by luctsdh 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Join us for an Online Info Session on Thursday October 25, 7pm CST. We'll discuss the curriculum, classes, and the career paths you can take with a Master's degree in Digital Humanities. Register at: https://gpem.luc.edu/register/?id=784cf149-cc7f-4f8b-b88d-f40f2122d1ae%20 Our Master's Program Learn first-hand the ways in which computational technologies are transforming how we ask- and seek to answer- age-old humanistic questions. Gain a theoretical understanding of how technology shapes our lived experience while developing practical knowledge of making and building. Our Students Our students arrive from different fields and disciplines, including literary studies, history, computer science, communications, and library and information science. They come from diverse cultural backgrounds, and find a home in Loyola's interdisciplinary research center, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/>, where they undertake research projects, present public programs, and gather socially. Our Curriculum In our 30-hour part-time or full-time program, our students are trained in the practice and critical study of the intersections between the humanities and computational social science. Coursework<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/academics/curriculum/> and research projects range from digital textual editing, archiving, publishing, and data analysis, to the study of new media. Students collaborate with world-renowned faculty and curators before embarking on a capstone project of their own design. Your Career MA in Digital Humanities graduates are prepared for careers in the private and academic sectors, including education, libraries, archives, museums, tech firms, and PhD programs. ? What Our Students Say "The diversity and global stature of Chicago are big parts of the reason I love the city. I was drawn to Loyola's strong reputation and emphasis on knowledge not for its own sake but for the service of others and the human community. Loyola's commitment to excellence and global awareness resonated with me during a time when our political leaders at the state and national level seem determined to pull away from science and the global community. Loyola's commitment to social justice in Plan 2020 (https://www.luc.edu/strategicplanning/plan2020/) gave me confidence that a degree from Loyola would prepare me not just for my own future, but to give back to others in Chicago and make a positive difference in the world." - Tyler Monaghan, Class of 2019 We are currently accepting applications for admission<https://luc.edu/ctsdh/academics/maindigitalhumanities/> for the Fall 2019 semester. The deadline to be considered for fellowship support is February 1, 2019. Register at: https://gpem.luc.edu/register/?id=784cf149-cc7f-4f8b-b88d-f40f2122d1ae%20 Learn More Can't make it?

Charles Harpur Critical Archive Launch (Oct. 17th)
by luctsdh 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Please join us for the launch of the Charles Harpur Critical Archive http://charles-harpur.org/ Wednesday, October 17, 3-4:30 pm Cuneo Hall 417 Loyola University Chicago ?We will celebrate the publication of this digital archive and scholarly edition of the poetic works and letters of Charles Harpur (1813-1868), the most important poet of colonial New South Wales. A Romantic celebrator of Australian landscape, an early environmentalist, a political satirist and love poet, Harpur and his works remain vitally alive today. But they have not been easily accessible. Project Director Prof. Paul Eggert will share some background on his inspiration and experience developing the site. He will be followed by a panel discussion on poetry and the act of revision, a key hallmark of Harpur's work, with Dr. Melissa Bradshaw, Dr. Jasper Cragwall, and Andrew Welch.

Questionnaire: “Mapping Laboratories in the Humanities”
by Urszula Pawlicka 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Dear all, You are welcome to participate in the questionnaire “Mapping Laboratories in the Humanities”! The following questionnaire is a part of my postdoctoral research project, titled “Laboratory Beyond the Science: Towards a New Physical Place and a New Paradigm in the Humanities”, conducted in the Department of Media at Aalto University. The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify the (digital) humanities, media, and cultural laboratories all over the world. My ultimate goal is to map laboratories created in different parts of the world and representing various models. One challenge is to locate laboratories established in countries where a language barrier makes it difficult to reach them. Therefore, your role is very important for me! If you know a lab created in the (digital) humanities, media or cultural studies at the university, please fill out this short (nine questions) questionnaire! It takes 3-4 minutes. I would appreciate if you can complete it by 31 October: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdlgsArwBcLWN10jt2ZXeI8_OIUMgD1o2x… Please circulate the questionnaire to your networks (the universities, departments, and researchers)! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me to the address: urszula.pawlicka(a)aalto.fi Thank you! Urszula ------------------------------- Urszula Pawlicka-Deger, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Researcher Department of Media, Aalto University https://research.aalto.fi/portal/urszula.pawlicka.html

Global Digital Humanities Symposium CFP - Submissions due November 15!
by Mapes, Kristen 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Dear colleagues, We welcome proposals from around the world for the 4th annual Global DH Symposium at Michigan State University. This year we have incorporated an option to present virtually. While most of the presentations at this event will be in person presentations, we wanted to ensure there were a few spots available to people unable to present in person or for whom traveling to the US would pose a risk. Additionally, we are continuing our policy of providing travel funding to speakers who request it, and we hope to be ever more effective at making the Symposium truly global. Please spread the word, and do message me with any questions! Sincerely, Kristen Mapes Global Digital Humanities Symposium March 21-22, 2019 MSU, Main Library, Green Room msuglobaldh.org<http://www.msuglobaldh.org/> Call for Proposals Deadline: November 15 Proposal form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8WhgGPBMvMhni-uv80BGNI1cVFW2GatY…> Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its fourth year. 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. 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. Given the growth of these fields within the digital humanities, particularly 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. We view the 2019 symposium as 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. 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 Thursday, November 15, 11:59pm EST: * Critical cultural studies and analytics * Cultural heritage in a range of contexts * 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 * DH responses to crisis * How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work * Global research dialogues and collaborations * 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 * The state of global digital humanities community * 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 Presentation Formats: * 5-minute lightning talk * 15-minute presentation * 90-minute workshop * 90-minute panel * 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. Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 22, 2018 Kristen Mapes Assistant Director of Digital Humanities, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308 East Lansing MI 48824 517-884-1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu | @kmapesy she/her/hers

CFP: Digital Humanities Quarterly Special issue: "Lab and Slack. Situated Research Practices in Digital Humanities"
by Urszula Pawlicka 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Lab and Slack. Situated Research Practices in Digital Humanities CFP: Special Issue for the Digital Humanities Quarterly Editors: Mila Oiva (University of Turku) and Urszula Pawlicka-Deger (Aalto University) Although the concept of digital comes with an assumption of placelessness and detachment from physical space and geographical location, these matters still play a significant role in the way the digital humanities research is practiced today, and also in the future. The location, the surroundings and infrastructure open the questions of accessibility and equality: space shapes the opportunities for doing digital humanities research, both enables and hinders collaboration, and both unifies and divides scholars. The purpose of this special issue is to examine the different aspects of situated research practices of the digital humanities covering two perspectives: physical and virtual. The physical places of research refer to the various digital humanities sites (laboratories, centers, departments) all over the world and more widely to the surroundings a location in a particular city, country, cultural sphere or continent affecting research practices. As virtual environments of digital humanities scholarship, we define the digital internet-based platforms, services, and tools that enable research and scholarly collaboration. The aspects that determine digital humanities research in both physical and virtual places are infrastructure (material and non-material), social interaction (communication and collaboration), and context (social, cultural, and political situatedness). The aspects influence each other and changes in one of them can affect the others. They have also impact on what is studied, the ways research can be done, and, in the end the results of our knowledge, what kind of knowledge digital humanities research can provide. We seek a series of articles that address the following issues, but not limited to, organized in two thematic clusters: 1) Lab: Physical Situatedness; and 2) Slack: Virtual Situatedness. Lab: Physical Situatedness This cluster proposes: - To look at digital humanities place from a pragmatic point of view to answer the questions of how to build a place for digital humanities within the university; what kind of institutional requirements need to be fulfilled and what type of obstacles stand in the way of development of the local field; and how a policy affects place, people, and research practices? - To explore different sites of digital humanities, such as center, laboratory, department, and library in order to reflect upon infrastructural changes, differences, functions, and challenges. - To consider people’s sense of belonging to place of digital humanities and a way of establishing local digital humanities community through various activities and events. Place attachment made by policy, representation, and symbolic gestures is, however, accompanied by a negative side of place identity that is exclusion. Therefore, the question is whether a place of digital humanities creates a mechanism to exclude people from the place and thereby, from the field. - To investigate digital humanities place from the local perspective, its social and cultural surroundings, and political conditions. How do the geographical location, the structure of national or international funding tools, proximity or distance to the (other) DH institutions, libraries, or IT businesses influence the ways digital humanities research is done in a particular place? How are the local DH communities being established, and what are the best ways for enabling collaboration and sharing of expertise, tools and resources? Slack: Virtual Situatedness This cluster aims: - To explore the ways the digital collaboration and analysis platforms and software direct digital humanities research. As digital humanities often involves interdisciplinary collaboration and the research ‘materials’ are in digitally shareable form (data, code, visualizations), the research practices are also increasingly performing in a digital way. We discuss at Skype meetings, organize the workflow through Slack and Trello, share materials through Github and Dropbox, and co-write papers in Google Drive. Do we use these platforms because they are the best ones, or because they are marketed the best, and all the other use them as well? In what ways the algorithms of the virtual spaces direct the communication, collaboration, and the research findings of digital humanities? - To analyze how utilization of virtual collaborative spaces tie us with other kinds of cultural and political dimensions. Being built by humans, the digital collaboration and analysis software contain cultural and spatial structures that enable one kind of activity and constraints the other. Does virtual collaboration enable crossing the physical, cultural, and language boundaries, or do the virtual spaces strengthen these boundaries, or construct new ones? - To investigate the questions of ethics, accessibility, privacy and sustainability incorporated in the tools that we use for research.

[Apologies for cross-posting] Dear colleagues, One of the main aims of the project POSTDATA is to provide a means to publish European poetry data as Linked Open Data (LOD). With this goal in mind, we created a common data model that must cover any relevant concepts to carry out research about European poetry. The project is very ambitious, and we cannot develop it successfully without your collaboration. What do we need from you? We would like you to select any poetic resource of your interest and try to fill in this form <http://postdata-model-validation.linhd.es> about it with any pertinent information for your research. In exchange for your collaboration, whenever the validation process is over, you will receive an RDF dataset with the data you provided in this form. Thank you very much for your collaboration!

Film Screenings of Paywall: The Business of Scholarship
by Ernesto Priego 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Dear all, I hope you had a good summer and are all doing well. In anticipation of Open Access Week 2018 <http://www.openaccessweek.org/> (October 22-28 2018), I'd like to share with you that I've organised a free and public screening of the documentary film *Paywall: The Business of Scholarship* (dir. and prod. Jason Schmitt, 2018) at City, University of London, on Wednesday 17 October 2018 from 17:30. The screening will be introduced by Yours Truly and hopefully followed by discussion, either there or at the pub. (This event is public and free but requires registration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/documentary-film-screening-paywall-the-busin…) <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/documentary-film-screening-paywall-the-busin…> You can watch trailers for the film at https://paywallthemovie.com/trailers. For other screenings at universities worldwide, keep an eye on the listings at https://paywallthemovie.com/screenings. <https://paywallthemovie.com/screenings> The producer and director, Jason Schmitt, is keen on more universities hosting screenings for the film. If you are interested and can help promoting the film and fostering wider discussion about scholarly communications, you can contact Jason via this contact form: https://paywallthemovie.com/contact. Once again I think the digital humanities is highly invested in the digital infrastructures that enable scholarly publishing today, and therefore can play a leading role in promoting wider discussion on the state of scholarly communications today, its history and possible avenues for its future.

CFP: Digital Diasporas, University of London, June 6-7, 2019
by Roopika Risam 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Dear Colleagues, I write to share a CFP that may be of interest. Note that there are small bursaries for students and early career researchers. Sincerely, Roopika *Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 6 and 7 June 2019* https://crosslanguagedynamics.blogs.sas.ac.uk/digital-diasporas/call-for-pa… Venue: School of Advanced Study, Senate House (University of London) Since Appadurai wrote on the intertwined phenomena of electronic media and migration as disruptive and defining features of modern subjectivity (1996), the relationship between digital technologies and diasporic communities has emerged as a critical area of study across a number of disciplines. However, such research risks remaining isolated within disciplinary silos, often despite the similar processes, practices and materials studied. This conference aims to inspire greater dialogue across disciplinary boundaries in order to develop a richer understanding of the role of the digital in creating and sustaining diasporic connections and communities, and of how diasporic groups and individuals transform and shape digital tools and technologies for their own creative and strategic purposes. Through this dialogue it is hoped that new transdisciplinary ways of working may develop which challenge knowledge fragmentation in order to confront the complexity of the contemporary context of intensified cultural and linguistic flows and new patterns of human mobility. At the same time, drawing attention to diasporic narratives and approaches to digital culture and technologies can function as both critique and challenge to centralised narratives of digital progress and development often restricted to predominantly Anglophone contexts. We especially welcome research which pays attention to the linguistic and cultural dimensions of digital technologies and media. This is, however, not restricted to any specific geographical area, language or type of community. Equally, the digital is intended to encompass the fullest range of digital practices, materials and technologies, while the conference aims to include methodological and analytical approaches ranging across, for example, ethnographic, cultural studies and computational approaches. Areas of particular, but not exclusive, interest include: Social media and migration focused research; Multilingualism and digitally mediated communications; Histories of the internet and web archives research; Ethnographies of the internet and uses of digital technologies (including research combining offline-online methods); Digital media, cultural and visual studies; Digital and diasporic cultural memory; Digitally mapping and visualising migrations and diasporic networks, with attention to ethical and political concerns. Invited keynote and panel speakers include: Jannis Androutsopoulos (Universität Hamburg); Tobias Blanke (King’s College London); Alexandra Georgakopoulou (King’s College London); Agnieszka Lyons (Queen Mary, University of London); Mirca Madianou (Goldsmiths, University of London); Sandra Ponzanesi (Utrecht University); Roopika Risam (Salem State University); Caroline Tagg (The Open University); Funda Ustek-Spilda (London School of Economics/Goldsmiths); Janet Zmroczek (British Library) We invite abstract submissions for 20-minute presentations. Abstracts should be between 150-300 words in length (the bibliography does not count towards the word limit). Presentations can be on previously published research or ongoing projects. We intend to develop a Special Issue or edited volume which will include an invited selection of the research presented at the conference. In order to incorporate emerging work in progress, particularly from ongoing PhD projects, the conference will have space for a smaller number of lightning research talks of 5-7 minutes for which we also invite abstracts of 100-200 words. Please submit through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dd2019 *T**he deadline for submissions is 1 December 2018.* Accepted papers will be confirmed by 1 February 2019. We also have a small number of bursaries of £100 to contribute towards travel and/or accommodation costs for postgraduate students or Early Career Researchers (within 8 years of receiving a PhD) whose submissions are accepted and who have restricted access to alternative funding for conference attendance. If you would like to be considered for an award, please attach with your submission a pdf or word document with a short statement of no more than 300 words explaining what the benefits of attending the conference would be for you and your research. -- Roopika Risam, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English Faculty Fellow for Digital Library Initiatives Salem State University http://roopikarisam.com
