In 2018, how have digital humanities scholars taken up the call to expand the literary and historical canon to include groups that have been understudied or misrepresented by the print record? What does an intersectional, feminist DH methodology look like, who or what is it transforming, and how might we practice it in our own institutions? Transformative Digital Humanities: Feminist Interventions in Structure, Representation, and Practice asks how digital work might better support the knowledge and cultural production of women and people of color. We invite humanities scholars, librarians, archivists, digital historians, and others to connect and participate in a day of discussion that will address questions about the organizational and technical infrastructures needed to support transformative digital research, and consider alternative modes of representing gender and race in digital archives.

Dear all, ***Apologies for resending. Wrong subject line in previous email*** One of my co-PIs on the Open Islamicate Texts Initiative (OpenITI) <http://iti-corpus.github.io/>, Sarah Bowen Savant, recently received a large ERC grant for her research project on the history of the Arabic book. (In short, they are working with David Smith on using and modifying his text reuse algorithms to study Arabic book history.) See more on the KITAB project here <http://kitab-project.org/>. As a part of the grant, they are hiring a technical lead/solutions manager. Job ad is here <http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BHQ171/technical-lead-solutions-architect-digital…>. I think they are looking for a DH specialist who has project management and (at least some) coding/development skills. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please feel free to forward to them. Best, Matt
