Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, On behalf of the Global Outlook::DH group, I am reaching out to the global DH community with a call for translators. The group established the Translation Board<http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/translation-commons/> and runs various Translation Initiatives to make global digital humanities scholarship available to the broadest possible audience. We would like to expand the Translation Board to provide the website content and other messages in many different languages. The Global Outlook::DH Translation Board is a group of volunteers who translate the organization’s announcements, publications, and projects into languages other than English, and/or who translate scholarship written in other languages into English for dissemination through GO::DH. If you’d like to volunteer for the Translation Board, please fill out this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUAzqWAxyloz8Yi_BnrvUoPvhZ7qUvt6_…>. Best wishes, Urszula Pawlicka-Deger ----- Dr Urszula Pawlicka-Deger Marie Curie Research Fellow, King’s Digital Lab Virginia Woolf Building, King’s College London urszula.pawlicka-deger(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:urszula.pawlicka-deger@kcl.ac.uk> pawlickadeger.com<https://pawlickadeger.com> | dhinfra.org<https://dhinfra.org>

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues I'm happy to announce that we have just published our report on the Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop event which was held last year: https://zenodo.org/record/5743283<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fzenodo.or…> Subtitled 'A report on multilingualism in digital theory and practice', it summarises and analyses this virtual event which aimed to map the current state of multilingualism in digital theory and practice through, and across, languages and cultures. In recent years, various initiatives have aimed to address the challenges for digital linguistic diversity, including work on biocultural diversity, endangered languages, digital cultural studies, multilingual language technologies and global perspectives on digital humanities. This workshop aimed to strengthen connections between numerous overlapping digital and languages-driven conversations and initiatives. The report may interest those working on the following themes: 1. Linguistic and geocultural diversity in digital knowledge infrastructures 2. Working with multilingual methods and data 3. Transcultural and translingual approaches to digital study 4. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and NLP in language worlds The workshop was hosted by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.

Call for volunteers: ADHO Anti-racism Task Force
by ADHO Communications 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. ADHO seeks to draw in and draw on the global DH community, with its strong commitment to and advocacy for social justice. We seek to engage community expertise and desire for change to help ADHO take action on the intersecting concerns articulated in our statement on Black Lives Matter, Structural Racism, and Establishment Violence<https://adho.org/blm-structuralracism-establishmentviolence>. ADHO seeks the help of the Anti-structural-racism Task Force to develop a strategy that will: 1) reach every component of the organization, with a focus on the ways in which ADHO activities and policies affect individuals; 2) engage the wider DH community through a range of channels; 3) seek pathways to gathering both experiential narratives and measurable data to identify problems that can be targeted and addressed over time, iteratively; and 4) work towards the commitments to action made in the statement. The initial term of the Task Force will be two years, at which time, taking into account the recommendation of the Task Force, the ADHO COB will decide whether to extend its term (if Task Force members are willing) or take some other action such as converting it to a standing committee or disbanding it. We recognize that not all of the tasks will be undertaken by the Task Force; that some may be undertaken by the EB, the COB, or in collaboration with the COs; and that they cannot all be achieved within the 2-year time frame. Expressions of interest are due on 10 January 2022 to edi(a)adho.org<mailto:edi@adho.org>. The full call and explanation can be read here: https://adho.org/announcements/2021/call-volunteers-adho-anti-racism-task-f… --- Hannah L.

REMINDER: CFP for _Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities_ in the Debates in DH series
by Urszula Pawlicka-Deger 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, We are pleased to invite proposals for contributions to the Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities book we are editing for the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series <https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu> (University of Minnesota Press). (See our full, more detailed CFP<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-critical-infrastructure-studies-digi…>.) Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities aims to direct the attention of digital humanists to the wider area of infrastructure studies, and deploy perspectives gained from that wider infrastructuralism to better understand the infrastructures of DH. It will bring infrastructural approaches front and center as an area where DH is uniquely equipped to lead the humanities in thought and practice, using its own infrastructural legacy as inspiration and mirror. The aim is to understand how infrastructure underpins and influences DH, and how DH in turn can influence infrastructure design, development, and maintenance. The volume will promote understanding of critical infrastructure studies as a field of writing and practice, and open dialogues between DH and cognate infrastructural fields. Please consider contributing a work for Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities that might fit into one of the following three categories: 1. Critical Infrastructure Studies from the Perspective of DH: Argumentative essays (preferably in the range of 6,000 words) that explore issues and debates around historical or contemporary infrastructures, or infrastructuralism at large, but with attention to (or through the lens of) their digital platforms, technologies, data, media, and other features of interest to DH. 2. Digital Humanities from the Perspective of Critical Infrastructure Studies: Argumentative essays (preferably in the range of 6,000 words) that explore debates, histories, and theories of the infrastructures of DH itself, and of its institutions and practices, in ways that exceed a narrow disciplinary focus or a “this is my project” mode. Essays would ideally draw DH into wider vistas that will interest humanists in general or scholars in other fields. 3. (Re)Envisioning DH Infrastructure: Briefer textual or multimedia (e.g., digital arts, graphic novel, filmic, musical), interactive, data-modeled, documentary, creative, or other works that help envision or reenvision infrastructures and are represented by a critical statement. (Contributions for this category can include materials in digital form to be embedded or linked from the open-access, online version of the volume that will appear on the Manifold platform three months after the publication of the print book. But there must be a standalone critical statement for the print book.) To ensure that the volume includes diverse viewpoints, the editors encourage contributions from scholars, scholar-activists, practitioners, artists, designers, engineers, and others from different racial, ethnic, and indigenous backgrounds, from the LGBTQ community, from around the world, from different disciplines and kinds of institutions, and from those at all levels and stages in their profession. (Contributions must be in English, though translations in other languages provided by authors may be included in the post-print, open-access version of the volume.) A distinctive feature of Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities is that each essay or other contribution will include a brief “infrastructure manifest” that declares the principal infrastructures underlying its creation—e.g., natural resources, unceded indigenous land, and major platforms, networks, tools, and institutional or other structures providing sources, storage, processing and workflow (including writing, visualizing, communicating, and collaborating), and labor and expertise—along with any key ethical considerations. Please see the full CFP and timeline on the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series website: https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-critical-infrastructure-studies-digi… We invite proposals by December 15, 2021. Please submit 500-word abstracts and a short bio to ayliu(a)english.ucsb.edu<mailto:ayliu@english.ucsb.edu>, urszula.pawlicka-deger(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:urszula.pawlicka-deger@kcl.ac.uk>, and james.smithies(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:james.smithies@kcl.ac.uk>.

Special Issue CFP (First Monday): Critical intersections of disability + info studies
by Crystal Lee 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues, Do you have a piece on information access and the digital world? Databases, algorithms, interface design and the construction of standard bodies? I might have a CFP for you! I’m currently co-editing a special issue that sits at the intersection of disability and information studies and I’d love to hear from you. You can find the CFP here<http://disabilityarchiveslab.com/call-for-abstracts-for-special-issue/> and copied below. Feel free to forward widely. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Thanks, Crystal ************************************ Special Issue of First Monday: This Feature Has Been Disabled: Critical intersections of disability and information studies Special issue editors: Gracen Brilmyer and Crystal Lee Submission form: This Feature Has Been Disabled CFP<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4NItn-evBrebB_QnsW_Rilnw498EttZm…> Key Dates: – Abstracts due: January 5, 2022 – Invitations to submit full papers: January 15, 2022 – Full papers due: May 15, 2022 – Estimated publication: January 2023 Within the context of information studies—a broad field which spans archives, libraries, and their histories to databases, algorithms, and interface design—disability is often framed as an issue for legal compliance rather than a topic of ongoing practice and scholarly interrogation. Yet, centering disabled people’s voices and leveraging critical disability studies as methodology within the construction of information systems can sharpen analyses of the design of information systems, algorithmic decision-making technologies, and their impacts on marginalized communities. Alternatively, information systems and technologies often mediate disabled people’s daily lives—from the assistive tech we use, the ways we connect through online communities and hybrid spaces, and the ways we research and understand our histories—thus granular attention to the ways in which such systems operate is likewise crucial. For a special issue of First Monday, a monthly peer-reviewed open access academic journal, we seek to address disability and information systems through their materiality, methods, representation, technological specificities, lived embodiments, pedagogies — the historical to contemporary. We aim to bring together dual perspectives from Disability Studies and Information Studies in order to foster nuanced conversations at this nexus. We aim to bring together thinkers from both fields — particularly those who are disabled themselves — to map critical histories and speculative futures for information science that are informed by critical discussions in disability justice and design justice. We explicitly ask for a range of contributions — first-person narratives, theoretical and practical scholarship, and case studies — that address the vast topics within the fields of Information Studies and Disability Studies, including interdisciplinary research, co-authored papers, and non-traditional scholarly articles. We are interested in work that attends to disability spanning all subdisciplines of information studies: the historical to the technological, analog to digital systems, individual craft practice to institutional analyses. How might centering disabled voices and disability studies frameworks as ways of knowing change the field of information studies? Similarly, how might nuanced attention to information systems change the ways we understand their interactions with disabled people and people from other marginalized and oppressed communities? To be considered for inclusion in this special issue, please send an extended abstract (300-500 words) plus a short bio (150-200 words) to this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4NItn-evBrebB_QnsW_Rilnw498EttZm…> by January 5, 2022. Authors with selected abstracts will be notified by January 15 and invited to submit their full paper drafts by May 15, 2022, and the submissions will be published pending peer review. We explicitly and intentionally invite authors who do not hold academic positions or specific academic degrees – particularly authors who are primarily advocates, activists, community organizers, programmers, and cultural workers – to submit abstracts. This special issue will foreground critical disability studies work and knowledge production that takes place both within and outside of the academy, and aims to center disabled people whose work may not be traditionally considered academic or scholarly. Along these lines, we encourage authors to cite both academic and non-academic sources from disabled people. We acknowledge how disabled knowledge outside of academia can get co-opted and used for academic capital so we implore prospective authors to cite critically and politically—thank you to our recent conversations with Liz Jackson & Alex Haagaard<https://twitter.com/elizejackson/status/1446844470327119875?s=21> on this. Possible themes of accepted papers might include (but are not limited to): * The violence of knowledge organization and the historical ties between ableism, racism, sexism, sanism, homophobia, fatphobia, classism, caste-based oppression, and colonialism in such classificatory systems * Crip hacking, tinkering, and inventing technological interventions for crip futures * Disabled people as tech workers, tech work as debilitating, and other issues around labor * Surveillance, biometrics, policing, and incarceration of “anomalous” bodyminds * Balancing information privacy, information access, and intellectual property regarding disability narratives * Digital colonialism and accessibility for Indigenous disabled archival users * Radical interventions to accessible interface design and collective access * Changing role of the library as community center, as laboratory, and as platform and the impacts on disabled patrons * Internet access and historical and ongoing injustice for disabled people * Information infrastructure and materiality as it impacts both disabled people and the environment * Teaching and use of adaptive technologies in libraries, and archives and museums * Academic ableism, information access, and crip time * Algorithmic impacts on disabled people of color * Artificial intelligence and the ways eugenic logics are encoded into machine learning systems * Crip relationships to apps, assistive technologies, or social media * Sign language gloves, smart glasses, social skills robots, stair-climbing wheelchairs, and other curative/therapized technologies (or disability dongles) built to “eliminate” or “solve the problem” of disability * The unique histories and ethnographies of speech-to-text and other technologies that began for disabled use and evolved into everyday products * Disabled approaches to linked data and community knowledge * Search and information retrieval for materials on disability * Tacit knowledge for multiply marginalized disabled people * Databases, metadata, and describing disabled identities within information systems * Information law and policy as it intersects with disability privacy and technology use * Medical forms, databases and medical triage * Health data and quantified self for wheelchair/cane/walker/mobility aid users * Structural barriers to immigration / asylum for disabled people via quantification within medical inadmissibility policies * Access-washing in marketing, development, and promotion of products, systems, and technologies that address inaccessibility while furthering eugenic, carceral, or colonial logics, policies, and practices (such as object and image recognition and facial recognition technologies) Contact Info: Gracen Brilmyer: gracen.brilmyer(a)mcgill.ca<https://mailto:gracen.brilmyer@mcgill.ca> Crystal Lee: crystall(a)mit.edu<https://mailto:crystall@mit.edu> -- Crystal Lee (she/her) Massachusetts Institute of Technology twitter<https://www.twitter.com/crystaljjlee> / website<http://web.mit.edu/crystall/www/> / zoom<https://brk.mn/crystal> Time zone: Eastern / UTC -5
