EADH calls for project submissions
by Antonio Rojas Castro 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Dear all, I hope the following call will be of interest to some of you. The EADH brings together, and represents, the Digital Humanities in Europe. It includes the entire spectrum of disciplines that research, develop, and apply digital methods and technologies to the study of art, history, language, literature, music, archeology, etc. But what is the current situation of the field in Europe? And is it possible to document and promote access, use and collaboration between groups and universities? With the goal of gathering representative works, we have created a slider on our website that will showcase initiatives for a period of time: http://eadh.org/ For this reason we are looking for projects undertaken during the last three years that contribute meaningfully to Digital Humanities in Europe. If you want to add your Digital Humanities project to our website, please fill in our web submission form with a project description and your contact details: http://eadh.org/projects/submit-your-project At the moment submissions are accepted in English. All submissions will be reviewed by the EADH executive committee. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details at rojas.castro.antonio(a)gmail.com All the best, -- Antonio Rojas Castro Communication Coordinator

CFP: DHCommons Issue 2
by Hannah L Jacobs 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Dear all, The editors at DHCommons are pleased to announce a *Call for Projects for the Issue 2 of the ***DHCommons* Journal:* "The editorial team of centerNet’s DHCommons journal is delighted to request submissions for its second and subsequent issues. We seek mid-stage digital projects who wish peer review and feedback that will contribute to the project’s development. "We especially hope to center our second issue on digital diversity. We conceive of “diversity” to include diversity in project language, staff, academic subject, or goals, among other possibilities. DHCommons invites project statements in a wide variety of languages. We have an international Advisory Board and will work with authors towards finding reviewers in the language of submission whenever possible." http://dhcommons.org/blog/2016/01/15/dhcommons-survey-and-cfp *In addition to the general call, the editors seek submissions to the "How Did They Make That?" Section: * DHCommons Journal seeks procedural descriptions of how to launch and/or maintain an exemplary aspect of a stable digital project for potential publication in its second issue. We encourage you to emphasize in your submission a component of the project that came out particularly well and/or represented a significant challenge (e.g. data visualization, accessibility compliance, data cleaning and preparation). Readers should be able to come away with a sense of how they could begin to tackle a similar challenge. In spirit, these submissions should be inspired by Miriam Posner’s “How did they make that?” ( http://miriamposner.com/blog/how-did-they-make-that/). http://dhcommons.org/blog/2016/01/19/%E2%80%9Chow-did-they-make-%E2%80%9D-s… <http://dhcommons.org/blog/2016/01/19/%E2%80%9Chow-did-they-make-%E2%80%9D-s…> Submission deadline for all sections is 1 April 2016. Also, following the launch of its first issue (http://dhcommons .org/journal/issue-1), ****DHCommons*** is seeking feedback* from the digital humanities community. Please see this survey http://goo.gl/forms/9XMqxTIaEI for input. All best wishes, Hannah -- Multimedia Analyst, Wired!

Fwd: T-AP Digging into Data Challenge and Global Outlook DH
by Alex Gil 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Dear all, good news from the NEH. They're new Digging into Data Challenge has expanded to now include Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Queridos todos, uma boa notícia do NEH. Eles são novo Desafio Cavando de Dados agora incluem Argentina, Brasil e México. Deixe-me saber se você vai gostar de saber mais, ou se você precisar de ajuda para a aplicação. Queridos, buenas noticias. La NEH ofrece un nuevo premio para proyectos en minado de datos para las humanidades. Déjenme saber si necesitan ayuda con la aplicación. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bobley, Brett <bbobley(a)neh.gov> Date: Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 3:41 PM Subject: T-AP Digging into Data Challenge and Global Outlook DH To: Alex Gil <colibri.alex(a)gmail.com> Dear Alex, I write to engage you and your Global Outlook DH colleagues on the new T-AP Digging into Data Challenge <http://diggingintodata.org/awards/2016/news/announcing-t-ap-digging-data-ch…> . I’m pleased to say that we have 16 funders from 11 nations all participating in DiD. This includes countries from South America, North America, and Europe. Many of these countries are ones I’ve never worked with before and I’m keen to learn what kinds of terrific research their scholars are doing! I’m also pleased that the countries represent a wide variety of languages and cultures. Currently, some of these countries already fund a fair amount of digital humanities and digital social science research, while for others, this is still a very new kind of work. So I think that global outreach will be really important. I very much want to get researchers to form teams from across the spectrum of countries. I’d love to see some unique partnerships we haven’t seen before, involving people and languages we don’t always see in DH or DSS projects. So anything you can do to help get the word out or facilitate teambuilding would be much appreciated! *Here’s a quick list of the countries/funders:* Argentina: MINCyT Brazil: FAPESP Canada: SSHRC, NSERC, FRQ. Finland: AKA France: ANR Germany: DFG Mexico: CONACYT Netherlands: NWO Portugal: FCT (to be confirmed) UK: AHRC, ESRC US: NEH, NSF, IMLS *Here’s a quick list of the national languages:* Spanish Portuguese English French Finnish German Dutch *Notes on Applying* People apply in “teams.” A "team" is a group of principal investigators from at least three of the participating countries. Because this is a "trans-Atlantic" grant program, each team must have PIs on both sides of the Atlantic. *Notes on Research Topics* Open to any research questions in the humanities and/or social sciences. However, the idea is that you have to be using computational methods/approaches at the large scale for your research. (And large scale doesn’t mean big data in the scientific sense; rather it means large for the discipline that you are working in.) For further details, please see the website <http://diggingintodata.org/awards/2016/news/announcing-t-ap-digging-data-ch…> ! Thanks, Brett

Save the Date - Global Digital Humanities Symposium, April 8-9, 2016 @ Michigan State University
by Kristen Mapes 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Save the Date! *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* *April 8-9, 2016* Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan http://msuglobaldh.org/ Free and open to the public. Registration will open in February and is required. Featured speakers include: - Dorothy Kim - Alex Gil - Radhika Gajjala - Hoyt Long Digital humanities has developed in a range of disciplines and locations across the globe. Initially emergent from initiatives in textual encoding, database building, or critiques of design and media cultures, the field is increasingly drawn together. Present scholarship works at the intersections of what had been disparate approaches. Much digital humanities scholarship is driven by an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of histories, as well as present geographical and cultural positions. Projects that seek to bring grant resources from the West are often met with well-developed and challenging critiques emergent around the globe from communities deeply engaged in their own cultural preservation, as well as in building relationships with other similarly engaged scholars. This symposium, which will include an extended workshop and a mixture of presentation types, engages squarely with issues of power, access, and equity as they affect scholarship in the digital humanities. Invited speakers and local presenters at this two-day symposium will address how the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities can and should speak to the global cultural record and the contemporary situation of our planet. Of particular interest is work relevant to or stemming from challenges in the Global South. The symposium seeks to strengthen networks of exchange among DH scholars nationally and internationally. Themes and topics of this symposium will include: - the practice of digital humanities across linguistic, economic, and technological divides - digital humanities in the light of current geopolitics - the environmental impacts of digital humanities research - the inflection of local accents in the practices and ethics of digital humanities Find out more about the symposium at http://msuglobaldh.org/about/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Specialist, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu

Greetings -- Could you please share the below? Thank you! Hannah -- Hannah L. Jacobs Multimedia Analyst, Wired! Lab, Duke University @dukewired dukewired.org The Wired! Lab at Duke University invites scholars, students, and members of the public to the following symposium: ****Apps, Maps & Models: Digital Pedagogy and Research in Art History, Archaeology & Visual Studies**** February 22, 2016 Nasher Museum of Art, Duke University Durham, NC, USA http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/ Free & open to the public. Registration required: http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/events/ This one-day symposium will examine how digital tools prompt new approaches to teaching and research in art and architectural history, as well as in archaeology and visual studies. Databases, mapping, modeling, animations, and websites are also transforming the ways in which scholars and museums can communicate information to the public. Above all, digital tools stimulate entirely new types of research questions on the production and dissemination of works of art and material culture, the construction of buildings and cities, and issues of process and change over time. *Sponsored by the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies and the Wired! Lab.With generous support from the Duke University Office of the Vice Provost for Research, Office of the Dean of Humanities, Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts, and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.*

Red CLACSO
by Domenico Fiormonte 09 Jan '16

09 Jan '16

Querid@s tod@s, en muchas ocasiones estuvimos discutiendo en esta lista, y también privadamente o en conferencias y seminarios, la necesidad de iniciar o potenciar la colaboración Sur-Sur en el campo de las HD. Me imagino que muchos ya conocerán la red CLACSO (http://www.clacso.org.ar), que origina del Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales. Me parece un excelente modelo para empezar e pensar en algo parecido para las HD. La red tiene también un programa de cooperación global Sur-Sur ( http://www.clacso.org.ar/sur-sur/presentacion.php?s=7&idioma=), y me imagino que estarían muy interesados en colaborar en iniciativas comunes relacionadas con la cultura digital y las HD. Quizás sería interesante empezar a explorar la posibilidad de un encuentro ciencias sociales-humanidades en el congreso DH de México de 2018? Además sabemos que el tema de las tecnologias digitales es el terreno más adecuado para reanudar el diálogo interdisciplinar. Esta conferencia en el junio pasado fue un ejemplo muy claro de los solapamientos entres las dos areas: http://sciforum.net/conference/isis-summit-vienna-2015/stream-icts Mis cincos céntimos. Auguri di buon anno a tutt* Domenico
