On October 17-18, please join the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture at Duke University to reflect on contributions of art historians and visual culture scholars to the spatial digital humanities at Centering Art History & Visual Culture in the Digital Humanities: A Symposium Celebrating 10 Years of the Wired! Lab at Duke<https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/>.

Watch the livestream:
Thursday – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-Thurs
Friday Morning – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-FridayMorning
Friday Afternoon – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-FridayAfternoon
Over the past decade, the use of digital methods has exploded in the study of art history and visual culture. As with other areas of the digital humanities, art historians and visual culture scholars have used a very wide range of approaches. Still, increasingly, one of the core areas that art history and visual culture have particular focused on is the analysis of spatial problems through computational methods and digital visualization. This conference brings to the fore core contributions of art historians and visual culture scholars to the spatial digital humanities. Looking at objects and environments at a wide variety of scales, panelists will ask: What spatial and temporal cultural problems can be addressed with digital methods? Conversely, speakers will address how the art and visual culture extend and complicate developments within the digital humanities.
This conference is held in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture here at Duke University. The Wired! Lab is itself a center of major research involving the study of objects, buildings, and urban environments at a variety of different scales and with diverse computational methods. We are pleased to host this dialogue on how spatial problems in art history and visual culture contribute to important developments within the digital humanities.

Dear GO:DH community,
We are looking forward to an exciting fifth edition of the Global Digital Humanities Symposium (http://www.msuglobaldh.org/<https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.msuglobaldh.org/&sa=D&ust=157075256…>) on March 26-27, 2020. We conduct a double-blind review process and are looking to expand participation of reviewers this year.
The review process is relatively lightweight: Each reviewer receives not more than 6 proposals, and the reviewer reads the proposals and emails a ranking, ranging from Reject to Strong Accept, along with a sentence or two explaining why.
Review assignments will be sent out on November 5, with reviews will be due on December 3.
We welcome new reviewers and appreciate the labor that goes into making this event happen and the community that has grown around it, which is in no small part due to the high quality of presentations over the years. Please email me with any questions or concerns about the review process.
Express your interest in reviewing by filling out the form here<https://forms.gle/1fN7ASHJ1QeCunRY9>.
Please note that the deadline to express interest in reviewing is October 31, 2019.
Thanks,
Kristen

Global Digital Humanities Symposium
March 26-27, 2020

Call for Proposals
Deadline: November 1
Proposal form<http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>
Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH (msuglobaldh.org<http://www.msuglobaldh.org/>) into its fifth year, on March 26-27, 2020. 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. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of MSU's Cultural Heritage Informatics Program<http://chi.anthropology.msu.edu/>, we particularly encourage proposals along that theme, but as always we strive to showcase DH work in all its forms.
Alongside the expansion of digital humanities 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. This symposium is 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.
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.
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 Friday, November 1, midnight in your timezone:
* Critical cultural studies and analytics
* Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western
* 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
* How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work
* Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital humanities community
* 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
* 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
* Productive failure
Presentation Formats:
