw> This lecture will investigate the lives of medieval manuscripts and fragments that date from the late sixth century to the fifteenth century, tracing their survival to the present day, when increasing numbers exist online in digital format. The benefits to scholars of digitization are incalculable, especially in a time of global pandemic when it is impossible to view manuscripts in person. But what do we see when we work with manuscripts and fragments in online form only? What are the advantages and what are the challenges of new technologies for viewing books produced by hand as new forms of data? This lecture is a call to maximise the opportunities of the digital environment, while being aware of the essential skills and expertise required to make the most of access to these incredible resources. Participants can expect a rich and diverse range of images and ideas as we look at how manuscripts become data, and data becomes new knowledge. About the speaker: Elaine Treharne, MArAd, PhD, FSA, FRHistS, FEA, FLSW, is the Roberta Bowman Denning Professor of Humanities, Professor of English, and Robert K. Packard University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University. She is a medieval literature and manuscript specialist, with expertise in the long history of human communication and archival studies. She has published over thirty books and sixty articles, mostly focused on Early English texts in their manuscript contexts, and also on the digital aspect of early textuality. She directs Stanford Text Technologies, which investigates the potential of data analysis for the study of historical knowledge production. She is interested in the record of human experience: how it is transmitted, who is remembered, and how the past is memorialised. Her newest books include Text Technologies: A History, with Claude Willan (Stanford University Press, 2019); the Cambridge Companion to British Medieval Manuscripts, ed. with Orietta Da Rold (CUP, 2020); and Perceptions of Medieval Manuscripts: The Phenomenal Book (OUP, 2021).

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 All, The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network would like to bring to your attention our second workshop, organised by Prof. Lorna Hughes and Dr Paul Gooding (University of Glasgow), on communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development. It will be held on Tues 16th March; full details below. All welcome! For a place at the workshop please register via EventBrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. We are also conducting a short survey of those working in DH in the UK or Ireland to discern gaps in capacity and training strategies, and to inform discussions around the creation of a future Association. We would love to hear your views and would be very grateful if you would consider completing our short survey<https://dariah-ireland.org/pollsurvey/index.php/1> by 15th March: many thanks indeed. We hope to see as many of you as possible for the workshop on the 16th. Please feel free to join us for all or part of the day, as your schedule allows. For full details and for future events please see our network website at https://dhnetwork.org/. Best wishes, Charlotte --- Digital Humanities and advocacy: communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development UK-Ireland DH Network workshop Tues 16th March, 10:00-16:00 Please register via Eventbrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. How should a DH Association for the UK and Ireland carry out advocacy? How can we ensure that any Association that emerges has both the authority and representation to speak on behalf of DH communities of practice? What are the entities that need expert input from the DH community, and how can the Association ensure that it informs and shapes policy and other decision making processes? The aim of this workshop is to discuss the policy areas in which DH interests need to be heard, and discuss some shared, strategic challenges where a united voice of those working in DH is needed. The workshop will explore the key issues that affect DH development in the UK and Ireland that have policy implications, areas where expert opinions and guidance may be needed, and the audiences for these views. We will focus on three key areas where advocacy is needed in DH: Research, teaching, and infrastructure. In research, these issues include the way that DH tools, methods, and outputs are assessed for national research assessment exercises and peer review of digital content, tools, methods and research outputs, and the impact of open access publishing on DH research outputs. For teaching, central issues have emerged around shared curricula and teaching assessment, especially the lessons learned from recent experimentation with online course delivery. In terms of infrastructure development, what are areas for investment that will impact the development and uptake of DH? And what can we do to effect engagement with those shaping policy regarding key infrastructure investment? Is there a need for a shared view? How can we advocate for DH, and to whom? How best can we facilitate international cooperation and collaboration: in the UK’s post-Brexit landscape, how can we stay connected despite the loss of schemes like Erasmus? How can we ensure continued UK DH involvement in H2020? And structurally, what model of DH Association in the UK and Ireland would underpin an advocacy agenda? What membership models would support an organisation that has a resonant and authoritative ‘voice’ for our field?
