Digital Humanists at Work
by B. Bordalejo 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Dear all, Please excuse cross posting. For an article exploring pluralism and diversity within Digital Humanities, we are gathering data about digital humanists, their environment, and their work. We have designed a very brief survey (it should take less than five minutes to complete) and would like your help with it. If you can spare a few minutes to fill up the answers, this will contribute to our understanding of the field and of the people who work within it. The survey can be found here:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DHatWork <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DHatWork> Thank you for your support, Barbara Bordalejo Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities KU Leuven

Pedagogía y Humanidades Digitales
by Spence, Paul 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Estimados colegas Esto puede ser de vuestro interés ... Saludos Paul --------------- Estimadas/os compañeras/os Aprovechando mi estancia en el Departamento de Humanidades Digitales de King's College London, Paul Spence y yo hemos empezado a trabajar sobre la relación entre la pedagogía digital y las humanidades digitales, dos disciplinas emergentes con mucho que contar y hacer. Ya que el tema digital para la pedagogía y las humanidades es denso, hemos decidido echar mano de toda la comunidad e invitarles a editar colaborativamente una bibliografía en un grupo público llamado "Pedagogía y Humanidades Digitales": https://www.zotero.org/groups/pedagoga_y_humanidades_digitales_phd El grupo está creado en Zotero y hay, al 15 de diciembre, 147 referencias a trabajos en torno a la hibridación digital entre pedagogía y humanidades. Como esta tarea no es patrimonio solo de pedagogos y humanistas, esperemos que participen con sus aportes y sea de provecho de todos. Si alguien tiene alguna pregunta no dudéis en escribir a cristobal.suarez(a)uv.es<mailto:cristobal.suarez@uv.es> ¡Nos vemos en el grupo! Cristóbal Suárez y Paul Spence ------- Dear colleagues Cristóbal Suárez Guerrero recently completed a three-month research visit to King's College London to explore the relationship between digital pedagogy and digital humanities with me. Cristóbal has started a Zotero group to explore the theme further - there is still quite a lot to add to the list, and as you'll see the focus is slightly different from previous work in this area (plus we're treating Spanish as the primary language here, since that's the language we're working in, even though many of the resources are in other languages). The group is at https://www.zotero.org/groups/pedagoga_y_humanidades_digitales_phd Any contributions/comments welcome. We hope to announce further initiatives in this area soon.

GO::DH response to ADHO Change in Chair and Call for Recommendations on inter-cultural communication
by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hi all, Earlier this week, ADHO announced a change in leadership as John Nerbonne stepped down as ADHO chair and Karina van Dalen-Oskam was elected as interim chair (the announcement is here: http://adho.org/announcements/2015/adho-announces-new-steering-committee-ch…). As part of the announcement, Karina called for a discussion on inter-cultural communication: "The first thing I have asked the Steering Committee to do, is to establish a protocol or a set of rules/guidelines for dealing with these fundamental cultural issues. We will not be the only organization that runs into this kind of problems. I have asked all members of the Steering Committee to do some research, and I would welcome input from others as well. Can you find guidelines that we could adopt/adapt for ADHO? Do colleagues from other international organizations have suggestions based on their own experience? Are there policy makers who can help? " This is something GO::DH can contribute to: it is closely related to our core interest AND we have actually discussed parts of this in our early days (see for example, the discussion involving some of these emails: http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-April/000319.html http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-January/000163.ht… http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-January/000188.ht… At our meeting today, the executive decided to lead development of a GO::DH response to Karina's call. Because of the time limitations, we will not be able to have a full membership development and approval process (it is due Nov. 30th), though we may want to develop the interim statement further using that process after it is submitted to ADHO. For this reason it will be submitted formally as a document of the executive (and any additional authors) and as specifically reflecting their views rather than those of the SIG as a whole. But we would very much to develop this as openly and as broadly as possible within those constraints. To do this, we will be developing and writing the document openly in Google Docs between now and Sunday. We have divided our response into three sections: - Recognising and Accommodating Barriers to Participation (Lead editor: Gimena del Rio) - Best practice in governance and mentorship (Lead editors: Alex Gil and Élika Ortega - Best practice in inter-cultural language use and communication (Lead editors: Daniel O'Donnell and Øyvind Eide). Each of the editors will be sharing a link to a Google doc specifically for their section with the list in the next couple of hours. In the document, they will collect notes and points and examples (and ask you to help with your ideas). On Sunday morning, we will then lock the documents down and edit them into a narrative (it is because of time pressure that we will institute this lock down; this lock-down and the lack of time for followup consultation is also why, in the end, it will be submitted as a document of the executive rather than the SIG as a whole). In keeping with the GO::DH ethos, we encourage people to contribute in whatever language you feel most comfortable in and let the editors figure out how to combine the bits and pieces. Our final document will be submitted in three forms: an original language narrative written in the languages the editors feel most comfortable in (probably English and Spanish for the most part), an English-language, lingua franca translation for wide dissemination, and, as Karina has indicated that her first choice would be for Dutch, a Dutch-language submission copy. Let me emphasis the extent to which we welcome your ideas on these topics and invite you to contribute to the formulation of our response. It may also make sense to use the list as a way of conversationally developing ideas under these topics as well, so please feel free to contribute ideas that way, as well, again in whatever language you feel most appropriate. -dan

A response from members of the GO::DH community to the ADHO call for comment on intercultural communication
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Hi all, We have an almost final version of our document now available online: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11b87VmblizmYeFoOUbHDOeR8A2EQ1F_Kg9jNQwU…. Karina has asked that we submit it in the course of the day Wednesday CET. The section editors still need to take a final view to make sure that their work is showing up the way they want and, of course, we welcome any comment--though at this point we may need to wait for subsequent iterations to incorporate significant points. I'd like to thank all who participated in what was a really enjoyable collaborative process. Mistakes and misrepresentations are the responsibility of the editors...but mostly inadvertent. We realise (I think) that it is a little platitudinous. -dan
