Announcing CBOX OpenLab
by matt.lists＠gmail.com 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

The Commons In A Box team at The Graduate Center, CUNY is delighted to announce the public release of Commons In A Box OpenLab, a free open-source software platform for teaching, learning, and collaboration. Over the past two years, we have partnered with the OpenLab team at New York City College of Technology, CUNY (City Tech) to develop a teaching-focused version of Commons In A Box modeled on City Tech’s OpenLab, an open digital platform that has served more than 27,000 members of the City Tech community since its launch in Fall 2011. With today’s release, Commons In A Box (CBOX) now includes a choice of two packages: CBOX Classic and CBOX OpenLab. CBOX Classic, the original version of our software, provides a flexible platform designed for communities of all kinds. It powers sites for hundreds of groups and organizations worldwide, who use it to create social networks where members can collaborate on projects, build communities, publish research, and create repositories of knowledge. The new package, CBOX OpenLab, is specifically designed to support teaching, learning, and collaboration. Unlike closed online teaching systems, it allows members to share their work openly with one another and the world. Like a lab, it provides a space where students, faculty, and staff can work together, experiment, and innovate. We believe CBOX OpenLab provides a powerful and flexible open alternative to costly proprietary educational platforms, enabling faculty and staff members, departments, and entire institutions to create and customize community spaces for open learning. The creation of CBOX OpenLab was made possible by generous funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Office of Digital Humanities. The project seeks to enhance humanities education – and public understanding of humanities education – by enabling the work of students, and faculty, and staff to be more visible and connected to the outside world. It also seeks to deepen engagement between the digital humanities and pedagogy by incorporating software (plugins) developed by digital humanities practitioners. To learn more, read the official announcement and explore our newly-updated site, which provides extensive documentation, demo sites, and support forums where you can get help and advice. We look forward to hearing from you! -- Matthew K. Gold, Ph.D. Acting Director, M.A. Program in Digital Humanities & M.S.

Reminder: Global Digital Humanities Symposium CFP - Deadline to apply Nov 15
by Mapes, Kristen 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Dear colleagues, We welcome proposals from around the world for the 4th annual Global DH Symposium at Michigan State University. This year we have incorporated an option to present virtually. While most of the presentations at this event will be in person presentations, we wanted to ensure there were a few spots available to people unable to present in person or for whom traveling to the US would pose a risk. Additionally, we are continuing our policy of providing travel funding to speakers who request it, and we hope to be ever more effective at making the Symposium truly global. Please spread the word, and do message me with any questions! Sincerely, Kristen Mapes Global Digital Humanities Symposium March 21-22, 2019 MSU, Main Library, Green Room msuglobaldh.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.msuglobaldh.org_&d=…> Call for Proposals Deadline: November 15 Proposal form<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_forms_…> Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its fourth 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. Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism, intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial frameworks to participate. Given the growth of these fields within 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. DH communities have raised and responded to these issues, pushing the field forward. We view the 2019 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. Additionally, we define the term "humanities" rather broadly to incorporate the discussion of issues that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of the humanities. 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 Thursday, November 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 * Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context Presentation Formats: * 5-minute lightning talk * 15-minute presentation * 90-minute workshop * 90-minute panel * There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute virtual presentations Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal. Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 22, 2018 Kristen Mapes Assistant Director of Digital Humanities, 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 | @kmapesy she/her/hers

"PIIGS of Knowledge"- event in Rome
by Ernesto Priego 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

Dear all, With apologies for cross-posting. This week, (which is International Open Access Week <http://www.openaccessweek.org/>, by the way), on Wednesday October 24 and Thursday October 25 an international meeting dedicated to the digital humanities and the hegemonies of scientific knowledge will be held at Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy. The title of the event is "Ricerca scientifica, monopoli della conoscenza e Digital Humanities. Prospettive critiche dall’Europa del Sud" (Research, Monopolies of Knowledge and the Digital Humanities: Critical Perspectives from Southern Europe"). The event's goal is to turn around the pejorative "PIIGS" label (used to refer to Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) and introduce a view from the South on the geopolitics of digital knowledge: the issues around open access, Anglophone hegemony in journal publishing, exorbitant costs of subscriptions for libraries, research assessment systems, etc. We thought it was important to interrogatet his label from socio-anthropological and postcolonial perspectives in order to take it as a starting point of resistance to the policies that are destroying Europe as a whole. The term "PIIGS" first appeared in 2009 in *The Economist *referring to the economies of Southern Europe. Our aim is to discuss how Mediterranean countries have uncritically and silently accepted the rules of the Global North regarding the production and dissemination of academic and scientific knowledge. We will reflect on how knowledge monopolies in science are manipulating the production of knowledge not only in the Global South, but also in relatively less marginal cultures and languages (including PIIGS countries). (On PIIGS, it's insightful to watch at least the first fiive minute sof htis film: https://youtu.be/bHXeGjrOJLQ). ¿Are we then the Digital Humanities' 'PIIGS'? This is the question that a group of digital humanists, sociologists, philosophers, historians and economists will address in this event. The programme is attached to this email. This event has been organised with the support of the “Community as Opportunity-Creative archives and users network” (Creative Europe-Culture Sub-programme 2014-2020) project, led by Manuel Salamanca (UCM) and the Department of Political Science at Roma Tre University (Domenico Fiormonte). The event is free and will be live streamed via http://streaming.uniroma3.it/ and https://ww.youtube.com/channel/UCPtgISuy061980fGS63VWiA. <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPtgISuy061980fGS63VWiA> We hope the international community of the digital humanities is interested in the perspectives that this event will offer.

Fw: ADHO2019: SIG pre-conference opportunities
by Borovsky, Zoe 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

Dear GO:DH: I sent the message below to SIG convener email list. Since this opportunity is rather new, and the SIG convener list may be outdated, I'm passing the info to the entire group. Sincere apologies if I'm out of the loop on current GO:DH conveners. --zoe ........... Dear SIG conveners: Diana Jakacki, Chair of ADHO's Conference Coordinating Committee has asked me to contact you regarding an opportunity at ADHO2019. This year, the various SIGs can offer a 'guaranteed' 1/2 day slot: either a workshop or mini-conference before DH2019. The SIG workshops would not go through ConfTool review with other ADHO workshops, but the SIGs could decide on their own internal process. (Note: This year there will not be the option of a guaranteed SIG session within the academic program. If a SIG wants to put together a panel that's great, but it would need to go through regular review.) If your SIG is interested in the 1/2 day opportunity, please contact: Diane Jakacki, Ph.D. Chair, Conference Coordinating Committee Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations diane.jakacki(a)bucknell.edu (please cc me: zoe(a)library.ucla.edu) The SIG conveners email list members is being updated. Thanks! --zoe Zoe Borovsky, Ph.D. Librarian for Digital Research and Scholarship UCLA Library (Liaison to the ADHO SIGs)

MA in Digital Humanities @ Loyola University Chicago: Online Info Session 10/25
by luctsdh 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Join us for an Online Info Session on Thursday October 25, 7pm CST. We'll discuss the curriculum, classes, and the career paths you can take with a Master's degree in Digital Humanities. Register at: https://gpem.luc.edu/register/?id=784cf149-cc7f-4f8b-b88d-f40f2122d1ae%20 Our Master's Program Learn first-hand the ways in which computational technologies are transforming how we ask- and seek to answer- age-old humanistic questions. Gain a theoretical understanding of how technology shapes our lived experience while developing practical knowledge of making and building. Our Students Our students arrive from different fields and disciplines, including literary studies, history, computer science, communications, and library and information science. They come from diverse cultural backgrounds, and find a home in Loyola's interdisciplinary research center, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/>, where they undertake research projects, present public programs, and gather socially. Our Curriculum In our 30-hour part-time or full-time program, our students are trained in the practice and critical study of the intersections between the humanities and computational social science. Coursework<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/academics/curriculum/> and research projects range from digital textual editing, archiving, publishing, and data analysis, to the study of new media. Students collaborate with world-renowned faculty and curators before embarking on a capstone project of their own design. Your Career MA in Digital Humanities graduates are prepared for careers in the private and academic sectors, including education, libraries, archives, museums, tech firms, and PhD programs. ? What Our Students Say "The diversity and global stature of Chicago are big parts of the reason I love the city. I was drawn to Loyola's strong reputation and emphasis on knowledge not for its own sake but for the service of others and the human community. Loyola's commitment to excellence and global awareness resonated with me during a time when our political leaders at the state and national level seem determined to pull away from science and the global community. Loyola's commitment to social justice in Plan 2020 (https://www.luc.edu/strategicplanning/plan2020/) gave me confidence that a degree from Loyola would prepare me not just for my own future, but to give back to others in Chicago and make a positive difference in the world." - Tyler Monaghan, Class of 2019 We are currently accepting applications for admission<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/academics/maindigitalhumanities/> for the Fall 2019 semester.

by luctsdh 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Please join us for the launch of the Charles Harpur Critical Archive http://charles-harpur.org/ Wednesday, October 17, 3-4:30 pm Cuneo Hall 417 Loyola University Chicago ?We will celebrate the publication of this digital archive and scholarly edition of the poetic works and letters of Charles Harpur (1813-1868), the most important poet of colonial New South Wales. A Romantic celebrator of Australian landscape, an early environmentalist, a political satirist and love poet, Harpur and his works remain vitally alive today. But they have not been easily accessible. Project Director Prof. Paul Eggert will share some background on his inspiration and experience developing the site. He will be followed by a panel discussion on poetry and the act of revision, a key hallmark of Harpur's work, with Dr. Melissa Bradshaw, Dr. Jasper Cragwall, and Andrew Welch. A reception will follow. To RSVP, please email CTSDH Director Kyle Roberts (kroberts2(a)luc.edu?<mailto:kroberts2@luc.edu?subject=Harpur%20Critical%20Archive%20Launch%20RSVP>?). ?
