GO::DH meeting at DH 2019 (and virtually)
by Quinn Dombrowski 29 Jun '19

29 Jun '19

Global Outlook:: Digital Humanities invites all DH 2019 participants who are interested in DH in the Global South and in languages beyond English to attend the GO::DH meeting on Thursday during lunchtime at Drift 25, room 201. We will be discussing numerous new initiatives with opportunities for the community to get involved, including a series of articles in (Digital Studies/ Le champ numérique), and revisiting "Around DH" and the 2012 DH infographic in 2020. We'll also discuss the current state of our conversations with ADHO about the possibility of becoming a Constitutent Organization with voting privileges, rather than a Special Interest Group. If you won't be at DH or can't make it to the meeting, we'll be live-tweeting the meeting from @globaloutlookdh and posting live notes; check the Global Outlook DH website (http://www.globaloutlookdh.org<http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/>/) on July 11th for the link to the notes. Please let us know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you there in person or virtually. All the best, Quinn Dombrowski, for the GO::DH exec

This recent post on Scholarly Kitchen<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…> places FSCI in the context of the existing training opportunities within Scholarly Communication, showing that FSCI enables and serves those that are done asking why, and are now asking how we move towards an Open Knowledge culture together. FSCI2019<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…> offers participants 5 immersive days of training and skills development in new modes of research communication. All levels of participants, from beginners to advanced, will find courses of interest. There are 27 Courses<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…> to choose from (check out the Course Abstracts<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…>), with topics designed to appeal across disciplines. We also have an exciting agenda of plenary events<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…> (see list below), and Speakers and Instructors<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…> are coming from 6 continents, including experts in scholarly communication from many communities of practice. The diversity of perspectives provided by the instructors and attendees is one of FSCI’s key strengths, allowing for comprehensive exploration of the issues in class and beyond. We hope you’ll add your voice to the conversation, and broaden your perspective on the evolving world of scholarly communication! PLENARY EVENTS Monday, August 5 9:00 am - 9:30 am - Welcome Introduction - Palisades Ballroom Welcome Speakers: * Ginny Steel, Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian, UCLA * Joe Bristow, Distinguished Professor of English and Chair of the Academic Senate, UCLA First thing on Monday morning we will all meet to kick off the Institute. Expect a short introduction, basic logistics information, run over the week's schedule and a brief overview of the courses. 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm - Lightning Talks - Palisades Ballroom Chair/Moderator: Daniel S. Katz, Assistant Director for Scientific Software and Applications NCSA, University of Illinois This session will consist of reviewed 5-minute talks by FSCI participants. These short talks are meant to present something the speaker is passionate about, related to scholarly communications. Talks may be about new technology that might change our lives or vanish without a trace, tell us about a policy that has made a difference somewhere, rants about how the scholarly communications world should be, and other topics. The talks will inspire us to think and to discuss things that make an impact on scholarly communications. Tuesday, August 6 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Do-a-Thon - Palisades Ballroom Chair/Moderator: Steve Diggs, Technical Director, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD Building off the concept of a hackathon, a do-a-thon is a work-sprint where people from different skill sets work together and collaborate on different challenges and projects. Sign up forms will be posted on the website in early July. Wednesday, August 7 8:30 am - 12:00 pm - Plenary Session Panel - What if Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society had never existed? Learning from the successes beyond the North Atlantic - Palisades Ballroom * Gimena Del Rio Riande (Moderator), Researcher, Investigadora Adjunta CONICET in Argentina * Dan O’Donnell, Professor of English, University of Lethbridge Speakers from around the globe will be presenting in this centerpiece plenary session Much of today’s debate around open access and scholarly communication in Northern America and Europe centers around how well plans developed in one part of this “North Atlantic” region might work in another, or, usually as an afterthought, in the “Global South”. In this session we want to turn this on its head. What would scholarly communication be like if our origin myth did not start in the UK’s Royal Society in London in 1665? Let’s imagine a world where Phil Trans never existed and we instead had developed our systems from the ideas underpinning the success stories of scholarly communications infrastructures and systems from Latin America, Asia and Africa, from beyond the English-speaking world, and from communities not traditionally considered as “scholarly”. Thursday, August 8, 2019 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm - “Moving the Needle” Roundtable - Palisades Ballroom Speakers: * Ginny Steel, Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian, UCLA * Alison Scott, Associate University Librarian for Collections and Scholarly Communication, UCLA * Tom Olijhoek, Molecular Biology Researcher, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) * Cameron Neylon, Professor of Research Communication, Curtin University Engage in a discussion with a panel pulled together to discuss some of the highest-level recent developments to “move the needle” towards open research and publishing. Virginia Steel, The UCLA Norman and Armena Powell University Librarian, and Alison Scott, the Associate University Librarian for Collections and Scholarly Communication, will discuss the University of California’s negotiations with Elsevier to secure a read and publish contract; Tom Olijhoek will discuss the European Union’s “Plan S” which requires state-funded research output to be Open by 2020; and Cameron Neylon will discuss recent results evaluating how universities are implementing Open Access globally. Who is doing this well? What is driving change, and in what direction? What will these changes mean for the scholarly communication ecosystem? Come with questions and opinions, and join the discussion. 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm - Battledecks: PowerPoint Karaoke - Palisades Ballroom Chair/Moderator - Nicky Agate, Assistant Director of Scholarly Communication and Digital Projects, Columbia University You will not want to miss this night!! Everyone is invited to take part in Battledecks (a.k.a. PowerPoint karaoke). How are your improv skills? Ready to perform in front of a live audience? Each contestant will be given 3-5 minutes to present ten slides on a surprise topic, with the goal of telling a coherent story while (a) entertaining the audience and (b) keeping a straight face. Link to upload your slide decks will be posted in May. Friday, August 9, 2019 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Birds of Feather Topic tables - DeNeve Cafeteria Private Room Co-Chairs: * Anna Oates, Scholarly Communication and Discovery Services Librarian, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis * Dan O’Donnell, Professor of English, University of Lethbridge Join your colleagues in the De Neve cafeteria to discuss School Comm topics in an informal setting. You'll be able to network and exchange ideas, insights, and experiences.

Or you may add to the list that will be posted here June 17. 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm - Keynote: Would including open scholarship in tenure guidelines move the needle? Speaker: Juan Pablo Alperin<https://force11.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e2d2ee75f2d3afd1d39a666d…>, Assistant Professor in Publishing and Co-Director of the Scholarly Communications Lab Despite all the arguments and evidence in favor of open scholarship, years of advocacy, tool building, mandates, and policies, less than half of the research that is published is publicly available. But what if we could magically add open scholarship practices as a valued activity in every salary review and tenure guideline document? Would such an explicit valuation of open scholarship for academic career advancement serve to move the needle? This presentation will challenge commonly held notions of the barriers to change through evidence from the analysis of hundreds of salary review and tenure guideline documents from universities in the United States and Canada, and from results of a survey of faculty from the same universities. This empirical exploration of what we say we value in academic careers, how we say it, and what we think our peers value may confirm your belief that review, promotion, and tenure processes affect the adoption of open scholarship practices—but it just won't be in the way you think they do.

Digital Modern Languages mailing list and seminar (25 June 2019)
by Spence, Paul 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

*With apologies for cross-posting* We are delighted to announce the launch of a new mailing list called 'Digital Modern Languages' which is intended to provide a forum for research and teaching across Modern Languages which engages with digital culture, media and technologies. We hope it will allow for communication across different languages and language-related disciplines, with a primary focus on languages other than English. You can subscribe to the list here: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=DIGITALMODERNLANGUAGES We invite you to use the list to share announcements about your own events and initiatives, and hope it will provide the opportunity to share knowledge and experiences across the languages community. ---------- Second Digital Modern Languages seminar ----------- Following the successful launch of the Digital Modern Languages seminar series, we are also delighted to announce below the details of the next seminar on Tuesday 25 June, with Mandana Seyfeddinipur (Director of the SOAS World Languages Institute and Head of the Endangered Languages Archive). Tuesday 25 June 2019 - Mandana Seyfeddinipur (SOAS) - Two Sides of the Same Coin: Why the Digital is Blessing and Curse for Endangered Languages 6-8pm, Tuesday 25 June, Bush House Lecture Theatre 2, King's College London https://digitalmodernlanguages.wordpress.com/2019/05/14/tuesday-25-june-201… Abstract: Globalisation, urbanisation and climate change are affecting people's lives all over the world drastically. Languages are falling silent at an alarming rate because people migrate to cities and give up their languages for more prestigious major language promising social and economic mobility. Linguists estimate that half of the world's 7000 languages spoken today will be gone by the end of this century. And with these languages humanity's knowledge about our own history, the local knowledges about flora and fauna and medicine, about social systems and cosmologies. At the same time the advent of digital technology has allowed linguists all over the world to record these disappearing languages and to preserve them in digital archives around the world. But while the internet held the promise of democratising access to knowledge, it is also the demise for linguistic diversity as the knowledge represented is heavily skewed towards the knowledge of the usual subjects and is only accessible in English or Chinese. The youth who are the hope for the survival of small languages wants to participate in the modern world and for that their small languages are not effective. Revitalisation and maintenance interventions try to utilise digital tools, games and phone apps but also their effects are limited. A digital multilingual and linguistically diverse world is the desire but the reality of it is complicated. The seminar will be followed by a wine reception. The lecture theatre is located on the Fourth Floor of Bush House (R on the campus map). Please register in advance at: https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/events/event/19928 Paul Spence (King's College London) and Naomi Wells (Institute of Modern Languages Research) This series is part of the AHRC-funded Open World Research Initiative, and is supported by the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community and Language Acts and Worldmaking projects, and by the AHRC Leadership Fellow for Modern Languages (Janice Carruthers).
