by Rosenblum, Brian 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Dear colleagues, This is a reminder that the nomination period for the two open GO::DH Executive Committee vacancies ends this Sunday, April 28. Please consider putting your name forward. More details below. Best wishes to all, Brian From: Rosenblum, Brian Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2019 2:11 PM To: A list for participants in the ADHO DH Global Outlook Community <globaloutlookdh-l(a)uleth.ca> Subject: GO::DH Executive Committee election - call for nominations Dear colleagues, The fall 2018 GO::DH Executive Committee elections resulted in the appointment of four new executive committee members: Barbara Bordalejo, Marisol Fila, Rahul Gairola, and Brian Rosenblum. With Amy Earhart and Tunde Opeibi graciously returning for another year of service we are still two vacancies away from having a full, eight-member Executive. We are now seeking at least two nominees for election and/or acclamation to the Committee. This will be for a two-year term of service beginning immediately after the election, from 2018-2020. All voting positions on the Committee are for two year terms that can be renewed three times. We begin with a two-week nomination period, which will close Sunday, April 28 at midnight in all time zones. After the nomination period closes, the election will be held by electronic ballot open to all subscribers to the list. The work of a GO::DH Executive Committee is not heavy, but it is important to our community and the support of an approach to DH that recognizes, supports, and encourages linguistic, regional, and other forms of diversity. Please consider nominating yourself (self-nominations are common and welcome) or somebody else in our community by emailing Brian Rosenblum at brianrosenblum(a)ku.edu<mailto:brianrosenblum@ku.edu>. All who wish to put their names forward will be warmly welcomed as candidates. In your email, please include the following information: * The name of the nominee * Preferred email address of the nominee (if you are nominating somebody other than yourself, please be sure to cc your nominee on the email so that we know they are willing to stand and that we know we have a working email address for them). * An optional brief candidate statement (<250 words). This can be anything you wish: a bio; an explanation of your aims for the position; political planks. This statement will be published to the GO::DH website. GO::DH has done great work in our field, but it depends on the efforts of those willing to volunteer. GO::DH is all of us! I hope you will consider putting your name forward.

Registration will open August 1st, 2019. Submission Deadline: May 20th, 2019 at 11:59pm. Conference Description Now in its ninth year, the Digital Humanities Forum brings together faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students from the University of Kansas and beyond to celebrate and explore digital scholarship as a diverse and growing field of humanist inquiry. This year, the theme of the Forum is: Bodies, Justice, Futures. With this theme, the Digital Humanities Forum hopes to inspire presenters to think about the ways in which we envision and build towards just futures for individual and collective bodies from around the globe. By evoking the human body, we ask presenters to foreground humanistic inquiries of digital culture and technology, to trace continuities between historical realities and present socio-political conditions, and/or take up issues related to marginalized and invisible lived experiences. Suggested topics related to our theme's keywords are listed below. Bodies: wearables and biotechnologies; cognition and neuro-aesthetics of art and literature; machine learning, artificial life, Turing bots, and robotics; datafication of human bodies and experiences; literary bodies: texts, archives, collections; the human in the (digital) archive; embodiment and affect in digital culture; critical issues of identity (race, gender, sexuality, indigeneity, etc) in digital culture; digital materiality. Justice: precarious and emotional labor in the digital humanities; ethics and politics of algorithms and digital platforms; data justice; eco-critical approaches to digital technologies and cultures; digital humanities in the global south; surveillance and privacy; democratization of science, technology, access, and knowledge production; citizen technology and citizen labs; race, space, and place in the digital. Futures: emerging technologies and data economies; speculative futures and critical making; participatory, critical, and speculative design; architectures of necessity; minimal computing; IT governance and cybersecurity; hackerspaces, fabrication, and DIY/repair culture; open technology and hardware; video games and the utopian/dystopian; Afrofuturism and the digital; pirate libraries and peer-to-peer networks; participatory, experimental, and/or anticipatory digital pedagogy. Forum organizers welcome proposals that explore connections in and between these themes and that suggest new approaches to digital scholarship. We encourage proposals from scholars at any stage in their careers, including undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty scholars; from gallery, library, archives, and museum professionals; as well as from those engaged in scholarship outside the university. Presentation Types We welcome and encourage proposals for a wide range of traditional and non-traditional conference formats, including workshops, panels, papers, roundtables, interviews, debates, pecha kucha presentations, posters, games (anything from a life-size board game to a videogame to critical jeopardy), art installations, data visualizations, short film screenings, and music, dance, and theatre performances. We will also consider remote presentations via video-conference for those who are unable to travel to Lawrence. Proposal Submission Proposals should be submitted via the webform at https://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2019/submit and include a complete form and project description of 500 words maximum. Please note Forum organizers may request an alternative presentation format or collaboration between related proposals. The deadline for proposal submission is May 20th, 2019 at 11:59pm. Student Presentation Award Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to submit proposals for presentations. One student presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality, originality, and clarity of the proposal, along with its alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. Students who wish to be considered for this award will be guided to submit an impact statement of 250 words in the online submission form. The awardee will be presented with a check for $500 and award certificate at the conference.
