Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University March 16-17, 2017 CFP Deadline Extended + Keynote Speakers Announced We are delighted to announce that the keynote speakers for the Symposium are: - Padmini Ray Murray (Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology) - Elizabeth LaPensée (Michigan State University) We are committed to bringing a wide-ranging and diverse group of participants and presenters for our conference. To further this end, there will be funds available to assist or offset the costs of travel. Please email us [dh(a)msu.edu] with any questions or clarification. Call for Proposals *Deadline (EXTENDED) to submit a proposal: Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST* msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions <http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/>, values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form expresses a critique of the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of 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, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 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. Michigan State University has been intentionally global <http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/> for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/>, a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/> that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships, and capacity building. WIDE <http://wide.msu.edu/> has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/>. Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. 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 Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - 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 - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator College of Arts and Letters Michigan State University 718-216-5695 kristenmapes.com kmapes(a)msu.edu kmapes86(a)gmail.com

REMINDER: DiXiT Workshop CfP - The educational and social impact of Digital Scholarly Editions
by Elena Spadini 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

*Apologies for cross posting* Dear all, this is a reminder that the deadline for submitting a proposal for the DiXiT Workshop *The educational and social impact of Digital Scholarly Editions* is fast approaching. More information below. DiXiT workshop: Call for Proposals The educational and social impact of Digital Scholarly Edition Deadline: December 10, 2016 Digilab and DiXiT network (http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/) organize a one day workshop on the educational application and social impact of digital scholarly editions. The workshop will take place on *Tuesday, January 24, 2016*, in conjunction with the *AIUCD 2017 Conference *and the 3rd *EADH Day *(aiucd2017.aiucd.it) at the Sapienza University of Roma. Keynote speech by *Agiatis Benardou*, Senior Researcher at the Digital Curation Unit, ATHENA R.C. and manager of Europeana Research: “’Signatures of all things I am here to read’: Digital Research as Practice, Digital Networks as Public Engagement”. Invited talk by *Silvia Orlandi*, Associate Professor of Latin Epigraphy at Sapienza University: “EAGLE dedicated services and their educational potential”. The goal of the workshop is to share experiences and foster theoretical reflections about the impact of digital scholarly editing products and methods, primarily in the educational context, but also in the more general social context. The use of digital technologies in teaching prompts a reflection on the added value of using these technologies and raises some controversial questions. At the same time, digital research outcomes and methods should not be considered as separate from the more general cultural and social context. In this sense, digital scholarly editions can play a relevant role in the public engagement of humanities scholarship. These topics can be articulated in the following issues: - the digital editions in teaching philology and textual criticism - digital editions in disciplinary context - digital editions and their social impact - digital editions and academic publishing - digital editions and public humanities The organizers solicit proposals for interventions in form of papers, small tutorials session, round table and lightening talks. *Abstracts of max 500 words can be submitted* via the AIUCD 2017 ConfTool, available at *http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017/ <http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017/>*. The official language of the Workshop is English. Submitters must create an account on the system and then use the specific type of submission “DIXIT Workshop”. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by December 20, 2016. On behalf of the organising committee, Elena Spadini -- *huygens.knaw.nl/elena-spadini <https://www.huygens.knaw.nl/elena-spadini/?lang=en>*
