New Executive Roles and other matters
by Barbara Bordalejo 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Dear all, Last week we had a meeting with the new GO::DH executive. We decided that Brian Rosemblum will serve as vice-chair, Marisol Fila as secretary, Amy Earhart as webmaster and Rahul Gairola is going to be in charge of our social media presence. I was asked to serve as chair and accepted. We still don't have a complete executive committee which, according to our bylaws, should have eight members, so we will be calling for another election in the next few days. If you can, think of nominating yourself. This group needs all hands on deck right now. I want to bring to your attention the current discussions about the new ADHO governance model. As it is, several of the possible scenarios would not allow the Special Interest Groups (of which GO::DH is one) a vote. The argument is that if the SIGs had a vote, some people would be doubly represented. GO::DH differs from other SIGs in that most of our members are not part of formal associations already represented within the ADHO structures which is why, for some time, we have been exploring the possibility of a different type of relationship with ADHO. I think it is time to reopen those conversations. I would like a couple of volunteers from the general membership to help with this matter. Please contact me or any member of the executive off list if you are interested in contributing to this. I would like to thank Amy and Tunde for their help and support, all new and former members of the executive, and everyone on this list. You are GO::DH; let’s continue to do great work together. BB

Call for Proposals: Digital Modern Languages tutorial writing sprint
by Spence, Paul 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Siento no traducir esto, pero se trata de una iniciativa para crear recursos educativos para fomentar el estudio o investigación de lenguas modernas con métodos digitales. En realidad, tiene un enfoque anglófono por el perfil del proyecto, pero conecta con debates sobre la diversidad lingüística en general. Si alguien tiene interés en conectarlo con debates sobre fomentación de lenguas extranjeras desde perspectivas no-anglófonas, yo estaría encantado de hablarlo. P --- This may interest people working with modern (foreign) languages (and their cultures) or multilingual approaches to DH. CALL FOR PROPOSALS Call for Proposals for a Digital Modern Languages tutorial writing sprint in July 2019 King's College London Deadline for proposals: March 10th, 2019 EVENT DESCRIPTION The Digital Modern Languages tutorial writing sprint is a physical and virtual event designed to create a variety of open educational resources demonstrating the critical and applied use of digital tools and methods for teachers, learners and researchers interested in modern languages and cultures. This initiative is led by the 'Digital Mediations' strand on the Language Acts & Worldmaking project https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/, which explores interactions and tensions between digital culture and Modern Languages (ML) research. The project is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) under its Open World Research Initiative (OWRI). AIMS The DML tutorial writing sprint aims to: * Produce a set of learning resources which will improve critical digital literacies in ML learning and research * Facilitate greater engagement between digital practitioners and ML educators/researchers * Provoke discussion about possible connections between digital literacies at secondary and HE levels and beyond * Foster greater connection between ML and heritage/community language learning modes * Provide students and researchers with new modes of engagement with ML content and research * Contribute to greater awareness of the importance of Modern Languages learning and research OUTCOMES This initiative will lead to the production of a series of self-learning online tutorials on how to use digital tools & methods critically in researching or learning about ML languages and cultures. The outcome will be an edited collection of tutorials, providing a snapshot of digital methods for modern languages. The tutorials will be approximately 4,000 words in length, and be written in approachable, non-expert language with clear examples. INSPIRATION We take as inspiration education models such as The Programming Historian (https://programminghistorian.org/) and learning resources such as the O'Reilly book series, or For Dummies series. PROPOSALS We welcome proposals for Tutorials ('how to' use a particular digital method or tool) which address either educational or research challenges in the Modern Languages and Cultures, including both: * Language learning and * Learning and research about ML cultures This may involve either established or emerging areas within the field of Modern Languages and beyond, including (but not limited to): language pedagogy, digital arts, translation, linguistics, digital sociolinguistic and digital cultural studies, including ethnographic and discourse analysis approaches. Tutorials would need to respond to identifiable needs within ML learning and research (at any educational level). Each proposal should state: * Name(s) of applicant(s) * For multiple author applications, the author order * Language(s) of proposal * Languages studied/researched * A summary of the tutorial itself, explaining its aims its general structure its focus * Education or research * Level - primary, secondary, HE * Expected level of progression (making clear the entry-level and expected advancement in knowledge) * A list of the digital methods used * A list of the digital tools used * If the methods/tools are open source or not * Whether they apply to specific languages, or language families * Whether or not proposers will commit to translating the tutorial into any other languages (if successful) * And to give confirmation that the proposers commit to providing a finished tutorial by the stated deadline and that they give permission for it to be published as an Open Educational Resource * Information about the applicants, and the skills they will bring to the tutorial Where appropriate, tutorials may wish to provide test content (data) which learners can use as they do the tutorials and which they can then use for their own independent research/learning. Proposers may also re-purpose existing tutorial/teaching materials, although they should make clear where this is the case and confirm that there are no restrictions in re-use. Applicants do not need to have academic posts or to have formal modern languages roles - we welcome proposals from both within and beyond established modern language learning/research institutions (including, but not limited to, schools, Higher Education, arts/cultural sector, digital practitioners and private sector). EXAMPLES To give a sense of the range of tutorials we are looking for, here are some possible examples: * Using a digital storytelling tool to facilitate secondary school language learning * Using web archives to study the Latin American communities in London * Mapping colonial history in Brazil digitally * Exploring geospatial representations of a French novel * Game-based approaches to language learning at school * Applying network analysis to golden age Spanish texts * Digital publishing approaches to Chinese texts * Examining digital peripheries in ML research * Exploring linguistic and geographic markers for digital identity creation in social media * Exploring translation pedagogy in Open Translation platforms LANGUAGES As we are launching this experimentally for the first time, we ask for proposals to be submitted in English but we encourage people to translate tutorials if the tutorial is accepted for publication. DEADLINES * Tutorial proposals must be submitted via the Form (see below) by 10 March 2019. * Proposers will receive notification of the outcome in early April 2019 * The tutorial writing sprint will take place 4 and 5 July 2019 * The deadline for final submission of tutorials is 1 September 2019 * Tutorials will be published in autumn 2019 BURSARIES There will be limited bursaries (up to £200) to help contribute to travel and accommodation costs. For multi-author proposals, each tutorial will normally only be eligible for one bursary. Lunch and dinner will be provided by the organisers. Bursaries requests should be made at time of application, and bursaries will be targeted in particular at early career researchers and people travelling from a distance. Priority will be given to those who cannot claim travel bursaries from other sources. VENUE AND DATES The event will take place in Central London on 4th and 5th July 2019 PHYSICAL/VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE The event will consist of: * a physical event over two days at King's College London * a virtual event, with participants remotely connecting to the physical event The physical event will include a mixture of seminars, writing, demonstrations and peer review. The virtual event will take place in parallel to the physical event, with feedback provided to and from virtual participants at periodic intervals during the event. We expect to select 8-10 proposals for the physical event, and a similar number for the virtual event. TUTORIAL WRITING SUPPORT The event will start with a seminar by people experienced in writing digital tutorials, and support will be provided to tutorial developers throughout the event and for a limited period afterwards. PEER REVIEW All tutorials will be peer-reviewed (by a review panel appointed by the project) - both at proposal stage and prior to publication - from the following perspectives: * Modern Languages review - does this make a useful contribution to ML education or research practice? * Digital review - does this engage with digital tools for ML in new and interesting ways? Is it sustainable and globally focused? * Educational balance - we will look at achieving balance across educational levels (primary, secondary and higher education) for the group of accepted tutorials as a whole * Linguistic balance - we will look at achieving balance across languages, and between European and non-European languages, for the group of accepted tutorials as a whole. * Technical criteria - do the tutorials assume a particular platform, ecosystem, device or technical setup? If so, this will need to be fully justified (e.g. on the basis of available infrastructure). In general, we will favour tutorials based on multi-platform/open access/source software unless there is a very clear pedagogical rationale. We will also favour tutorials based on stable resources rather than alpha (or even beta) tools * Variation in level - most tutorials will have a low barrier of entry ('novice-friendly'), although we also encourage tutorials requiring some confidence with computational techniques Both single and multiple author applications are welcome. During the initial peer review stage, we may exceptionally invite/commission additional proposals in order to meet these criteria. We expect most tutorials are likely to be approximately 4,000 words in length. If you expect the length of your tutorial to be vastly different from that, please let us know at application stage. PUBLICATION Tutorials, data and (where appropriate) tools will be published as an edited collection of Open Educational Resources on the Language Acts & Worldmaking website and on an Open Educational Resource (OER) platform for deposit/long-term sustainability. ADVISORY GROUP This initiative is supported by the following advisory group: * Adam Crymble, University of Hertfordshire * Tori Holmes, Queen's University Belfast * Lucy Jenkins, University of Cardiff * Orhan Elmaz, University of St Andrews * Elina Vilar, Queen Mary, University of London * Naomi Wells, School of Advanced Study FURTHER INFORMATION Further information is available on the project website at https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/event/writing-sprint/ APPLICATION FORM The application form is available at the bottom of the online version of the Call for Proposals: https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/event/writing-sprint/call-propo… CONTACT For any queries, contact Paul Spence at paul.spence(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:paul.spence@kcl.ac.uk> Best wishes Paul Spence and Renata Brandao ------------ Paul Spence Senior Lecturer, Department of Digital Humanities King's College London | Strand | London | WC2R 2LS Programme Convenor - MA in Digital Humanities Co-Investigator - Language Acts & Worldmaking project https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flanguage…> About: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/person.aspx?id=86f6979a-0322-46d3-996b-77323ee… Twitter: @dhpaulspence Recent publications: - 'The academic book and its digital dilemmas', Convergence, vol. 24, no. 5, pp. 458-476.

Through the Lens of Data: The Enslaved Community Owned and Sold by the Maryland Province Jesuits with Sharon Leon
by luctsdh 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

** Through the Lens of Data: The Enslaved Community Owned and Sold by the Maryland Province Jesuits with Sharon Leon (Michigan State University) ------------------------------------------------------------ Fri. 2/22, 2:00 PM | McCormick Lounge In 1838 Thomas Mulledy, S.J. signed his name to an agreement selling the 275 enslaved persons who resided on Jesuit-owned estates in Southern Maryland to Louisiana. The sale served as the culmination of the Maryland Province of the Society of Jesus's fraught experience with slaveholding in the colonial and early national period. While much historical work has been written on Jesuit slaveholding, that writing has primarily focused on the implications for the religious community and the moral universe in which these men made their decisions about slavery. Thus far, however, no scholar has studied the enslaved people themselves. In the Jesuit Plantation Project /jesuitplantationproject.org > Sharon Leon focuses on the lives and experiences of the enslaved, rather than on their Jesuit owners. Focusing on the enslaved community itself makes this project ideally suited for digital methods. With an eye to the events and relationships that formed the warp and woof of the daily lives of this enslaved community, Leon has worked to identify more than 1,000 individual enslaved people present in the documentary evidence between roughly 1740 and 1840, and to situate them within their families and larger community. In processing and representing this archival research, the project employs linked open data and an array of techniques to visualize the entire community of enslaved people and their relationships to one another across space and time. These approaches allow for a focus on the distinct individuality of each enslaved person and for the capacity to pull back to grasp the community in aggregate, noting trends and changes in their experiences and relationships during their time in Maryland. This presentation will explore the landscape of labor and economic transactions that governed the lives of the enslaved community during the course of their lives in Southern Maryland.?
