US Executive Orders
by Ernesto Priego 30 Jan '17

30 Jan '17

Dear all, With sincere apologies if this has already been discussed within this list and I have missed it. Many of us around the world are deeply concerned about the Executive Orders concerning immigration into the US and 'Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States' recently signed by the new US administration. The documents can be found at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/presidential-executi… https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/25/executive-order-bord… Already educational institutions (such as the University of Michigan) and international academics around the world have expressed publicly their rejection of these orders. Many colleagues are considering boycotting academic conferences in the US if the so-called 'Muslim ban' is still in place. Members of professional associations are contacting their scholarly bodies to request a recognition of their members' opposition to these orders. I am aware that the next DH conferences won't take place in the US. Regardless of that fact, I would urge colleagues much more directly embedded in the operational matters of the ADHO/ACH and this particular SIG to take a public stand. The NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/28/opinion/donald-trumps-muslim-ban-is-cowa… and Observer editorials https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/29/observer-view-britain… are clear about the unacceptable nature of the actions recently taken by the US administration. They have consequences beyond the United States. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my solidarity with colleagues within and outside the US.

Mapping DH in India
by Taylor,Laurie Nancy Francesca 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Sharing to make sure folks have seen this! Please forgive duplication. - Laurie ==================================== Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 11:57:04 +0530 From: sneha <sneha(a)cis-india.org<mailto:sneha@cis-india.org>> Subject: Mapping Digital Humanities in India Dear All, It gives us great pleasure to publish the second title of the Centre for Internet and Society [CIS] Papers series, a report on 'Mapping Digital Humanities in India'. The study undertook a detailed mapping of digital practices in arts and humanities scholarship, both emerging and established, in India. Beginning with an understanding of Digital Humanities as a 'found term' in the Indian context, the study explores discussions and debates about changes in humanities practice, scholarship and pedagogy that have come about with the digital turn. Further it inquires about the spaces and roles of digital technologies in the humanities, and by extension in the arts, media, and creative practice today; transformations in the objects and methods of study and practice in these spaces; and the shifts in the imagination of the 'digital' itself, and its linkages with humanities practices. This report comes out of an extended research project supported by the Kusuma Trust. Please see: http://cis-india.org/papers/mapping-digital-humanities-in-india CIS Papers The CIS Papers series publishes open access monographs and discussion pieces that critically contribute to the debates on digital technologies and society. It includes publication of new findings and observations, of work-in-progress, and of critical review of existing materials. These may be authored by researchers at or affiliated to CIS, by external researchers and practitioners, or by a group of discussants. CIS offers editorial support to the selected monographs and discussion pieces. The views expressed, however, are of the authors' alone. Best wishes, -- P.P Sneha The Centre for Internet and Society Bangalore http://cis-india.org/

Webinar Series: Caribbean Scholarship in the Digital Age, Jan. 18, 11am, Dr. Schuyler Esprit, Dominica State College, Create Caribbean Inc.
by Taylor,Laurie Nancy Francesca 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Good morning, Please see the announcement attached and below for the first, and other upcoming, webinars on Caribbean Scholarship in the Digital Age. We hope folks can attend and participate! Best wishes, Laurie ======================================= [cid:image001.jpg@01D26A62.FA5FFE60] Caribbean Scholarship in the Digital Age is a webinar series showcasing digital and/as public research and teaching in Caribbean Studies. The series provides a collaborative space for professionals to share on projects and experiences to foster communication and support our shared constellations of communities of practice. Please join us for an upcoming event featuring innovative digital work in Dominica on January 18, 2017, at 11am (Miami Time). Presenter: Dr. Schuyler Esprit, Dominica State College, Create Caribbean Inc. Click here to participate in the online event: http://ufsmathers.adobeconnect.com/Caribbean About the Presentation: In the small island developing state of the Commonwealth of Dominica, the push towards Information and Communications Technology (ICT) development has risen rapidly on the national agenda. This is true for several sectors, including entrepreneurship and education. However, national efforts to understand the impact of expanding technologies, particularly through the use of digital humanities or humanities computing, has been much slower despite collective enthusiasm among library and museum experts, academics and other intellectuals workers about developing the technological scope and reach of their work. For the most part, efforts and resources to encourage ICT use have minimized these very knowledge and culture nerve centers that inform the content of entrepreneurship through technology. Create Caribbean Inc. is a research institute located in Dominica, designed on the principles and values of digital scholarship and practicing digital humanities methodologies, and is one of the first of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean to formalize the confluence of archival studies, heritage preservation, academic research, higher education curriculum development and the wave of technological advancement. Founded in 2014, the Institute has entered into a partnership with the Dominica State College to institutionalize and create national conversation and impact on innovative knowledge acquisition and sharing amidst economic and geographic constraints that create large social gaps in access to libraries, research, cultural activities and technological experimentation. This presentation will explore the best practices of Create Caribbean Inc., the Research Institute at Dominica State College to consider its goals and objectives, growth process, challenges and plans for enhancement and expansion beyond Dominica and into the wider Caribbean. The presentation will outline the role of each of the institute's core areas - heritage preservation, academic research, higher education curriculum development, college teaching and community outreach - through the lens of the digital humanities and its impact on the Caribbean space. I will also include a discussion of the benefits of adopting digital humanities vocabulary, theory and praxis within the region, adapting those elements to considerations of economic, social and political peculiarities of the Caribbean. About the Speaker: Dr. Schuyler Esprit is a scholar of Caribbean literature and cultural studies, and postcolonial theory. Dr. Esprit holds a PhD in English literature from University of Maryland - College Park. She is the Founding Director of Create Caribbean Inc. (http://createcaribbean.org/create/), Research Institute at Dominica State College. The Research Institute supports students and scholars to use digital technologies for research, teaching and learning in areas of Caribbean development, especially its culture, history and heritage. She currently works as Dean of Academic Affairs at Dominica State College. Dr. Esprit has also taught and held professional positions at a number of universities in the United States. She is now completing her book entitled West Indian Readers: A Social History and its digital companion, both of which are historical explorations of reading culture in the Caribbean. She has also written the introduction to the 2016 Papillote Press edition of The Orchid House, the 1953 novel by Dominican writer Phyllis Shand Allfrey.
