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.

*Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University* *March 22-23, 2018* *We are committed to bringing a wide-ranging and diverse group of participants and presenters for our conference. To further this end, there will be funds available to assist or offset the costs of travel. There is an option to request consideration for travel funds in the proposal form. If you have any questions, please email dh(a)msu.edu <dh(a)msu.edu>.* *Call for Proposals* Deadline to submit a proposal: Friday, December 15, 11:59pm EST msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its third year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cplong.org_2016_10_crit…>, values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form manifests a critical perspective on the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, endangered data <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__endangereddataweek.org_…>, and the digital divide. We view the 2018 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global <http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/> for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/>, a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/> that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships and capacity building. WIDE <http://wide.msu.edu> has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/>. Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by *Friday, December 15, 11:59pm EST:* - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement - Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance, especially in a postcolonial context - DH responses to crisis - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations - Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context *Presentation Formats:* - 3-5-minute lightning talk - 15-minute presentation - 90-minute workshop - 90-minute panel *Proposal form*: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.msuglobaldh.org_sub… Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308 East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu

Call for participants - DH2018 roundtable on first generation DH pedagogy
by Anelise Shrout 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hello, I would love to put together a roundtable for DH2018 to explore DH pedagogy for students who are not “traditional” DH practitioners.I imagine that this roundtable could explore DH pedagogy that centers, rather than merely accommodates, first-generation students and minority students – a pedagogy that is necessarily decolonized, global, and anti-neoliberal. The idea for this roundtable comes out of my own research on how the development of DH pedagogy in the United States presupposes white, middle/upper class students who already have a lot of educational and technological capital. Most American students are actually the first in their families to attend college, and the DH pedagogical model we have in the U.S. now (at best) accommodates those students rather than centering their experiences. My instinct is that similar processes are playing out elsewhere - insofar as DH seems designed for students who already have an expectation of what DH is/could be, and not for students who are encountering it for the first time as they encounter higher-ed for the first time. I’d ask each panelist to briefly discuss some of the joys and challenges of teaching DH to first-generation students, and leave considerable time for an audience discussion of specific pedagogical tools. I am particularly looking for non-US DH participants. Please drop me a line if interested!

Global Debates deadline extended!
by Domenico Fiormonte 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear all, we are pleased to announce a three-week extension for submitting abstracts for the Global Debates in the Digital Humanities volume ( http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/cfps/cfp_2017_global_digital_humanities.html). The new deadline is Nov 28th! Arabic, Chinese and Russian versions of the CFP will be soon available online. We remind you that the aim of the volume is to foster reflection on Digital Humanities outside the Anglophone and Western contexts. We're impressed by the number and quality of the proposals received so far, but we'd like to receive more especially from less visible groups, countries and projects based in Middle-East, Asia, Africa and Latin America. We hope to hear the voices of (and from) the local territories and cultures, even more perhaps than mapping well-known Western-funded projects on those cultures. Please help us to disseminate the news among your networks in various geographic regions! Thanks Domenico, Sukanta and Paola <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Mail priva di virus. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

re-thinking-repensando DH HD
by Ernesto Priego 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear all, The recent conversations in another thread on this list regarding the future of GO::DH reminded me of this 2012 site and poster I made for the Primer Encuentro de Humanistas Digitales en la Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Ciudad de México (17 y 18 de mayo de 2012). Five years have passed... five summers with the length of etc. The poster itself has had a few views and downloads since I deposited it on figshare in 2013 but sadly it has not had any citations so far that I know of. The site has received no visits at all for four years now. I think some of the points made on the poster and the site echo some of the ideas being discussed about this group. This is not the first time I abuse my membership by sharing examples of my work here with other members of this list. I hope you don't mind. This is not really about self-promotion, but about trying to re-engage with the work and the topics that, if produced and disseminated outside the traditional channels, seemed destined to quick burials. Or perhaps there is nothing interesting there-- that's also possible... Site: https://disidenciacognitiva.wordpress.com/ PDF on figshare: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.705832.v3 It's CC-BY.
