The best of these will be presented at the symposium and will be considered for inclusion in a planned special issue of the Journal of Media Ethics on the symposium theme.
We will also consider other scholarly work on topics such as privacy, anonymity, griefing, free speech, intellectual property, hacking, scamming, surveillance, information mining, transparency, digital citizenship, or anything else relating to ethical questions and digital technology. This is an interdisciplinary symposium, we welcome all backgrounds and approaches to research.
Abstracts should propose original research that has not been presented or published elsewhere. The abstract should be between 500 and 1,000 words in length (not including references) and should include a discussion of the methodology used.
Authors of accepted papers will be eligible for up to $400 in travel funds to be able to attend the Chicago symposium. The author(s) of the top student paper will be eligible for up to $1,000 in travel funds.
Abstracts are due by midnight CST on May 11th, 2018, and should follow APA or MLA style.

Please join us this Friday, March 23rd, for a free day conference at Loyola exploring feminist approaches to the Digital Humanities. From our earliest discussions, we have hoped this conference would not only foster a discussion about a pressing topic but also serve as a site of gathering and networking for scholars and librarians from across Chicagoland and beyond. Information and registration for the conference are below. To those who have already registered, we look forward to seeing you on the 23rd. To those who haven't, we hope to see you, too!

Transformative Digital Humanities
------------------------------------------------------------
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.

The theme for this year's conference is Open Access in Caribbean Libraries, Archives and Museums: Opportunities, Challenges and Future Directions. ACURIL's President, our colleague Kumaree Ramtahal, has convened a Programme Committee with a mandate of developing a conference program which highlights Caribbean and global case studies on managing open access issues. These issues will be addressed under four subthemes (Open Access: Global/Caribbean Context; Open Access: Policy, Strategy and Advocacy; Open Access: Professional Development and User Education; Open Access: Innovation and Trends).
The ACURIL 2018 conference offers unique opportunities (The 3 C's) for Continuing Education (professional development), Contributing scholarly works (submit a paper, poster, workshop presentation) and Collaborating (network with your colleagues from the English, French, Dutch and Spanish-speaking Caribbean).

Dear Members,
Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH) is holding its fifth Executive Committee elections.
According to the approved bylaws, establishing procedures by which GO::DH is governed, four out of eight of the seats on the Executive Committee are up for election this year. Each elected committee member serves a two-year term. All outgoing members are eligible to stand for re-election, and we warmly welcome new candidates who have not served on the Executive Committee before. There are no restrictions on participation other than a willingness to further the aims of the organisation.
The nomination period opened on February 26 for a period of two weeks. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to send reminders as we initially planned. For this reason, we would like to extend the nomination period for another 10 days (through the end of Business on March 25th, anywhere in the world).
To nominate yourself or someone else as a candidate, please email the returning officers, Gurpreet Singh and Daniel O'Donnell at nominations(a)globaloutlookdh.org<mailto:nominations@globaloutlookdh.org>.
Self-nominations are welcome and very common.
In your email, please include:
1) The nominee’s name (your own if a self-nomination)

4) A brief bio for the candidate
Elections will start on Friday, March 16, 2018 and will stay open till Sunday April 1, 2018. Elections will be held by electronic ballot. If for some reason you cannot access or use an electronic ballot, please contact the returning officers to make alternate arrangements.
