Hi all, Heather asked me to pass this around to our group. They will love applications from all over the world. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: heather froehlich <hfroehlich.mailinglist(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 11:08 AM Subject: Call for participants: Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities To: globaloutlookdh-l(a)uleth.ca *Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanitieshttp://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/humanities.php <http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/humanities.php>Lancaster University, UK14th to 17th July 2015 * Call for Participation We are pleased to announce the first Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities. This free-to-attend summer school is taught by an interdisciplinary group of Lancaster University scholars from departments including History, English and Creative Writing, Linguistics and English Language, and Computing and Communications. Across the Arts and Humanities, a number of parallel trends are developing new methods, especially digital methods, for reading text and texts. We see this in the form of the Digital Humanities enterprise, but also in renewed interest in different forms of Distant Reading. Thus there exists a growing need for advanced digital-methods training for Arts and Humanities researchers. Meanwhile, a set of effective tools and techniques have been developed within the discipline of Corpus Linguistics which can answer this methodological need, allowing jointly qualitative-quantitative analyses which go beyond statistical summary to a critical engagement with text and context. The Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities has been inaugurated to help explore and extend the benefits of these approaches for researchers, particularly PhD students and other junior researchers, in arts and humanities fields. Programme The programme consists of a series of intensive two-hour sessions, some involving practical work, others more discussion-oriented. Topics include: : Introduction to corpus linguistics; Corpus tools and techniques; Collecting corpus data; Foundational techniques - linking quantitative results to qualitative analysis; Foundational techniques – keywords; Foundational techniques – collocation; Studying social history with corpora – prostitution in the 17th century; Using corpora in early modern Literary Studies; Spelling variation – problems, analysis and solutions; Studying conceptual history using EEBO-TCP; Exploring Shakespeare's language with corpus techniques. Speakers include, Alison Findlay, Stephen Pumfrey, Jonathan Culpeper, Ian Gregory, and Tony McEnery. This is one of five co-located Lancaster Summer Schools in Interdisciplinary Digital Methods; see the website for further information: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool Who can attend? This event is aimed at junior humanities researchers - especially PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Anyone with an interest in the analysis of large-scale textual resources – will find this summer school of interest. How to apply The Summer School is free to attend, but registration in advance is compulsory, as places are limited. The deadline for registrations is Sunday 7th June 2015. The application form is available on the event website: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/register.php#humanities as is further information on the programme.

Debates in the Humanities
by Alex Gil 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hi friends, I encourage you to submit to this CFP, which could benefit enormously from a global perspective. __ CFP: MAKING HUMANITIES MATTER Jentery Sayers, Editor Deadline for Abstracts: April 3, 2015 Part of the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series A book series from the University of Minnesota Press Matthew K. Gold, Series Editor Lauren Klein, Associate Editor What does it mean to describe humanities scholarship as built, assembled, or constructed? To call a humanities argument a persuasive or provocative object? To understand humanities disciplines as creative disciplines? To, in short, make things in the humanities? Engaging these questions and more, this volume in the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series examines the arts and humanities in an age of programmable worlds and digital/analog convergence. As both a working title and a framework, we understand "making humanities matter" to invite submissions that, through an attention to both theory and practice: * Articulate what exactly it means to make things in the humanities; * Describe how humanities research in computing is aligned with the arts and creative practice (e.g., sculpture, performance, visual arts, experimental media, and interaction design), and to what effects on the humanities; * Argue for what "humanities matter" should be or do, and why; * Attend to how humanities scholarship and its materiality are changing alongside or through the Internet of Things, wearables, bots, physical computing, desktop fabrication, rapid prototyping, and speculative design; * Unpack how humanities research is expressed through materials off the page or screen, in the form of tangible objects, tactile media, or human-computer relations; or * Attest to the intersections between making things and the perceived relevance of humanities scholarship, including the role of making in public scholarship, community-based research, activism, and memory institutions. Related questions include but are not limited to: * How is making a form of experimental research or applied media theory? * How can tactile media be scholarship? How can argumentation be expressed through built forms? * How is history being made through the (re)construction of artifacts, exhibits, experiments, and interactives? * How is making associated with reuse, repurposing, old media, and critiques of obsolescence or waste in the humanities? * How are laboratories, studios, and makerspaces playing a role in humanities research? In these spaces, how are people translating technologies and technical practices into humanities research? * What does making mean for writing, rhetoric, public communication, peer review, publishing, and the trajectories of (scholarly) argumentation? * How are teachers integrating making into humanities pedagogy, and how is "making" understood in the scholarship of teaching and learning? * How is making functioning as a brand or fad, and to what effects on practice and practitioners? More generally, what are some critiques of making as a practice, movement, or concept in and beyond the academy? * How are maker, do-it-yourself, or do-it-ourselves movements organized, by whom, for whom, in what relation to industry, and under what assumptions? What are the politics of making? Practitioners from across the disciplines (regardless of rank, position, or whether they are affiliated with an academic institution) are invited to submit 300-word abstracts by 3 April 2015 to Jentery Sayers at jentery(a)uvic.ca. Collaboratively authored submissions are especially welcome. The Debates in the Digital Humanities editorial team will review all abstracts, and authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full manuscripts by 15 June 2015, with peer-to-peer review occurring during July 2015. The volume will be published, in print and online, in 2016. For the volume, contributions may ultimately assume the form of critical essays, case studies, or project assessments (among other options). The word count of the submissions may vary from 2000 to 8000 words, depending on the submission. The editorial team will consult with authors of selected abstracts about the word count of their contributions. If you have any questions about Making Humanities Matter or this CFP, then please email Jentery Sayers atjentery(a)uvic.ca. Sayers is Assistant Professor of English and Cultural, Social, and Political Thought, as well as Director of the Maker Lab in the Humanities, at the University of Victoria. Debates in the Digital Humanities is a hybrid print/digital publication stream that explores new debates as they emerge. The first volume was published in 2012 and edited by Matthew K. Gold.

Thanks for that link, Ernesto. Until this past January, Canada's policy on this was the opposite (in some ways): the goverment had been using the Universities as an outsourcer for immigration determination. It wasn't quite as simple as this implies and I know people who ran into real trouble with it. But the actually underlying assumption, I was told my our MP, for all the policy hurdles, was that people the universities accepted would make good immigrants. It has changed now, in that you now need to show particularly economic relevance, I believe, upon graduation.

about FILCuba2015 and socialmedia
by Luis Rondon Paz 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hey there, i receibed a few days ago one email related to a event or course, my question is the following (i hope Dan, Alex and my colege Yasmín can help me on this). I´ve been working in the promotion of the International Book event "FILCuba" using SocialMEdia as the main platafform in order to gain more digital readers, and of course let the world know what is going on in the island about digital books and non digital. i have the results of 3 years of work with Yasmín as my partner on this. in fact we show the results in the last DHMexico but we was not able to be there because $ and some paperwork. Yasmín and i have in our hand more data (3 years) and also a diagnost about the organization who roles the event (preliminar diagnost) and also the results on Twitter and 2 other socialMedia, i used a method who allow me to trace one hashtag for a limited period of time in order to obtain the real impact in digital world (in spanish i think means "seguir impacto a través de una etiqueta posicionada en las redes sociales; medir el impacto de esta en el mundo digital) Any ideas about what ca we do with that, having in mind, until now, yasmín and i are pretty new and maybe only people who are doing this kine of work in Cuba. Greetings. Luis. -- Luis Rondón Paz SocialMedia Geek Queer & DDHH Activist Cel:+53 53339805 fb.com/lrpbyzard @lrpbyzard

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH) is a project looking at a day in the work life of people involved in digital humanities computing. Every year it draws people from across the world together to document, with text and image, the events and activities of their day. The goal of the project is to weave together the journals of participants into a resource that seeks to answer, “Just what do digital humanists really do?" This year, the event will be hosted on behalf of centerNet at the Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales de la UNED (LINHD) in Madrid. For this reason, we want to innovate and make the day more collaborative. We will boost multilingual participation and group cooperative activities.
