On behalf of the FSCI 2019 steering committee, I'm pleased to share the following now-official news!
#
FORCE11 is pleased to announce the third annual FORCE11 Scholarly Communication Institute (FSCI) will take place at UCLA from August 5 to 9, 2019. With this move, FORCE11 begins a long-term collaboration with the UCLA Library to plan and present FSCI, and improve understanding and engagement with the fast-changing world of research communication on campuses everywhere.
FSCI started in 2017 as a partnership between FORCE11 and the University of California at San Diego. Now setting down roots in Los Angeles, California, FSCI is a week-long summer school in open research for researchers, librarians, publishers, university administrators, funders, students and post-docs that incorporates intensive coursework, seminars, group activities, lectures and hands-on training. Participants learn from leading experts, have the chance to discuss the latest trends and to gain expertise in new technologies. FSCI is transdisciplinary and relevant across the sciences, social sciences and humanities.
“Working together with the academic community to explore frontiers in research communications is key to changing practices,” said Ginny Steel, UCLA Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian. “The UCLA Library has been actively involved in efforts to enhance and expand scholarly discourse through openness, and the summer institute will be a valuable forum for us to consider the opportunities and challenges in concert with the international research community. We look forward to welcoming everyone in August.”
FSCI courses explore changing practice in data-sharing, authorship, peer review, research assessment, publishing and more. There are courses for those who know very little about current trends and technologies and courses for those ready to pursue advanced topics. FSCI covers scholarly communication from a variety of disciplinary, regional and international perspectives.
“We’re so pleased to name the UCLA Library as our partner for FSCI,” added Daniel O’Donnell, Chair of the FORCE11 Board of Directors and Professor of English at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. “FSCI is a vibrant, inclusive and accessible forum for individuals from across sectors to apply themselves to learn about emerging topics and take them back to their home institutions. The librarian scholars at the UCLA Library are recognised leaders in improving research communication, and together with the wider academic community of UCLA will enrich the FSCI program in fantastic ways.”
The 5-day FSCI will take place at UCLA August 5 through 9, 2019. Course information and registration will be available in spring. To be kept up-to-date on details as they emerge, sign up to receive email updates, join us on Facebook, or follow @force11rescomm on Twitter.

The Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies at Duke University offers a Master's Degree in Digital Art History and Computational Media. The program builds on courses and well-developed strengths at Duke University. The program requires 10 courses over three or four semesters in addition to summer research. Limited funding may become available in the form of grants and assistantships to students contingent upon positive progress in the program.
Note that we are also pleased to announce a Samuel H. Kress Foundation Fellowship to promote the study of digital methods in art history and visual studies for women and underrepresented groups.
The Digital Art History track integrates historical disciplines and the study of cultural artifacts with digital visualization techniques for the analysis and presentation of research. The Computational Media track is designed for graduate students focused on the study, creation, and use of digital media and computation in the arts and humanities.
Please see our website (https://gradschool.duke.edu/academics/programs-degrees/digital-art-historyc…) or contact us (dah_cm(a)duke.edu<mailto:dah_cm@duke.edu?subject=Prospective%20Student%20Inquiry>) for further questions.

Dear colleagues,
I am passing along details of the ELO2019 CFP, which may be of interest to
those in your networks. Please considering sharing...
Proposals are now being accepted for presentations and exhibition pieces at
the annual Electronic Literature Organization Conference and Media Arts
Festival, to be held July 15-17, 2019 at University College Cork, Ireland.
Electronic literature, or e-lit, refers to literary works wherein
computation forms some essential part of the aesthetic.
#ELO19 offers an opportunity to share research and creative contributions
within an engaging, collegial atmosphere comprising e-lit scholars and
practitioners from across the globe.
The theme for this year’s ELO gathering is “peripheries”: delegates are
invited to explore the edges of literary and digital culture, including
emerging traditions, indeterminate structures and processes, fringe
communities of praxis, effaced forms and genres, marginalised bodies, and
perceptual failings.
#ELO19 will mark the first time that the ELO conference has been hosted by
an Irish institution: join us for this momentous gathering!
*For full full details of the call, see:*
http://elo2019.ucc.ie/cfp/
I have also attached a PDF copy of the call, for those who might find that
easier to circulate.
Best wishes,
James

Hi all,
This is a reminder that the nomination period for the directors of GO::DH is currently open (it closes Monday Nov 19 at Midnight in all timezones).
The work of a GO::DH board member is not heavy, but it is important to our community and the support of an approach to DH that recognises, supports, and encourages linguistic, regional, and other forms of diversity. The Board is the group that oversees this.
We are looking for at least four nominees for election and/or acclamation to the Board (we are currently just under that number).
Please consider nominating yourself or somebody else in our community by emailing the returning officers, Daniel O'Donnell and Gurpreet Singh, at elections(a)globaloutlookdh.org:
In your email, please include the following information:
* The name of the nominee
* Preferred email address of the nominee (if you are nominating somebody other than yourself, please be sure to cc your nominee on the email so that we know they are willing to stand and that we know we have a working email address for them).
* An optional brief candidate statement (<250 words). This can be anything you wish: a bio; an explanation of your aims for the position; political planks. This statement will be published to the GO::DH website.
GO::DH elections are preceded by a nomination period of two weeks in which members are asked to consider nominating themselves or someone else for election to the GO::DH board (self-nominations are welcome and common; if you nominate somebody else, please ensure that they are willing to stand for election before you do and cc them on the nomination). After nominations close, the election is held by electronic ballot open to all subscribers to the list.
The executive has eight voting positions, half of which are up for election each year. This means that we have four positions to fill this year. All out going members of the executive are eligible for reelection, though not all have indicated that they intended to stand again. It is also the norm at GO::DH that we have competitive elections with more than one candidate. All who wish to put their names forward will be warmly welcomed as candidates.
All voting positions on the board are for two year terms that can be renewed three times.
The election will be held the week after nominations close should there be more nominees than positions.
Please consider nominating yourself or somebody you know for a position on the GO::DH board. GO::DH has done great work in our field, but it depends on the efforts of those willing to volunteer. The workload involved is not particularly onerous.

Global Digital Humanities Symposium
March 21-22, 2019
MSU, Main Library, Green Room
msuglobaldh.org<http://www.msuglobaldh.org/>
Call for Proposals
Deadline: November 18
Proposal form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8WhgGPBMvMhni-uv80BGNI1cVFW2GatY…>
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<http://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 Sunday, November 18, midnight anytime:
* 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
