Hi all, Here's a post by Paul Barrett which offers some thoughts on the (possible) role of the nation in DH. I hope you find it useful: http://dhpoco.org/blog/2014/01/20/where-is-the-nation-in-postcolonial-digit… My hellos from cold NYC, A.

Websites for following technology and the humanities outside of Europe, Canada, U.S.?
by Daniel O'Donnell 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi all, I've recently started trying to expand my daily reading (and tweeting) about education, the humanities, and technology in a more regular fashion. Currently, most things I check on a daily or weekly basis are focussed on Canada, the U.S., or Europe--in fact primarily the UK (NYTimes, Guardian, Washington Post, Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Education, Slate, Salon, the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, National Post, Economist). I've recently added Scidev.net and the Times of India to my daily scan. Does anybody have any other suggestions for useful news-sites to include in my daily or weekly read? I'm particularly interested in places that are good on news about higher education, technology, and the intersection of higher education, university research, and technology outside of Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. I can read and/or pick my way through a number of different European languages (Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian--with things getting worse as you move from left to right). At the same time, however, since part of my goal is to tweet these to an international audience, things with an English version will be particularly useful. (I'm trying to think of ways of sharing non-English language news internationally--perhaps through a Google Translate URL?) Any ideas or suggestions? Or criticism of the idea--I can see the emphasis on English being an issue of self-replicating biases. -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

M.A. Vacancies, University of Lethbridge
by Daniel O'Donnell 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi all, I am accepting applications from potential students for an M.A. in English (Digital Humanities) at the University of Lethbridge. I am particularly interested in students with interests in scholarly/scientific publishing, 3D visualisation, Digital Cultural Heritage, the Public Humanities, and digital Critical/Editorial studies. You can find out more about my research at my website: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/ The University of Lethbridge programme follows an apprenticeship model, where students apply to work with a specific supervisor and work very closely with him or her throughout their programme. The M.A. requires a minimum of 4 courses in addition to a 80-120 page thesis. In the case of Digital Humanities projects, alternatives to a paper thesis may be considered. Students registered at the University of Lethbridge are also eligible to take additional graduate courses at other Western Canadian Universities including the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, all of which have strong Digital Humanities programmes. The University has recently revamped its financial award system. The amount of funding available varies according to the student's Grade Point Average (GPA) or equivalent on admission: > Students with entrance GPAs of 3.3 and above, and subject to > departmental recommendation, will be > considered for two full SGS Graduate Assistantships per year, valued > at $3,600 each ($30 per hour for > 120 hours). All duties must be assigned and performed during the > semester in which the assistantship is > paid. All SGS Graduate Assistantships are subject to the tenets of the > GSA Collective Agreement. > Students with entrance GPAs of 3.5 and above, and subject to > departmental recommendation, will be > considered for an SGS Tuition Award, renewable for the > within-residency duration of the student’s > program. For international students the awards will be valued at > $13,000 per year and $4,000 per year > (during the period of continuation fees). For domestic students the > awards will be valued at $6,000 > per year and $2,000 per year (during the period of continuation fees). > Students may hold an SGS Tuition > Award concurrently with an SGS Graduate Assistantship. > Students with entrance GPAs of 3.7 and above, and subject to > departmental recommendation, will be > considered for an SGS Dean’s Scholarship. The scholarship is valued at > $10,000 per year, and is > renewable for the within-residency duration of the student’s program, > subject to terms and conditionsassociated with application for > external funding. Students may hold an SGS Dean’s Scholarship > concurrently with an SGS Tuition Award and an SGS Graduate Assistantship. In addition, I have access to several Research Assistantships for qualified students. The precise value of these are currently under review, but they were worth $7000 per year in 2012-2013. These are awarded on a competitive basis. The deadline for foreign (i.e. non-Canadian) applications is February 1, 2013. Students considering applying should contact me at daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca as soon as possible and consult the University of Lethbridge School of Graduate Studies website: http://www.uleth.ca/graduatestudies/ -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Fwd: [Humanist] 27.712 Digital Humanities Israel
by Alex Gil 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

[Apologies for cross-posting] FYI, in case you hadn't seen it. A new group has formed in Israel to promote digital humanities. Best, A. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Humanist Discussion Group <willard.mccarty(a)mccarty.org.uk> Date: Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 5:56 AM Subject: [Humanist] 27.712 Digital Humanities Israel To: humanist(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 27, No. 712. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:08:07 +0000 From: Sinai Rusinek <Sinair(a)vanleer.org.il> Subject: Digital Humanities Israel Dear all, Having been (somewhat enviously) following this list for quite some time now, I am delighted to finally make a happy announcement, introduce DHIsrael<http://www.thedigin.org/en/> to the members of this list, and tell you a little about our past and present activity. During 2013, a Digital Humanities initiative supported by seed money from the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, worked to expose the field to Israeli audiences and to connect the people interested in various aspects of DH with each other and with scholars from abroad. With additional sponsorship and help from the National Library, the School of Philosophy and Religions at the Hebrew University and the Science, Technology and Society department at Bar-Ilan university, we organized four events: a conference on Hebrew Manuscripts in the Digital Age< http://www.thedigin.org/2013/04/25/%D7%9B%D7%AA%D7%91-%D7%94%D7%99%D7%93-%D…> (in Hebrew), a workshop on Text and Textuality in the Digital Age< http://www.thedigin.org/workshop-program-text-and-textuality-in-the-digital…>, a conference and workshop titled "Scholarly use of Web archives - Studying Israeli Politics on the Web<http :// www.thedigin.org/scholarly-use-of-web-archives-studying-israeli-politics-on…>", and a workshop on the use of Computer Technology in the Study of Historical Networks<http://www.thedigin.org/historical_networks/>. The talks from the two latter events are in English and available online. A community of interest that started to form in these meetings grew quickly with the help of our Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/groups/DHIsrael/> and Meet-up< http://www.meetup.com/Digital-Humanities-Israel/events/155930622/> groups, and in the end of 2013 we established the DHIsrael association. Starting January 2014 DHIsrael holds a monthly event that will be dedicated to certain theme or subfield of the digital humanities, each taking place in a different location. In addition, the first THATcamp< http://haifa2014.thatcamp.org/> in the area, also named the Ben-Yehuda Hackathon<http://haifa2014.thatcamp.org/>, will take place next month in Haifa. As a DH community, we may be late bloomers, still devoid of funding sources and still struggling with the challenges of Right-to-Left scripts, but the near future looks promising for DH in Israel and around it. In the meantime, we will be happy to meet any Digital Humanists who happen to drop by - please contact us if you plan to be here!

SEMINAR « Digital Writing and Editorialisation » - "Annotation: Knowledge in the Margin" Jan. 16
by Fabrice Marcoux 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

The second session of the seminar "Digital Writing and Editorialisation" will take place on *Thursday, Jan 16, at* *11:30 AM, Eastern Time, at University of Montreal *(in room P-217 of Roger-Gaudry Building)[videoconference link-up with "salle Triangle" of Pompidou Center in Paris, 5:30 PM France time] *More information*: *http://seminaire.sens-public.org/spip.php?article30 <http://seminaire.sens-public.org/spip.php?article30>* The session will be retransmitted live on *http://www.polemictweet.com/ <http://www.polemictweet.com/>* Topic of the session: *Annotation: Knowledge in the Margin* An important feature of digital media is that it converges reading and writing within the same editorial system. The practice of annotation, in all its forms and media, is commonly seen on the Web. Essentially publishable, annotations enrich content and contribute to knowledge production. Since annotation is gaining more ground in the digital publishing circles , we ask whether it is in the process of becoming a privileged site of intellectual creation by enabling a paradigm shift in writing practices and knowledge exchange. *L’annotation, le savoir dans la marge * *Une particularité des supports numériques est de faire converger lecture et écriture dans un même dispositif éditorial. L’annotation, sous toutes ses formes et de tout type de média est ainsi devenue une pratique d’écriture courante sur le web. Publiable par essence, l’annotation participe de fait à l’enrichissement du contenu, et à la constitution des connaissances. Puisque l’annotation prend peu à peu une place centrale dans les pratiques éditoriales numériques, nous nous demanderons si l’annotation ne devient pas un lieu privilégié de création intellectuelle en constituant un changement de paradigme dans les pratiques d’écriture et d’échange de savoir. * *Guest presentators are* : - *Marc Jahjah*, Ph. D. Student at EHESS and Laval University (Quebec) in Humanities, Digital Culture and Literature. His site sobookonline.fr/ has a section about annotation... - *Ray Siemens*, Canada Research Chair in Humanities Computing and Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Victoria. - *Matteo Treleani**,* He joined the médialab and the project AIME (An Inquiry into Modes of Existence) as project manager at Sciences Po, Paris. The seminar is realised in collaboration by *La revue Sens Public*, the *Iri*, Université de Montréal and McGill University, supported by MSH Paris-Nord. It was created in 2009 in partnership with the laboratoire Invisu (INHA-CNRS). *Following session: Thursday, January 2014* See the whole program: *http://seminaire.sens-public.org/ <http://seminaire.sens-public.org/>* *Thanks for sharing the information !* An invitation by Marcello Vitali Rosati and Michael E. Sinatra, teachers at Université de Montréal, Nicolas Sauret from the *Iri* , Stefan Sinclair at McGill University and Carole Dely editor of *La revue Sens Publi**c*.
