Good morning, Please share the news on the next webinar in the Caribbean Studies in the Digital Age series. Please let me know on any questions. Best wishes, Laurie [cid:image001.jpg@01D3E067.A1D3EC30] Caribbean Scholarship in the Digital Age is a webinar series showcasing digital and/as public research and teaching in Caribbean Studies. The series provides a collaborative space for professionals to share on projects and experiences to foster communication and support our shared constellations of communities of practice. Please join us for an upcoming event, Ramble Bahamas, May 7, 2018, 11am-12pm (Miami Time). Presenters: Dr. Tracey Thompson and Jessica Dawson, University of The Bahamas Click here to participate in the online event: https://ufl.zoom.us/j/8927374603 About the Presentation: 2017 marked the fiftieth anniversary of a watershed in Bahamian political life: the advent of majority rule. So as to pay tribute to that anniversary in an appealing and enduring way, "From Dat Time": The Oral & Public History Institute of the University of The Bahamas ("FDT") launched an ambitious venture in the field of digital humanities. The "FDT" team, guided by the Institute's mandate to develop curricular and recreational materials in a variety of media, committed itself to fashioning a digital heritage trail through which Bahamian students could retrace important steps in the Bahamian political story. The team went further: it envisioned building a platform that could serve as a publication engine for all research undertaken by the Institute. Such a platform, so the team judged, would augment limited scholarly publication in the field of Bahamian political history. It would widen access to historical literature among students and educators located throughout the far-flung Bahamian archipelago. It would draw on the Institute's strength as a vehicle devoted to collecting and preserving oral narratives of community elders, many of whom had played significant roles in social, educational, and political transformations in the mid-1900s. It would press into service a media archive consisting of rare photos and film from the 1960s and 1970s - images long hidden from public view. The result of the team's investment was Ramble Bahamas. Utilizing the Omeka content management system and the Curatescape framework, Ramble Bahamas presents geographically-tagged exhibits about historically significant places and objects in The Bahamas. Each exhibit is comprised of a narrative outlining the importance of the location or object, relevant historic and contemporary images, and oral history audio or video clips in which informed narrators speak of events associated with the location or object. Since its launch in November 2016, Ramble Bahamas has been introduced to students at the University of The Bahamas and to high school teachers of History and Geography. Plans are under way to integrate the platform into national curricula in History so as to advance the nation-building mandate of the university. About the Speakers: Tracey Thompson, PhD: As Director of "From Dat Time": The Oral & Public History Institute of the University of The Bahamas, Tracey Thompson oversees the research programme and administrative processes of the institute. Tracey has been involved in research, teaching, and administration at the University of The Bahamas for more than twenty-five years. Her research foci lie principally in African and African Diaspora History, in Philosophy of History, in Oral History, and in Public History. Jessica Dawson, MA: In her capacity as Public History Fellow in Research & Technology for "From Dat Time": The Oral & Public History Institute of the University of The Bahamas, Jessica Dawson acted as webmaster and curator for Ramble Bahamas. Prior to this, she taught tertiary courses in the field of cultural anthropology and worked in historic preservation. She holds a B.A. in Anthropology from Washington State University and an M.A. in American Studies & Public History from Youngstown State University.

FW: Survey: Attitudes towards digital culture and technology in the Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)
by Spence, Paul 23 Apr '18

23 Apr '18

Dear all This may interest people working with Modern (Foreign) Languages - please forward as appropriate. ** Apologies for cross-posting ** As part of the AHRC-funded (OWRI) 'Language Acts & Worldmaking' project, we are conducting a survey on attitudes towards digital culture and technology in the Modern Foreign Languages, with attention to both theory and practice. If your work/research involves Modern Foreign Languages in some way, we would be very interested to hear about your experiences and invite you to take part in our survey. The survey is aimed at people with any level of digital expertise, and whose work involves Modern Foreign Languages in any role (whether that be as researcher, learner, teacher, funder, policy-maker, digital practitioner, cultural practitioner or other). For most participants, the survey will take about 15 minutes. For those who have strong involvement in digital theory or practice, you will be offered additional optional questions which might make the survey longer. We will analyse the survey results for future presentation and publication - all results will be anonymised- and will present initial findings in the coming year. This survey is part of a research project called 'Modern Foreign Languages Research: Digital Mediations' which was submitted to, and approved by, the King's College Research Ethics committee under its Minimal Ethical Risk Registration Process (REC Reference Number: MR/17/18-280). The survey will be open until 31st May 2018 If you have any questions, please contact Paul Spence at paul.spence(a)kcl.ac.uk Link to survey: https://kings.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/attitudes-towards-dc-in-mfl Many thanks Paul Spence and Renata Brandão King's College London For more information about our research, see https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/ -- Paul Spence Senior Lecturer Department of Digital Humanities King's College London Strand London WC2R 2LS paul.spence(a)kcl.ac.uk https://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/ddh/index.aspx Programme Convenor for MA in Digital Humanities Co-Investigator on Language Acts & Worldmaking project https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/ Twitter: @dhpaulspence (English)/@hdpaulspence (castellano)

[CFP] The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities 2018 at Tokyo, September 9-11
by KITAMOTO Asanobu 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Dear colleagues, This year, annual conference of the Japanese Association for Digital Humanities (JADH) will be held at Tokyo, September 9-11. The deadline is May 8. ****************** CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline May 8) ****************** JADH (The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities) conference 2018 co-located with TEI (Text Encoding Initiative Consortium) conference 2018 http://conf2018.jadh.org/ ********************************************************************** - Submission Deadline: May 8, 2018 - Notification of Acceptance: May 31, 2018 - Conference date: September 9-11, 2018 - Venue: Hitotsubashi Hall, Tokyo The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals globally on all aspects of digital humanities, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that aim to cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, organizations, and so on, as related to the field of digital humanities. Theme: "Leveraging Open Data" Open Data has recently been a driver in various fields. The notion, activities, and the data themselves have gradually been gaining attention in the humanities. Large scale reusable data and greater integration of open data provide new research opportunities with relatively few costs. Open data has been strongly assisted by recent developments in digital tools, guidelines and frameworks that leverage digital cultural resources. It has become more important to share data and tools and to discuss their use in the context of digital humanities. This year we strongly encourage the submission of proposals about methods, results, and problems of leveraging open data in the humanities. With this as our suggested central focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics. Abstract: 500-1000 words in length in English, including title. Please submit abstracts on the open conference system for conference below by May 8, 2018.
