Dear all,
I'm happy to announce that a majority of the executive voted to *hold the
vote here on the list, in the membership*. The referendum for the future of
GO::DH will begin on December 1, as planned, and you will decide. I'm also
happy to announce that Amy Earhart will be our election official. She will
write to you approaching election day with instructions. We will probably
keep the ballot open for a week to give as many of you time to get to the
vote.
As of now we have 1 model on the ballot
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BBq-mXnzJgw_5vVe4zlCDRXev9c5YAq9O6eDdt3…>.
If no other model comes forth between now and then, we will simply say that
model 2 is the status quo, nothing changes. The discussion is still open,
and I encourage voices we haven't heard from to discuss, even if you don't
feel like you know enough to provide a good opinion.
Needless to say, whatever model wins, I will work with the executive to
ensure an orderly transition.
Best,
a.
What does it mean to translate an iconic American text - Henry David Thoreau's Walden - into a video game? Tracy Fullerton<http://www.tracyfullerton.com/main/bio/>, Director of the University of Southern California Game Innovation Lab, and her team set out to do that with Walden: A Game<https://gameinnovationlab.itch.io/walden>, which recently won Game of the Year and Most Significant Impact at the Games for Change Festival. In honor of the bicentennial of the birth of Thoreau (1817-1862), one of America's greatest naturalists and essayists, Fullerton is coming to Loyola University Chicago for a panel discussion about the game on Monday, November 13th, at 3 pm in the Klarchek Information Commons at Loyola Univeristy Chicago, 4th Floor.
Walden, A Game is a six-hour, exploratory narrative that begins in the summer of 1845 when Thoreau moved to the Pond and built his cabin there. You follow in his footsteps, surviving in the woods by finding food and fuel and maintaining your shelter and clothing. At the same time as you strive to survive off the land, you are encouraged to explore the beauty of the woods and the pond, which hold a promise of a sublime life beyond your basic needs. And, you can interact with characters from Thoreau's life including mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, sister Sophia Thoreau, editor Horace Greeley, activist A. Bronson Alcott, naturalist Louis Agassiz among others.
Following Fullerton's talk, a panel of Loyola faculty and students from different disciplines across Loyola University Chicago will reflect on their experience playing the game. Panelists include: Lucas Coyne<https://w.taskstream.com/ts/coyne21/LucasCoyne> (History), Meghan Dougherty<https://luc.edu/soc/meghandougherty.shtml> (Digital Communication), Elizabeth Hopwood<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/about/people/> (English and Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities), Chris Peterson<https://www.luc.edu/sustainability/about/staff/petersonchristopherg.shtml> (Institute for Environmental Sustainability), and George Thiruvathukal<https://luc.edu/cs/people/ftfaculty/gkt.shtml> (Computer Science).
The event is sponsored by the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities <https://luc.edu/ctsdh/> , the English Department, and the University Libraries of Loyola University Chicago.
Thank you Roopika! Very useful and interesting. It gives us a general idea
of the ratio between number of email accounts participating in this
conversation/thread in particular, and the number of subscribed accounts.
Carry on...
Cheers all.

Ernesto and all,
GO::DH membership is defined by subscription to this email list. All
members of the list have access to the email addresses of all who have
subscribed. You can access it by visiting the following site and logging
in: http://listserv.uleth.ca/mailman/listinfo/globaloutlookdh-l
During our last election, we had 545 subscribers, but 25 of those email
bounced. It's entirely possible there are individual subscribers who may be
subscribed under more than one emails.
Though this information is incomplete, I hope it is of some use.

Hi all,
Is it possible to know the membership of this list, or if privacy/consent
is an issue at least some anonymised data, re: number of subscribed
members, and/or proportion of members who do not currently serve in
ADHO/ACH/EDAH/GO::DH committees/boards?
Thanks!

If the executive approves the passing of the poll, we will stick to our
schedule, and vote on December 15. This gives us time to deliberate and
secure a proper referendum, with an electoral officer assuring the
standards of the proceedings.

Dear all,
As promised, here is the document with the argument for why we should leave
ADHO
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BBq-mXnzJgw_5vVe4zlCDRXev9c5YAq9O6eDdt3…>.
The first round was written by Dr. Roopika Risam and me, but those in
support can add their own rationales and arguments, or comment on ours.
Instructions are in the Google Doc.
A second argument will be prepared by those who support the idea of
becoming a Constituent Organization of ADHO. I think Dan O'Donnell
(Canada), Barbara Bordalejo (Argentina) and Glen Worthey (USA) have
signaled they would be interested in drafting such a document. Hopefully
sooner, rather than later, so we can proceed with deliberations.
After the second argument is made, a third argument is possible if enough
members feel there should be a middle path, or a "third way."
We should have a collective deadline of December 1 for deliberations. In
that time, we encourage general and executive members to debate on the list
what you would like to see GO::DH become. All of your discussion, comments,
will be taken into consideration as the executive votes on a final decision
by December 15.
We will announce the results of the process before the year ends, and
hopefully move forward with renewed energy into the next stage of GO::DH.
Next year, I will pass on the baton to a new chair who will carry out our
collective will, but will help in the transition, whatever that is, as long
as I'm chair.
All best,
Alex.
Dear all,
*[tl; dr*: You can download the publication, read more about it, including
user feedback, reviews and interviews with authors and participants at

As we all know one of the anxieties around digital humanities is how we
define the field/practice. What gets called DH, who gets to 'do' DH, how
many resources, how much funding, do we need to 'do' DH?
Without calling it 'DH', I led a little (but labour intensive) project in
which we worked with an open online resource that collects, curates and
shares good practice in dementia care. (Dementia, by the way, is one of the
major societal changes today, as we live longer and social care keeps
suffering budget cuts).
What we did was follow Human-Computer Interaction Design research processes
to work with users in not only testing the online resource but in figuring
out whether we could adapt some of the stories collected by the resource in
comic book form.
The result is a digital-and-print publication. The 'digital publication' is
a simple static PDF, mostly meant to be shared via the open access
institutional repositories of the participating institutions. The print
publication is distributed to the public by request and is currently being
distributed within the UK to libraries, NHS Trusts and mental health
charities.
Whether we could have done something more interactive and properly
born-digital is unquestionable--that we lacked the funding and working
conditions is unquestionable too. However we are happy with the result and
the feedback we are receiving. I think this may be an example of how with
relatively small resources one can at least aspire to a significant impact
amongst targeted demographics hopefully beyond academia. (We already have
data the comic has reached different occupations-- percentages chart
attached).

Thank you for your time reading this and to the whole group for allowing us
this space to share multidisciplinary work.
All the best,

Dear GO:DH community members,
The topic of providing access to digital publications continues to be a
crucial focus point for those involved in digital textual scholarship and
scholarly editing. We'd therefore like to reach out to textual scholars,
digital editors, digital librarians, software developers, computer
scientists, web designers -- in short, all those involved in the creation,
publication, and dissemination of digital scholarly editions.
Earlier this year, as part of a Marie Sklodowska-Curie DiXiT ITN(Digital
Scholarly Editions Innovative Training Network) collaboration, we set up a
survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY> on Inclusive Design and
Dissemination in Digital Scholarly Editing, which you may have seen passing
by on some listservs. After a successful presentation of the preliminary
results of the survey (at the Digital Humanities conference in Montreal
this summer [link <https://dh2017.adho.org/abstracts/373/373.pdf>]) we
continue to expand our research into this important issue.
If you haven't filled out the survey
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY> yet, we'd be very grateful if you
could take the time (about 20 minutes) to share your thoughts and
experience with us. By doing so, you will contribute to the study of
improving inclusive design, and you will help us to examine how issues of
accessibility affect scholarly editors, information professionals, and an
audience of readers. You can start the survey by clicking on this link
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY>. We will keep all responses
anonymous and guard your data very securely. (There is a demographic
section but you do NOT have to provide your name). If you have any
questions about how the data we collect will be used, please do not
hesitate to contact Merisa Martinez at merisa.martinez(a)hb.se. Further, if
you have any suggestions for people or projects that you think would
benefit from providing their feedback to this survey
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY>, we would be very grateful if you
could please send those names to us at dixitsurvey1(a)gmail.com.
As an incentive for our respondents, we are offering a raffle of 25 digital
Amazon gift cards in denominations of $20/€20 (as the case may be). We will
randomly select 25 recipients to receive these gift cards as a thank you
for completing the survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY>.*
The survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY> will be open until
November 1. We will send a reminder email on October 23rd. Thank you for
your time and consideration, and for providing us with your very valuable
feedback,
Merisa Martinez, Elli Bleeker, Wout Dillen, Anna Maria Sichani, and Aodhan
Kelly.
*NB:The gift cards are reserved for those who complete the survey.

Dear Alex and dear all:
as anyone on this list (and beyond this list) knows, I've been very
critical of the ADHO model for the last six or seven years. I've made a
number of proposals addressing institutional, cultural and linguistic
issues (see in English:
https://www.digitalstudies.org/articles/10.16995/dscn.274/), and in the
next weeks I'll try to add my contributions to the "Leave" document.
So the first thing I'd like to say is that I support Alex and Roopika's
move. What other friends and I had in mind as an istrument to overcome the
ADHO's model was a Federative system, but, admittedly, this is not going to
happen anytime soon. Alex and Roopika's proposals seem a good start insofar
as it tries to return to a project-based community that goes beyond the
classical model of accumulation of symbolic power (i.e. academic
visibility, etc.).
Two of the weakest points of ADHO were (and are) in my opinion the lack of
transparency and the an unequal representation system, mainly based on
income. So I particularly liked this sentence: "guaranteed representation
in the executive from agreed-upon, major regions of the planet."
While I second the "GO::DHexit", I would also like to add that at this
point we need more information about the negotations between GO::DH and
ADHO. In reading Alex and Roopika's document I couldn't help perceiving a
sub-text of unspoken issues.
It also worries me when Barbara says she didn't know about ADHO asking
GO::DH to pay membership fees, because if she didn't know, then who knows?
All the best
Domenico
Dear all,
I'm honored to share with you the 2018 Call for Reviewers of the DH2018
conference to be held in Mexico City. Many of our original and current
members, including the wonderful RedHD team
<http://www.humanidadesdigitales.net/>, have worked hard to see the
conference take place in Mexico City and expand the scope of reviewers, and
therefore the global professional formation. The message below is slightly
modified for address.
Best,
Alex
------
Dear colleagues,
The DH2018 Program Committee is happy to let you know that we’re building
on last year’s effort to expand our pool of reviewers. This expansion is in
line with ADHO’s conference protocol [http://adho.org/admi
nistration/conference-coordinating/adho-conference-protocol] that
new reviewers be invited to participate in the DH conference
review process. We believe not only that an expanded reviewer pool will
make the work of the PC easier and better (on the “many hands make light
work” principle), but also that reviewing for the conference is one of the
most important ways of engaging our community, encouraging greater
community ownership of our conference, and enabling deeper involvement in
it.
This year in particular, with the conference being hosted in Latin America,
we are keen to recruit more reviewers in the two primary languages of the
region: Spanish and Portuguese. As you may know, it is the recommendation
of ADHO’s Multilingual/Multicultural Committee to accept conference
submissions in a particular language as long as there are sufficient
reviewers in that language; it is our hope that we can add Portuguese to
the DH linguistic community in this way, and that DH2018 will be remembered
as a small watershed in the promotion of multilingualism and
multiculturalism.
Candidates must meet at least two of the following reviewer requirements:
- Be currently associated (or have been recently associated)
professionally with an institutional DH program, project, or initiative
within the last three years.
- Hold at least a Master’s degree or equivalent in a DH-relevant
discipline (including, but not limited to, the Humanities, Social or
Natural Sciences, Library Science, Fine Arts, etc.)
- Have presented at an ADHO-, CO- or SIG-organized conference,
symposium, colloquium, or equivalent, including those organized by RedHD,
one of DH2018’s host organizations
- Have published a DH-specific article or essay in a scholarly journal
or volume (either print or electronic).
The Steering Committee approved the following wording in terms of ADHO’s
ongoing efforts to support diversity and inclusion within our discipline:
“Nominations should reflect ADHO's mission and seem relevant to improve
the diversity and inclusivity of the conference in consideration of
language and gender. In putting forward a candidate, the nominator should
be cognizant of and attentive to their own organization's statement
of diversity.”
Nominees should submit their information and qualifications, and indicate
their willingness to serve as reviewers, by *October 31, 2017* on this form:
*http://bit.ly/DH2018reviewer* <http://bit.ly/DH2018reviewer>
Self-nominations are welcome.
We will review all the nominees’ qualifications, compile a list of proposed
reviewers, and submit it to Claire Clivaz for final review and approval by
the CCC. Approved reviewers will be contacted via ConfTool to confirm their
willingness to participate and ask them to create or update their ConfTool
user profile to include the language(s) in which they are proficient for
evaluating professional work and their areas of expertise.
Thanks for your help, and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any
questions.
Sincerely,
Élika Ortega & Glen Worthey
PC2018 Co-Chairs
