The University of Iceland offers two international graduate programs in medieval studies:
(1) Medieval Icelandic Studies, a three-semester (90 ECTS) graduate program, with two semesters' (60 ECTS) worth of course work and one semester's worth (30 ECTS) master's thesis. The summer semester is the thesis semester, which means that the program can be completed in 13 months.
See https://english.hi.is/medieval_icelandic_studies
(2) Viking and Medieval Norse Studies, a four-semester (120 ECTS) graduate program run in cooperation with the University of Oslo in Norway, Aarhus University and Copenhagen University in Denmark. The first year--60 ECTS' worth of course work--take place in Iceland, but the third semester is spent either in Oslo, Aarhus, or Copenhagen, completing 30 ECTS of courses. The fourth semester is devoted to writing the master's thesis, and can be spent in Iceland or Oslo.
See http://oldnorse.is/ <http://oldnorse.is/>
Both programs are designed specifically for international students. The language of instruction is English.

Call for Proposals
*Deadline: November 18*
*Proposal form*
Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its
symposium series on Global DH into its fourth year. Digital humanities
scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range
of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden
access to cultural materials.
Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the
intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism,
intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial
frameworks to participate.
Given the growth of these fields within the digital humanities,
particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of
complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership,
cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, *endangered data*,
and the digital divide. DH communities have raised and responded to these
issues, pushing the field forward. We view the 2019 symposium as an
opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship
that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and
globally accessible data is especially welcome. Additionally, we define the
term "humanities" rather broadly to incorporate the discussion of issues
that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of the humanities.
This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types,
welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and
particularly on the following themes and topics by *Sunday, November 18,
midnight anytime:*
· Critical cultural studies and analytics
· Cultural heritage in a range of contexts
· DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement
· Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance,
especially in a postcolonial context
· DH responses to crisis
· How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital
humanities work
· Global research dialogues and collaborations
· Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital
· Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism
· Global digital pedagogies
· Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the
digital
· Digital and global languages and literatures
· The state of global digital humanities community
· Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change
· Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions,
languages, and economies
· Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context
· Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context
*Presentation Formats:*
· 5-minute lightning talk
· 15-minute presentation
· 90-minute workshop
· 90-minute panel
· There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute
virtual presentations
Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please
refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal.
*Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 22, 2018*

Dear colleagues,
On January 16-18 2019, the Pireh (Pôle Informatique de Recherche et
d'Enseignement en Histoire – Université Paris 1) is organizing at the
Sorbonne a conference on the relationship between History, language and
text analysis, with the support of the university Paris 1
Pantheon-Sorbonne and the Lamop (Laboratoire de Médiévistique
Occidentale de Paris).
Through 27 papers and 7 posters, the participants will explore the
present uses of statistical and computational analysis of texts in
history. Recent intellectual and technical developments invite us to
rethink and redefine the way these tools can be used by historians,
whether for combining history and linguistics, exploring or mining
massive textual sources, or for enriching more traditional historical
methods.
Short texts and ego-documents, a type of source frequently used by
historians will be the topic of a first session. Another group of papers
will show how data mining can be used to explore and study large corpora
of historical texts. A full session will be devoted to temporality in
text analysis, an essential yet often neglected dimension in the work of
historians. The last session will adress the relationship between
language, concepts, and authority and the uses of text analysis in this
field of study.

Dear all,
We are happy to announce a workshop on the perennial question: “Does
Intellectual History need Digital Humanities?” on 11.-12.12.2018.
This workshop is the second symposium on Computational Approaches to
Intellectual History and the History of Philosophy organised by Helsinki
Computational History Group. In the Spring 2017, the Never Mine the
Mind? -seminar focused on demonstrating exploratory work necessary for
an understanding of how methods of data and text mining can be useful in
the study of intellectual history and the history of philosophy.
For the programme of the December 2018 workshop, see:

###### EXTENDED DEADLINE ######
###### AIUCD 2019 - Call for Papers ######
8th AIUCD Conference
"Pedagogy, teaching, and research in the age of Digital Humanities"
Udine, Italy, January 23th - 25th, 2019
Web site:
http://aiucd2019.uniud.it
###### Important Dates ######
Extended Submission Deadline: 5th November 2018
Notification: 15th December 2018
###### Call for Papers ######
The main topic of the AIUCD 2019 Conference is ‘Pedagogy, teaching, and
research in the age of Digital Humanities’. The conference aims at
reflecting on the new possibilities that the digital yields for pedagogy,
teaching, and scholarly research: how will these transform teaching in the
humanities? What contributions can humanistic cultural critique offer to
the digital revolution? What is the connection with the digitization plan
for Universities outlined by the Ministry? It also concerns the Digital
Humanities as a new discipline, and this brings forward further
considerations: how can the new professional figure of the digital humanist
be developed? Which areas of knowledge define the Digital Humanities as a
subject of study, research, and teaching? How can we recognise, classify,
describe, and evaluate research efforts in the Digital Humanities?
While open to other topics related to Digital Humanities, proposals for
contributions are particularly encouraged on the following:
General questions:
- the epistemological positioning and area of knowledge of DH in relation
to the systems of Academic Research Areas (Settori
Scientifico-Disciplinari) and Recruiting in Italy;
- the positioning of DH in the European and International academic systems;
- the evaluation of research in DH beyond traditional publications;
- dissemination, public history, and crowdsourcing within research projects;
- the role of inter(multi-trans-cross)-disciplinary DH research in European
projects, enquiry, and teaching.
Pedagogy and teaching questions:
- teaching DH: which models, technologies, and methods?
- teaching the humanities in secondary schools and universities with DH
tools;
- teaching DH at the University: how is it taught today?
- DH and media: production, dissemination, and analytical prospects
- teaching history and DH;
- DH and didactic strategies;
- DH and hands-on teaching practices;
- DH and primary source teaching;
- Big Data methodologies and technologies in DH research and teaching.
Questions concerning research efforts:
- statistical and quantitative research methods and their teaching
applications;
- Data Science and the role of DH in the definition of new knowledge;
- Information science and DH: meeting points and methodological
integration;
- cultural and social impact of humanities research with computational
methodologies;
- Semantic web technologies and linked open data in the humanities;
- models and tools for knowledge representation in the humanities and the
cultural heritage sector;
- visualization methodologies and technologies and their significance for
humanities and cultural heritage knowledge and information;
- Natural Language Processing methodologies and applications for the
humanities;
- digitization methodologies and technologies for the production,
preservation, and promotion of digital cultural heritage.
