Fwd: [Humanist] 26.920 how to start & sustain a centre?
by Alex Gil 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Hi all, In case you missed this message from Lynne Siemens, I forward the gist to this list. "Building on recent posts and discussions coming from those interested in starting a DH Centre, CentreNet has started a new Initiative: Starting and Sustaining a DH Center ( http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/resources-for-starting-and-sustainin…). This page has links to talks, articles, books and DH centre proposals and models. To supplement this page, we have also started a listserv. You can subscribe at http://lists.lists.digitalhumanities.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcenterstartup or contact me at siemensl(a)uvic.ca. I am also putting in a call for other resources to supplement this page. If you have proposals, talks, articles and other resources that talk about strategies, partnership models and other information needed to start a centre, please direct them my way."

DH in India
by Domenico Fiormonte 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Dear all, you don't have necessarily to believe in cosmic synchronies, but on the same day of my departure from India "The Times of India" has published this article (thanks to Andrew Prescott for posting it on Humanist): http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-03-22/kolkata/37936120_1_d… Although the Indian newspaper could not know, Gurpreet Singh of Lovely Professional University (Punjab) kindly invited me to give a talk on global DH on March 4th. It was an exciting experience for me, and the local organizers successfully managed to put together an audience made of people coming from a number of different faculties and departments. LPU it's a fast-growing and dymanic private university, and I was impressed by the quality of intellectual engagement of the colleagues and administrators I met: they all showed a great interest in creating an inter-faculty research group on DH! I think Gurpreet will circulate soon a report on our meetings, but I just wanted to congratulate (and thank) him again for organizing this event and reiterate my encouragement and full support for devoloping an "Indian way" to Digital Humanities. Sat siri akal! Domenico

A couple more volunteers sought for adjudication, especially with experience in Latin America/Caribbean and/or Africa
by Daniel O'Donnell 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi all, I'd like to thank those who have already volunteered to help draw up the call and terms for our research prizes and to serve on the adjudication panel. Currently I have the following people down (in no particular order) as volunteering; in one or two cases their ability to help will depend on some other commitments): * Heidi Estes * Gurpreet Singh * Domenico Fiormonte * Jieh Hsiang * Barbara Bordalejo * Hilary Culbertson (if you've volunteered and I missed you, please forgive me and drop me a quick reminder!) At ADHO there has been a lot of talk recently about the subtle ways in which Anglo-American academic practice is often unconsciously taken as the norm in our community, especially at conferences and the like. Since for this call I'm extremely eager to avoid falling into this trap, I'm looking for as wide an experience as possible. I don't think the work will be particularly heavy, so especially if you have some senior experience in Africa or Latin America/The Caribbean, I hope you'll consider helping us put together the terms of reference for this competition! I think this is going to be a very interesting and enjoyable experience! -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Fwd: [Centernet-centers] centerNet launches new membership drive
by Neil Fraistat 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

All--We'd appreciate your help in spreading this news about centerNet's membership drive to centers in regions where you live or are connected to through your work.--Thanks, Neil ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bauer, Jean <jean_bauer(a)brown.edu> Date: Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 8:50 AM Subject: [Centernet-centers] centerNet launches new membership drive To: centernet-centers(a)digitalhumanities.org *CALLING ALL DH CENTERS! Now in its initial full year as a constituent organization of ADHO,centerNetis launching its first drive for paid membership. Please join our international group of founding centers<http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/about/#founding_centers>and become a member now! centerNet was founded to address the particular needs of centers as such, rather than those of individual practitioners. Who is eligible for membership? If you think your center is a digital humanities center, in whole or in part, then we’d be glad to have you join centerNet. We leave the definition of “digital humanities” up to you, but we intend to be inclusive, and we know that there will be cross-over into the social sciences, media studies, digital arts, and other related areas. This might include humanities centers with a strong interest in or focus on digital platforms. One caveat—a “center” should be larger than a single project, and it should have some history or promise of persistence. Anchored by its forthcoming new publication DH Commons<http://dhcommons.org/>and initiatives such as Day(s) of DH <http://dayofdh2012.artsrn.ualberta.ca/>, centerNet enables individual DH Centers to network internationally — sharing and building on projects, tools, staff and expertise — thereby providing a virtual DH center for isolated DH projects and a platform for educating the broader scholarly community about Digital Humanities. centerNet membership fees are paid on a per-center basis through the Oxford University Press Website. We understand that digital humanities centers, labs, and projects come in all shapes and sizes. So we have created a tiered membership system that makes the benefits of centerNet membership available to as many centers as possible. Membership dues are based on your center's FTE headcount and range from $400 to as low as $80 or free, for centers in developing countries. See our Membership page<http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/join/>for more details. To join centerNet now go here<http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/litlin/access_purchase/price_lis…>. * -- Jean Bauer Digital Humanities Librarian Brown University Library Executive Secretary, *centerNet* jean_bauer(a)brown.edu (401)863-5120 _______________________________________________ Centernet-centers mailing list Centernet-centers(a)digitalhumanities.org http://lists.digitalhumanities.org/mailman/listinfo/centernet-centers -- Neil Fraistat Professor of English & Director Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) 0301 Hornbake Library North University of Maryland 301-405-5896 or 301-314-7111 (fax) http://www.mith.umd.edu/ https://twitter.com/fraistat

Welcome new members and apologies to the new members for the delay in subscribing them!
by O'Donnell, Dan 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hi all, The administrative side of the mailing list seems to have been having trouble the last little while. I just had a "probe" message from them because email subscription requests have been bouncing from me. When I clicked on to the management page, I saw to my horror that there were 9 people waiting to be subscribed (we are up to 215 members) I apologise! We have several people who monitor subscription requests and we all seem to have missed it, so the problem is deeper than just one person. I've cc'd our tech people here to see about getting to the root of the problem.
