Models for organizing a multi-participant project
by Zafrin, Vika 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Dear GO::DH, I'm consulting a faculty member at my U.S. institution who is in turn working with several cultural heritage and activist organizations in Colombia. They have conceived a project that would enable several (not yet in existence) web archives to be browsed together. They're asking about interoperability (before they build things, doing it right!) but also seeking existing models for wrangling many players, generally small organizations and local universities. They'd like to get the project off the ground with agreement on a common vision and everyone's extent of participation, while respecting local autonomy. Do you know of existing models they/we might look at, for the organizational part? There are many other questions, including who will drive this thing and how it will be funded, and we'll address those here, but first they're looking for best practices regarding how to organize. I know this is a big question, but if you know of an organizational collective of this kind that is working effectively, I'd appreciate a pointer. Many thanks, -Vika -- Dr. Vika Zafrin Digital Scholarship Librarian Boston University +1 617.358.6370 | bu.edu/disc she/her/hers

Call for Proposals Open for Global Digital Humanities Symposium - Deadline Nov 1

Global Digital Humanities Symposium March 26-27, 2020 Michigan State University msuglobaldh.org 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: * 5-minute lightning talk * 15-minute presentation * 90-minute workshop * 90-minute panel * Poster presentation * There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute virtual presentations Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal. Submit a proposal here<http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/> Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 9, 2019 Kristen Mapes Assistant Director of Digital Humanities, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308 East Lansing MI 48824 517-884-1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu | @kmapesy she/her/hers
