GO::DH Executive. Call for Nominations (closes March 11, 2016)
by Daniel O'Donnell 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi all, Nominations are open for election to the Executive of GO::DH. GO::DH elections are preceded by a nomination period of two weeks in which members are asked to consider nominating themselves or someone else for election to the GO::DH board (self-nominations are welcome and common; if you nominate somebody else, please ensure that they are willing to stand for election before you do). After nominations close, the election is held by electronic ballot open to all subscribers to the list. The executive has eight voting positions, half of which are up for election each year. This means that we have four positions to fill this year. All out going members of the executive are eligible for reelection, though not all have indicated that they intended to stand again. It is also the norm at GO::DH that we have competitive elections with more than one candidate. All who wish to put their names forward will be warmly welcomed as candidates. All voting positions on the board are for two year terms that can be renewed three times. To nominate yourself or somebody else as a candidate, please email the returning officer, Daniel O'Donnell, at elections(a)globaloutlookdh.org by *Midnight AoE (Anywhere on Earth) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>, Friday March 11, 2016*. In your email, please include the following information: 1. The name of the nominee 2. Preferred email address of the nominee (if you are nominating somebody other than yourself, please be sure to cc your nominee on the email so that we know they are willing to stand and that we know we have a working email address for them). 3. An optional brief candidate statement (<250 words). This can be anything you wish: a bio; an explanation of your aims for the position; political planks. This statement will be published to the GO::DH website. The election will be held the week after nominations close. Thank you very much! -dan

Fwd: Call for articles "Ethnography and Science and Technology Studies"
by Daniel O'Donnell 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Revista De Antropologia Y Arqueologia <antipoda(a)uniandes.edu.co> Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 at 08:39 Subject: Call for articles “Ethnography and Science and Technology Studies” To: *Antípoda *– *Revista de Antropología y Arqueología *invites the academic community to submit articles between February 1st and March 31st of 2016, for the *Meridianos* section of issue 26 (September-December 2016) dedicated to the topic of *“Ethnography and Science and Technology Studies.” * Today, one of the most fertile influences for doing and thinking anthropology comes from the heterogeneous field of Science and Technology Studies. A growing number of anthropologists find inspiration there for rethinking traditional problems of their discipline and for opening up new thematic areas for reflection. Simultaneously, ethnography has also become one of the preferred ways of producing situated knowledge from the perspective of Science and Technology Studies, which in turn has reshaped the way that ethnographic work in general is conceived, lived and experienced. However, it is not just a matter of broadening ethnographic topics, scenarios and objects. In addition to opening the doors of laboratories to ethnography and allowing it to experiment with all types of devices, the influence of STS has strengthened the ethnographic question regarding reality and its relations to all types of practices and knowledge. Ultimately, anthropology has availed itself of this inspiration in STS to explore topics that do not necessarily refer to the domain of technoscience, in a profoundly conceptual and at the same time empirical creative exercise. Ethnography, at the intersection between anthropology and STS, is therefore not just a way of gathering and presenting data, but also a way of producing theory that emerges from the field and cannot be separated from it. With issue 26, *Antípoda *continues its reflections on ethnography as a way of conceiving of anthropological knowledge (see, for example, *Antípoda **16 “**Etnografías en transición”*). We hope to receive original articles that present reflections of this type from the perspective of anthropology, Science and Technology Studies, or the interface between the two. We are interested in receiving proposals conceived of and developed with evident theoretical and methodological crosscurrents, and that reflect on the intersections and divergences between anthropology and STS in Latin America. *Texts will be received between February 1st and March 31st of 2016, through the platform for reception of articles on our webpage. Texts will be accepted in Spanish, English and Portuguese. In addition to this call for articles, Antípoda is permanently open to receiving articles on a free choice of topics in anthropology and archaeology, and we therefore request that you indicate the fact when your work is being submitted in response to this specific call for articles on “Ethnography and Science and Technology Studies.” All relevant information on the editorial process and the rules for authors is available on our webpage: * http://antipoda.uniandes.edu.co/page.php?c=Pol%C3%ADticas+%C3%A9ticas Santiago Martínez Medina Editor *Equipo editorial Antípoda* *Santiago Martínez Medina* Editor, Revista *ANTÍPODA* <http://antipoda.uniandes.edu.co/index.php> Email: s.martinez <editoraantipoda(a)uniandes.edu.co>65(a)uniandes.edu.co Departamento de Antropología <http://antropologia.uniandes.edu.co/> Facultad de Ciencias Sociales Universidad de los Andes Edificio Gb Cr 1 18A 12 Bogotá, Colombia Tel: +571 3394999, Ext. 3483

by Elena González-Blanco 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

**apologies for cross posting**---To all digital humanists or people working on digital humanities projects, Please, save the date and join us for the annual Day of Digital Humanities that will take place on April 8th, 2016. 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 (LINHD) in Madrid. For this reason, want to innovate and make the day more collaborative. We will boost multilingual participation and groupal cooperative activities. We are working on the website now, www.dayofdh2016.uned.es which will be opened for registration soon. If you have any suggestions or ideas in the meantime, please, let us know! Yours, The LINHD team Twitter: @dayofdh and #dayofDH Elena González-Blanco García Dpto. de Literatura Española y Teoría de la Literatura, Despacho 722Facultad de Filología, UNED Paseo Senda del Rey 7 28040 MADRID tel. 91 3986873

Registration Open - Global Digital Humanities Symposium, April 8-9, 2016 @ Michigan State University
by Kristen Mapes 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Registration is now open! *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* *April 8-9, 2016* Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan http://msuglobaldh.org/ Free and open to the public. Register at http://msuglobaldh.org/registration/ 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

by Unmil Karadkar 06 Feb '16

May be of interest to some on this list. ASIST focuses on slightly broader issues of information science and management, I think there is definitely some overlap, if we consider DH as a domain for information management/studies/mining/interfaces, etc. -unmil. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Asis-l] Call for nominations for the Infoshare membership award Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 23:22:58 +0530 From: Anindita Paul <aninditapaul(a)gmail.com> To: asis-l(a)asis.org *** Please excuse cross posting *** Dear Colleagues, The ASIS&T International Information Issues Special Interest Group (SIG-III) is pleased to announce that for 2016 we will be able to sponsor another group of deserving information professionals from developing countries for complimentary ASIS&T memberships (the financial burden of which would otherwise be prohibitive). We are soliciting nominations of candidates for the InfoShare Membership Award. The award will be given to LIS professionals. Please include a one-page curriculum vitae and a one-page description of why this person is deserving of membership, including their willingness to promote ASIS&T within their networks and build relationships between ASIS&T and the national/regional organizations. Awardees will be decided by a vote of the SIG-III officers. All curricula vitae will be kept private, accessible only to SIG-III officers. Each membership award will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year if the new member proves to be a strong advocate for ASIS&T in their home country during the course of the year. Awardees will be asked to submit a report on their activities by next year's Annual Meeting, which may include, but are not limited to: a. sharing ASIS&T publications that they receive (the Bulletin of ASIS&T and JASIS&T) with other colleagues b. promoting the SIG-III paper contest among their colleagues c. serving as a contact/coordinator for ASIS&T members traveling to their area who may be able to speak about ASIS&T and information science d. having the ability to strengthen the relationships between ASIS&T and the national/regional organizations, and e. sponsoring lectures on information science topics in their area on behalf of ASIS&T Nominators can mentor the award recipients for the above activities.
