December 1 Referendum | Election Official
by Alex Gil 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

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.

An Afternoon at (Virtual) Walden: A Panel Discussion with Tracy Fullerton (USC) Monday, Nov 13th, 3-4:30 pm
by luctsdh 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

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.

Re: [globaloutlookDH-l] Why we should leave ADHO, go minimal and return to the planet.

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.

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.

Why we should leave ADHO, go minimal and return to the planet.
by Alex Gil 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

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.

Parables of Care
by Ernesto Priego 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

Dear all, *[tl; dr*: You can download the publication, read more about it, including user feedback, reviews and interviews with authors and participants at https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/] <https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/> 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). You can download the publication, read more about it, including user feedback, reviews and interviews with authors and participants at https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/ Thank you for your time reading this and to the whole group for allowing us this space to share multidisciplinary work.

Inclusive Design and Dissemination of Digital Scholarly Editions
by Merisa Martinez 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

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.

Re: [globaloutlookDH-l] Why we should leave ADHO, go minimal and return to the planet.
by Domenico Fiormonte 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

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

Call for DH2018 Reviewers
by Alex Gil 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

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
