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 Friday, December 9,
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

*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,

Dear colleagues,
I am happy to announce that I now have images available through a Creative Commons licensing from the Manuscripts of Lichfield Cathedral website: https://lichfield.ou.edu . These images include the 9th-century St Chad Gospels and Lichfield Cathedral’s 15th-century Wycliffe New Testament. I provide two sizes of images: medium-sized (the size I normally work with) and full-sized.
For the St Chad Gospels, I include additional descriptive information in the metadata, such as chapter & verse numbers to facilitate use of the images. I will gradually add this information to the images for the Wycliffe New Testament.
Because granting a CC license represents a generosity that exceeds most publicly funded libraries and museums, I include a donate<http://www.lichfield-cathedral.org/donate/donate> link in case anyone would like to express their appreciation. Lichfield Cathedral receives no state funding.
Finally, I now have the website moved to its new home at the University of Oklahoma. You will notice that the images for download have corrected final adjustments. These images will replace those on the whole website soon.
Best,
Bill

Manuscript Studies: A Journal of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies aims to bring together scholarship from around the world and across disciplines related to the study of pre-modern manuscript books and documents. This peer-reviewed journal is open to contributions that rely on both traditional methodologies of manuscript study and those that explore the potential of new ones. We publish articles that engage in a larger conversation on manuscript culture and its continued relevance in today's world and highlight the value of manuscript evidence in understanding our shared cultural and intellectual heritage. Studies that incorporate digital methodologies to further understanding of the physical and conceptual structures of the manuscript book are encouraged. A separate section, entitled Annotations, features research in progress and digital project reports.
We are delighted to announce that the Fall 2016 issue is out and available online through Project Muse (https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/35280 ).
