Dear all,
I'm pleased to share the CFP for our Fall IDRH <http://idrh.ku.edu> Digital
Humanities Forum which will be taking place on
*September 25 & 26, 2015.*
Please share far and wide

*Peripheries, barriers, hierarchies: rethinking access, inclusivity, and
infrastructure in global DH practice* <http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2015>
Digital Humanities engages in many alternative scholarly forms and
practices, and thus positions itself as a channel for exploring and
challenging how social and institutional constructs shape traditional and
digital academic discourses. Yet DH itself contains many non-neutral
practices and is far from barrier-free. Digital Humanities practices,
tools, infrastructures, and methodologies often embed a variety of
assumptions that shape what kind of scholarship gets made, studied, and
communicated; how it is represented to the world; and who can participate
in that making and communication. A truly accessible DH goes beyond
technical standards and provides people and communities of different
abilities, genders, sexual orientations, languages and cultures--and of
varying levels of access to technology and infrastructure--the capacity to
shape and pursue scholarship that addresses their own interests and needs.
In a global context, the expansion of DH practices around the world and
beyond the academy can reveal the ways in which dominant, hegemonic
practices within the field tend to reinforce the very inequalities DH
attempts to correct through its embrace of accessibility and knowledge
production. Thus, specific practices in Global DH can call attention to the
explicit and implicit contradictions in broader DH practices.
Our 2015 Digital Humanities Forum will take a critical approach to
exploring peripheries, barriers and hierarchies of digital humanities
practice in a global context, identifying those assumptions, and advocating
and showcasing alternative practices to advance the field. We will
critically engage these issues by exploring themes such as inclusivity,
accessibility, global perspectives, decolonization, and democratization as
they relate to digital humanities practice and infrastructure.
The Forum will take place on Saturday, September 26, following a full day
of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on Friday, September 25.
We seek projects, research results, or critical/theoretical approaches to
topics such as (but not limited to) the following:
- How do embedded assumptions of DH practice shape what gets made,
studied, and communicated;
- The limitations of digital structures and infrastructures such as
code/databases/ operating systems/interfaces/standards to represent or
highlight cultural/gender/linguistic specificities, and efforts to get past
these limitations;
- Inclusion and exclusion in digital collections: archival silences,
massive digital libraries, digital recovery projects;
- "Accessible DH" that includes different abilities, languages, genders
and sexual orientations, socio-economic conditions, and access to technical
knowledge and infrastructure;
- Case studies of projects focusing on accessibility and actively
focusing on openness;
- Case studies of indigenous, gendered, transnational, or “Global South”
DH;
- The concept and practice of minimal computing (sustainable computing
done under some set of significant constraints of hardware, software,
education, network capacity, power, or other factors);
- Projects exploring data in languages other than English or working
towards multilingual presentation;
- Critical making, hacking, tinkering, and non-textual modes of
knowledge production;
- "Soft infrastructures" such as ideas of ownership, copyright, and
intellectual property and their impact on global DH practice.
DH Forum best student paper award: Graduate students are encouraged to
submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. One student
presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality,
originality, clarity of the written abstract, along with its alignment with
the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The awardee will be
presented with a check for $400 and award certificate at the conference.
Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract
submission to be considered for the award. For a paper to be eligible, at
least fifty percent of the research reported in the paper must be performed
by one or more student authors, and the student must be the primary
presenter of the paper at the conference.
Please submit abstracts of 500 words maximum in PDF format to idrh(a)ku.edu
by June 1

Dear All,
I am Nobuhiko Kikuchi, a librarian of the National Diet Library (Japan).
My major in the Kyoto University was European History, especially
Modern Spanish History.
I have been interested in the Digital Humanities since then and I am
investigating the DH trend via twitter (@historyanddigi) and the other
SNS.
Today, I launched the Facebook group, Digital Humanities in Japan to
share news and information about DH and Japan Studies.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/758758500904522/
Of course, this group has no relation with our library.
If you are interested in them, please don't hesitate to join our group.
Thank you.
Nobuhiko Kikuchi
Hi all,
Heather asked me to pass this around to our group. They will love
applications from all over the world.

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.
