GO::DH Exec Committee election
by Rosenblum, Brian 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Dear colleagues, The two-week nomination period for the two vacant GO::DH Exec Committee positions has closed, and we have five nominees. Their biographies and statements are included at the end of this email, and can also be found on the GO::DH website<http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/2019-godh-executive-board-candidates/>. The election period will now begin and will remain open for two weeks, until Tuesday, May 14. All members of this list will receive an email shortly with further instructions and a link to the online ballot. If you do not receive anything in the next few minutes please check your spam folder. The email should say it is from Brian Rosenblum, but the sender is actually Qualtrics (noreply(a)qemailserver.com<mailto:noreply@qemailserver.com>). If you have any questions or difficulty accessing the ballot please email me. On behalf of the Executive Committee and all of GO::DH, I want to extend our sincere thanks to all five candidates. We all greatly appreciate your work and interest in global DH and your willingness to run and serve! --Brian Candidate Biographies and Statements Urszula Pawlicka-Deger I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Media at Aalto University, Finland and a member of Research Data Management (RDM) working group at Aalto. I was a Fulbright scholar in the Creative Media and Digital Culture at Washington State University Vancouver and a visiting researcher in the Department of English at Stony Brook University. Recently, I have been nominated the Willard McCarty Fellowship at the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London. My postdoctoral research lies at the intersection of digital humanities and infrastructure studies. I work on infrastructural changes in the humanities with a focus on the function and history of laboratory. In relation to this study, I am co-editing the “Digital Humanities Quarterly” special issue on the topic of situated research practices in digital humanities reflecting on different forms of situatedness: geographical, regional, cultural, and institutional. Besides, as a member of RDM group, I work on data management practices in the arts and humanities. I am currently involved in developing the Aalto database for artistic research. My contribution to GO::DH is to focus on open cultural data, open access, and the politics of knowledge transfer from a global perspective. I am interested in developing critical practices in discovering and reusing open data for cross-cultural research in digital humanities. To this end, I would bring the discussion on the dynamics of global open data infrastructure to GO:DH activities. (http://pawlickadeger.com/)<http://pawlickadeger.com/> === Quinn Dombrowski I am interested in serving on the GO::DH executive committee in order to support and increase the visibility of digital humanities research and pedagogy taking place worldwide, particularly in languages other than English. I currently work as the Academic Technology Specialist for the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages at Stanford University, supporting digital humanities work for all non-English languages except those from Classics and East Asian languages (though I also have projects with colleagues in the East Asian Library). My own background is in Slavic linguistics, and last quarter I taught a class on non-English textual DH where we worked with Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. I envision focusing on three areas: 1) sorting out GO::DH’s relationship with ADHO, given the change in that organization’s structure and relationship to SIGs. I have served on the ACH exec since 2015 and have been involved with ADHO in various ways (including infrastructure committee) since 2012. I’d like to apply that experience to finding an arrangement that gives GO::DH a voice in international-level DH decision-making. 2) working with the global DH community to refresh “Around DH in 80 Days” to highlight new developments in global DH in the past 5 years. 3) identifying tools, corpora, and collections that could be used as data, to support natural-language processing in non-English languages, including endangered languages and those with few existing resources. I’d like to cultivate collaborations that can apply methods like named-entity recognition or machine learning to ends such as decolonizing archives. === Simon Mahony I am Director of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities at University College London (UCL). I was part of the development of the highly successful and innovative graduate programme in Digital Humanities at the Department of Information Studies at UCL, working as Programme Director from its launch in 2011 until taking over as Centre Director in 2017. I have lectured and published widely on education and pedagogy in the field of Digital Humanities. I am chair of the UCL Open Education Special Interest Group and on the Project Management Team and Project Board for the UCL Open Educational Resources (OER) Repository. I am a supporter and strong advocate for all things open. For the last few years, with support from UCL’s Global Engagement Fund, I have been traveling extensively in China (six trips in 2018) to build networks with DH groups and research centres in Chinese institutions: notably at Shanghai, Beijing, Wuhan, Nanjing, Ningbo and Hangzhou. I have given talks and lectures there, run seminars and workshops with bi-lingual teaching materials released as OERs. I have participated in both ADHO and Chinese DH and library conferences. This has advanced my understanding of the essential need for increased diversity within our field of DH - something that I have presented on and published on both in the UK and China. It is important that we have conversations and establish collaborations and make efforts to bring East and West together to create a truly global Digital Humanities. === Paloma Vargas Montes Paloma Vargas Montes holds a PhD in History (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris) and in Hispanic Literature (University of Navarra). She is an assistant professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, where she teaches Medieval Spanish Literature and Spanish Golden Age Literature. Her research field is focused on the ethno history of the Mexican indigenous people by using textual criticism and book materiality approaches on the study of the primary sources. She is specialized in the ethno history of the Nahua people of the Valley of Mexico in the XVI century, and the Coahuilteco speakers, who lived in the Texan missions in the XVIII century. Paloma Vargas Montes directs a Master in Humanistic Studies, an online program of the Tecnologico de Monterrey and coordinates a Master in Digital Humanities, an online program which the Tecnologico de Monterrey will launch on January 2020. She is developing a research project of computational text analysis as an approach to study the Cronique X, a lost mesoamerican codex that is believed to be the basis used by the XVI century chroniclers Diego Durán and Fernando Alvarado Tezozomoc. === Adam Alberto Vázquez Cruz I am a doctoral student at the University of Saskatchewan. Before I came to Canada, I got my BA and MA degrees from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. My research focused on Spanish medieval literature. I decided to come to the University of Saskatchewan to learn about digital stemmatology and digital editing. My involvement with the Canterbury Tales Project has allowed me to pursue my research; I work with the text of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde. The goal of my research is to produce a stemma or stemmata that will inform the current scholarship around the edition of Troilus. I am interested in being a more active member GO::DH so that I can familiarize myself with the research that the members of the Digital Humanities community are producing. I want to engage with the ongoing debates that are relevant to the digital humanities. At the same time, I would like to support GO::DH with my work so that the goals of the community come to fruition. This presents as an excellent opportunity for me to advance my career, be an active part of an academic community that consistently produces exciting research and to find the colleagues that will help me guide my research through criticism and feedback

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. 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. Suggested topics related to our theme's keywords are listed below. Bodies: wearables and biotechnologies; cognition and neuro-aesthetics of art and literature; machine learning, artificial life, Turing bots, and robotics; datafication of human bodies and experiences; literary bodies: texts, archives, collections; the human in the (digital) archive; embodiment and affect in digital culture; critical issues of identity (race, gender, sexuality, indigeneity, etc) in digital culture; digital materiality. Justice: precarious and emotional labor in the digital humanities; ethics and politics of algorithms and digital platforms; data justice; eco-critical approaches to digital technologies and cultures; digital humanities in the global south; surveillance and privacy; democratization of science, technology, access, and knowledge production; citizen technology and citizen labs; race, space, and place in the digital. Futures: emerging technologies and data economies; speculative futures and critical making; participatory, critical, and speculative design; architectures of necessity; minimal computing; IT governance and cybersecurity; hackerspaces, fabrication, and DIY/repair culture; open technology and hardware; video games and the utopian/dystopian; Afrofuturism and the digital; pirate libraries and peer-to-peer networks; participatory, experimental, and/or anticipatory digital pedagogy. Forum organizers welcome proposals that explore connections in and between these themes and that suggest new approaches to digital scholarship. We encourage proposals from 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. Presentation Types We welcome and encourage proposals for a wide range of traditional and non-traditional conference formats, including workshops, panels, papers, roundtables, interviews, debates, pecha kucha presentations, posters, games (anything from a life-size board game to a videogame to critical jeopardy), art installations, data visualizations, short film screenings, and music, dance, and theatre performances. We will also consider remote presentations via video-conference for those who are unable to travel to Lawrence. Proposal Submission Proposals should be submitted via the webform at https://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2019/submit and include a complete form and project description of 500 words maximum. Please note Forum organizers may request an alternative presentation format or collaboration between related proposals. The deadline for proposal submission is May 20th, 2019 at 11:59pm. Student Presentation Award Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to submit proposals for presentations. One student presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality, originality, and clarity of the proposal, along with its alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. Students who wish to be considered for this award will be guided to submit an impact statement of 250 words in the online submission form. The awardee will be presented with a check for $500 and award certificate at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the award.

DH, copyright and Article 17 (ex Article 13)
by Ernesto Priego 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Dear all, It seems to me that all researchers using the Internet should care about copyright legislation that affects what we can and cannot do online. European researchers using the Internet should be specifically concern about the Article 17 (ex Article 13). Many of us believe the current proposals that are being discussed would negatively impact researchers, creators and users’ fundamental freedoms. There wouldn't be any academic in the digital humanities (based in Europe or not) who would not be impacted in some way by this piece of legislation. Some resources below: For background: What is Article 13? (BBC) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-47239600# Read more about the possible impact of Article 17 (ex Article 13): https://saveyourinternet.eu/?noredirect=true#impact Final copyright vote: MEPs must choose to save the internet (Open Knowledge Foundation blog) https://blog.okfn.org/2019/03/26/final-copyright-vote-meps-must-choose-to-s… I just signed the petition "European Parliament: Stop the censorship-machinery! Save the Internet!" and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name. The goal is to reach 6,000,000 signatures and we need more support.

MakeWrite is now live
by Ernesto Priego 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Dear all, I am pleased to announce that we have now launched MakeWrite, an iPad app that was co-designed by and for people with aphasia (a language difficulty following brain injury). The app offers an accessible way for anyone to create and share texts in English. However, you don't need to live with aphasia to try it out. Users can use existing text to make their own new piece of creative writing in four simple stages: choose, erase, arrange and share. The project has launched it today as part of UNESCO's World Poetry Day. This is its first release- it is a worldwide release for all iPad models, but if you are not in the UK and you experience difficulties downloading please do let us know- there should be no problems though. Needless to say I'd personally love to see a multilingual MakeWrite, and of course one with a wider variety of source texts and an Android version too. In the meanwhile here's the first release, and as fellow DH folk I thought you'd be interested.
