CFP: DH Forum 2015, University of Kansas
by Élika Ortega 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Apologies for cross posting. 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 *!* All best, Élika *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 Élika Ortega, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Researcher Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities Watson Library 450, University of Kansas elikaortega.net | @elikaortega

FYI: Facebook Group "Digital Humanities in Japan" launched
by Nobuhiko Kikuchi 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

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

Fwd: Call for participants: Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities
by Alex Gil 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

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.
