Dear colleagues,
We are excited to share our finalised programme for the online symposium on Legal Issues in Textual Scholarship<https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home> that will take place at the end of this month (27 October 2023)! This event is free, but registration is required<https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home/registration> to obtain access to the event’s Zoom link. Please register before 22 October.
Through the practice of editing culturally and historically relevant documents, textual scholars are regularly faced with legal restrictions to their scholarly endeavours – including both copyright and non-copyright restrictions such as the privacy and moral rights of authors. In practice, these added difficulties and legal uncertainties cause funding agencies, libraries, and archives to prioritise the digitisation and publication of less legally problematic materials – which threatens to cause a bias in our output as a research field. In an effort to move forward as a research community, the European Society for Textual Scholarship<https://textualscholarship.eu/> (ESTS) is organising an online symposium on Legal Issues in Textual Scholarship to address these obstacles, and reflect on the legal restrictions that may affect textual scholarship in the analog and digital paradigms.
We will start the day by exposing some of the problems textual scholars are facing today when they work with copyrighted materials, establishing a legal framework for our discussion, and examining the impact generative AI may have on the field — now, and in the foreseeable future. After lunch, we will continue with a series of shorter papers by authors sharing their professional experiences dealing with copyright holders and their heirs, digitising cultural heritage materials in research and pedagogical contexts, and the use of born-digital source materials. Finally, we will end the day with reflections on the Copyright Act itself, and on how we may navigate these restrictions, and work within the legal boundaries that are set for us.
* For more information on the symposium, including short introductions for all speakers, and abstracts for their talks, please visit the event’s website<https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home>.
* To register for this event, please follow this link.<https://sites.google.com/view/estslegalissues/home/registration>
We hope to see you there!
All the best,
Wout Dillen and Elsa Pereira, Organizing Committee

Dear global digital humanities community,
As you likely have seen, the Call for Proposals for 2024 Global Digital Humanities Symposium<https://www.msuglobaldh.org/> has been released (virtual March 18-20 / in person March 22-23) and closes in a couple weeks. This year, we are accepting proposals primarily in English and Spanish.
The symposia of past years have been successful thanks to the generous contributions of our reviewers who have helped to shape engaging and wide-ranging scholarly programs. We’re hoping to expand our numbers this year, particularly with those who are readers of Spanish, and would love to have your participation. If you’re interested in reviewing, please fill out this brief form<https://forms.gle/2xLygKUhm957f2837> by Sunday, October 22, 2023.
As a reviewer, you would be assigned 4 to 6 proposals, each of which you’d be asked to evaluate in a short online form. We expect to send reviewers their assignments on October 25, 2023, and will ask for completed reviews by November 22, 2023. We will conduct an open review process this year. Names and institutional affiliations of submitters will be shared with reviewers, and names and affiliations of reviewers will be shared with submitters along with a comment on their submission. However, the process will also allow you to leave confidential comments that only the planning committee can see.
Thanks for your attention and if you have any questions, feel free to be in touch.
Thanks,
Kristen Mapes, on behalf of the Global DH Symposium Planning Committee

Winter Institute in Digital Humanities (WIDH) 2024 Registration Now Open!
The NYU Abu Dhabi Winter Institute in Digital Humanities<https://wp.nyu.edu/widh/widh-2024/> (WIDH) is returning to an in-person format on the NYUAD campus from January 16-18, 2024. The WIDH is an event aimed at researchers and educators interested in the intersection of technology and the arts and humanities. This year’s event features hands-on courses, a plenary discussion, a poster session as well as networking opportunities in the culturally vibrant capital of the UAE.
The WIDH focuses on both research and pedagogy from an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. The topics addressed in the courses vary from year to year. The courses share a common vision of how the digital has changed, and continues to change, the way that we learn, teach, do research and disseminate knowledge. Certain courses also address new responsibilities and horizons for the arts and humanities in an age of automation. This year’s WIDH features courses on Digital History, Exploring Technologies of Text, Archiving for Digital Fieldwork, Implementing Learner-Created Podcasts, and more.
Attendees will enroll in only one course for the duration of the Winter Institute. Most of the courses require no prior technical skills. Attendance in the Winter Institute is by application/registration only. A small number of fee-waiver spaces per course have been reserved for NYU affiliates without access to research funds (staff, students, post-docs, etc.) Places are very limited and courses will close once seats have been filled.
Course descriptions and registration information can be found here<https://wp.nyu.edu/widh/widh-2024/>. Please email nyuad.widh(a)nyu.edu<mailto:nyuad.widh@nyu.edu> with any questions.
