Closing the Gap
by Bordalejo, Barbara 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

Dear Colleagues, During the last few weeks I have reviewed some articles (all in English) by non-native speakers. Some times they are almost perfect, some others they are far from it. I know that my own texts suffer the same problems. Clearly, this is a factor that keeps scholars, who are not native speakers of English, marginalised. We had a similar discussion on the subject of the Anglo-American (and Canadian) hegemony in the field, but I don't recall a concrete solution being offered. In any case, I have an idea that might be helpful. I was wondering whether I could ask those of you with native or near-native English skills to volunteer to proof articles to avoid rejections based on bad expression or avoidable mistakes. If you think that you can contribute to this, send me an e-mail and I will compile a list of volunteers to put in the GO::DH website. Thank you for your help, BB

JDH Peer Review Debate
by Alex Gil 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hi all, In case you haven't seen this. An important and truly difficult debate is happening on (mostly US) social media channels around the US-based Journal of Digital Humanities peer-review process. Here is the post by Adeline Koh that sparked the debate. http://www.adelinekoh.org/blog/2013/08/29/journalofdigitalhumanitie/ It is my sincere hope that as a community we can get beyond the growing pains that come with experimentation and diversification. This will be especially challenging at a global scale. Optimistic, A.

Sarah, I'm interested, especially in DH from the library perspective, although I'm not working on a particular project. I know of several libraries building amazing digital collections (UNM for a start) of LAS-related materials. I'm thinking something along the lines of of a survey or theory contribution. Besides, it would be fun to work with you again!

The message below is from Sarah A. Buck Kachaluba, sbuckkachaluba(a)fsu.edu<mailto:sbuckkachaluba@fsu.edu>. El siguiente mensaje es de Sarah A. Buck Kachaluba, sbuckkachaluba(a)fsu.edu<mailto:sbuckkachaluba@fsu.edu>. ============================ Hi all, I am interested in proposing a panel, roundtable, or worship for LASA 2014 on "Digital Humanities Initiatives in Latin American Studies." To explain what I am thinking of doing, I'd like to reference some previous initiatives. Last year's Modern Languages Association conference included a workshop titled "Get Started in Digital Humanities with Help from DH Commons" (Thursday, 3 January 2013, 8:30 am-12:30 pm): http://dhcommons.org/mla2013 This inspired a panel presentation at Florida State University, in which scholars briefly offered their own definitions of digital humanities and described digital humanities projects that they had or were currently working on. http://digitalscholars.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/on-getting-started/ I thought it would be great to do something similar at LASA - have a few people talk about their own work in Digital Humanities to open up a discussion about what is happening in this exciting and growing field in Latin American Studies. I am currently working on funding applications to pursue the following Digital Humanities project and I would be willing to chair and present on the panel. Please let me know asap if you are interested in collaborating with me. My project involves the digital publication of oral histories of women revolutionary activists in Mexico between the 1920s and 1950s, in order to make these rich primary sources more widely accessible to students and scholars. I propose to archive these through a web-based environment linked to Florida State University and institutions in Mexico (two possibilities for the latter are the Archivo General del Estado de Yucatán and the Instituto para el Desarrollo de la Cultura Maya). The heart of this collection consists of 57 interviews that I conducted in 2000, with women who were members of revolutionary women's leagues in the state of Yucatán between the 1920s and 1950s. These interviews are unique and provide historical, anthropological, and sociological insight into socio-economic, political, religious, and agricultural events and processes between the late nineteenth and late twentieth centuries. They will be useful to researchers in many disciplines and will constitute valuable additions to FSU's and other institution's collections. The project requires: + editing 26 completed transcriptions and completing transcriptions of the remaining interviews + converting cassette recordings of the interviews to digital formats + making copies of audio recordings and transcripts and traveling to Yucatán in order to bring these to each community and relatives of each woman interviewed and to secure permission from living family members to archive the interviews + laying the foundations to apply for additional grants to build a digital platform for others to access this material Please contact me if you are interested in participating! -------- Saludos a todos, Estoy interesada en proponer un panel, mesa redonda, o taller para LASA 2014 que trata de "Las Humanidades Digitales en los Estudios Latino Americanos." Para explicar lo que estoy pensando, me gustaría mencionar algunas iniciativas anteriores. La conferencia de la Asociación de Lenguas Modernas en 2013 incluyo un taller entitulado "Get Started in Digital Humanities with Help from DH Commons" (Jueves, 3 de enero de 2013, 8:30 am-12:30 pm): http://dhcommons.org/mla2013 Este evento inspiro una presentación de un panel en mi Universidad (Florida State University), en cual escolares ofrecieron sus definiciónes de las humanidades Digitales y describieron proyectos de humanidades digitales que ellos habían desarrollados o estaban desarrollando. http://digitalscholars.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/on-getting-started/ Personalmente me gustaria hacer algo parecido en LASA: encontrar unos investigadores para hablar de sus propios proyectos en las humanidades digitales y abrir una discussion de lo que está pasando en esté creciendo campo en los estudios latinoamericanos. En este medio ambiente en los estudios latinoamericanos, estoy trabajando en solicitudes de becas/fondos para desarrollar el siguiente proyecto y pudiera funcionar como coordinadora, moderadora, y/o presentadora en el panel. Mi proyecto se basa la publicación de historias orales de mujeres quienes fueron activistas revolucionarias en Mexico entre los años 20 y los 50 del siglo XX, para que estas fuentes primarias muy ricas puedan ser más accessibles a estudiantes y investigadores. Propongo archivarlas por un medio ambiente del internet que esté vinculado a Florida State University y tambien instituciónes en Mexico (dos posibilidades en Mexico son el Archivo General del Estado de Yucatán and el Instituto para el Desarrollo de la Cultura Maya). Al centro de está colección son 57 entrevistas que yo hice en 2000, con mujeres quienes fueron miembros de ligas revolucionarias femeninas/de mujeres en el estado de Yucatán entre los 20 y 50. Las entrevistas son únicas y proveen perspectivas históricas, antropológicas, y sociológicas a eventos y procesos socio-económicos, politicos, religiosos, y agricultores entre los siglos XIX y XX. Estarán útiles a investigadores en muchas disciplinas y constituyerán adiciónes valiosas a las colecciónes de FSU y otros lugares. El proyecto requiere: + editar 26 transcritos completados y completar los transcritos de las otras entrevistas + covertir las grabaciónes de casete a formatos digitales + hacer copias de las grabaciónes audios y los transcritos y viajar a Yucatán para llevarlas a cada comunidad y a la familia de cada mujer entrevistada y segurar permisos de los miembros de familia que sobrevivan para archivar las entrevistas + hacer las bases para solicitar becas adicionales para construir una plataforma para que otros tengan acceso a esté material Por favor contactame si le interesa participar!

Call for reviewers: especially with knowledge of Chinese, German, Polish and/or health informatics
by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi all, As I think I announced just under a month ago, we had an excellent response to the first GO::DH essay prize. There were 54 submissions in seven languages and covering a very wide range of topics. I have just finished assigning readers from our adjudication panel to the papers. Between them, the 12 member panel have experience with 6 of the seven languages and all topics represented in the pool. We could, however, due with some reinforcements in a couple of areas: We could use one or two more readers of the following languages: Chinese, German, and Polish We could use additional expertise in the following subject area: Health Informatics and/or Development Informatics. I would greatly appreciate nominations of potential readers with experience in one or more of these languages and/or this subject area (self-nominations are also welcome). You (or your nominee) do not need experience in more than one of these languages or subject areas. These are just four places where having an additional reader or two would be very helpful to the committee. Members of the adjudication committee can expect to have primary or secondary responsibility for scoring 6-8 abstracts (3~4 as primary reader, 3~4 as secondary reader). All members of the panel will be expected to read all abstracts on the shortlist. The scoring needs to be done by the second week in September. If you or somebody you know has these skills and would like to join the committee, please email me at daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca. The usual conflict of interest rules will apply: readers will not be assigned submissions from colleagues, former or current students, co-authors, research partners, etc. -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Thanks, all, for the helpful suggestions! One of our main challenges will be narrowing down to just 10 sites, but we hope our global benchmarking study of skills important to digital scholarship will be useful to the broader community. We'll try to provide updates on our blog, http://libraries.uc.edu/blogs/dsgrant/ All the best, Lisa On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 4:00 AM, <globaloutlookdh-l-request(a)uleth.ca> wrote: > Send globaloutlookdh-l mailing list submissions to > globaloutlookdh-l(a)uleth.ca > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://listserv.uleth.ca/mailman/listinfo/globaloutlookdh-l > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > globaloutlookdh-l-request(a)uleth.ca > > You can reach the person managing the list at > globaloutlookdh-l-owner(a)uleth.ca > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of globaloutlookdh-l digest..." > > > Digest Mode > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

suggest digital scholarship centers for global benchmarking study?
by Lisa Spiro 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Hi all, I’m currently working with three colleagues on a Mellon-funded research project to explore the skills and competencies required to support digital scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. In order to define benchmarks, we will be visiting ten “best in class” digital scholarship centers around the world, five in North America, five international. When we met Alex Gil at the Digital Humanities conference, he suggested that we post a message to the group introducing ourselves and our project. We’re interested in hearing from the GO::DH community about potential locations for us to visit during the next year. We are using a variety of criteria to identify potential sites to visit. These include impact, innovation and/or strong training and education programs, as well as a willingness to participate in a site visit. Please email me at lisamspiro(a)gmail.com if you would like to suggest a site for us to visit (including your own institution) or have any questions. For more information about the project, please see our blog at http://libraries.uc.edu/blogs/dsgrant/ Thanks, Lisa -- Lisa Spiro, Ph.D. Blog: http://digitalscholarship.wordpress.com/ Twitter: @lisaspiro Phone: 832-341-0380
