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

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

CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION
Now in its ninth year, the Digital Humanities Forum brings together faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students from the University of Kansas and beyond to celebrate and explore digital scholarship as a diverse and growing field of humanist inquiry. The Forum encourages participation (as presenters or attendees) by scholars at any stage in their careers, including undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and faculty scholars; from gallery, library, archives, and museum professionals; as well as from those engaged in scholarship outside the university.
This year, the theme of the Forum is: *Bodies, Justice, Futures.* With this theme, the Digital Humanities Forum hopes to inspire presenters to think about the ways in which we envision and build towards just futures for individual and collective bodies from around the globe. By evoking the human body, we ask presenters to foreground humanistic inquiries of digital culture and technology, to trace continuities between historical realities and present socio-political conditions, and/or take up issues related to marginalized and invisible lived experiences.
In addition to the three keynote talks listed above, highlights of this year's Forum include:
* Six panel sessions addressing the topics of Borderland Identities in the Future of Digital Cultures; Mobility, Migration, and Community; Archival Justice: Gender, Sexuality, and Technology; Surveillance Technologies and Bias; and Race: Image and Sound, Bodies and Motion;
* A Digital Showcase highlighting a dozen interactive digital projects, installations, video games, performances, and film/video screenings;
* Best Undergraduate Paper and Best Graduate Student Paper awards;
* A pre-Forum workshop on "Digital Literacy and Community Engagement: Building a Public Humanities Praxis";
* A post-Forum, full-day workshop at the Lawrence Public Library exploring the limitations of artificial intelligence and the future of algorithmic governance;
* A reception at the Spencer Museum of Art, in conjunction with the Fall 2019 exhibition knowledges - https://www.spencerart.ku.edu/exhibition/knowledges
* Registration is FREE and includes lunches and coffee during the Forum.
We hope you will join us for several stimulating days of interdisciplinary conversing, sharing, tinkering and learning, with a focus on public, critical digital humanities.

Dear all,
We are continuing our efforts to disseminate the work we do not only open
access with Creative Commons licenses but also in other languages than
English.
*P**arables of Care. Creative Responses to Dementia Care, As Told by Carers* is
a research-based comic book originally published in English in October 2017.
In January 2019 we released a German version
<https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/2019/01/24/parabeln-der-flege-parab…>,
*Parabeln der Pflege. Kreative Reaktionen in der Demenzpflege, von
Pflegenden erzählt, *translated by Dr Andrea Hacker.
We are now pleased to announce that the Spanish version of *Parables of
Care* is now available as an open access PDF via City Research Online:
Priego, E., Grennan, S., Sperandio, C. and Wilkins, P. (2019). *Relatos de
cuidado. Respuestas creativas al cuidado de la demencia. *London: City,
University of London. ISBN 978-1-5272-4314-9.
http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/22595/.
A printed edition will be freely available, distributed internationally to
a network of senior health care institutions and libraries and will be
officially launched in Mexico at CELEX UAM <http://lenguas.azc.uam.mx/>
Azcapotzalco, México on 6th September 2019.
The announcement on our blog for this release is at

Downloading the file and sharing the link goes a long way to gradually
increase the visibility of research outputs in other languages. Your
support will be kindly appreciated- if you have ever witnessed the effects
of dementia you will know how important is to share information about it.

This year, the fourth since the SIG’s establishment, please join us to reflect on our accomplishments and work together to form a vision and mission for the future. At this meeting we will engage with the feedback collected in the survey with the IFLA community. We will assess the SIG’s current organizational structure and have a discussion about the future direction of the SIG, whose review with the IFLA headquarters will take place in 2021. We will also explore such questions as: What are the next goals of the SIG? What are our priorities? What are the main themes for the next 2-3 years of conference planning? How do we remain relevant and aligned with IFLA’s strategic direction? Do we want to become a formal section, and why?
Please complete the survey above and consider joining us for this lively session. Your participation is important to the future of the DH/DS SIG.
