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.

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. A reception will follow.
To RSVP, please email CTSDH Director Kyle Roberts (kroberts2(a)luc.edu?<mailto:kroberts2@luc.edu?subject=Harpur%20Critical%20Archive%20Launch%20RSVP>?). ?
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!

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

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

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.

The inaugural Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH)
conference will take place in Pittsburgh, PA, July 23-26, 2019 at the
Pittsburgh Marriott City Center.
*Conference Description
****
*ACH is the United States-based constituent organization in the Alliance
for Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO). The ACH 2019 conference, in
partnership with Keystone DH, provides a forum for conversations on an
expansive definition of digital humanities in a broad array of subject
areas, methods, and communities of practice.
ACH recognizes that this work is inherently and inextricably
sociopolitical, and thus additionally, but not exclusively, welcomes
scholarship that emphasizes social justice through the use of computers
and related technologies in the study of humanistic subjects.
Areas of engagement include but are not limited to:
* Computational and digital approaches to research and pedagogy;
* Digital media, art, literature, history, music, film, and games;
* Digital librarianship;
* Digital humanities tools and infrastructures;
* Humanistic research on digital objects and cultures;
* Knowledge infrastructures;
* Physical computing;
* Resource creation, curation, and engagement;
* Use of digital technologies to write, publish, and review scholarship.
We particularly invite proposals on anti-racist, queer, postcolonial and
decolonial, indigenous, Black studies, cultural and critical ethnic
studies, and intersectional feminist interventions in digital studies.
As an organization committed to cross-disciplinary engagement, we
welcome interdisciplinary proposals. We also are especially interested
in receiving proposals from participants with a range of expertise and
from a variety of roles, including alt-ac positions, employment outside
of higher education, and graduate students. We further invite proposals
from participants who are newcomers to digital humanities.
*Conference Proposals*
We encourage those proposing sessions to consider formats beyond the
traditional 20-minute paper panels, such as roundtables, multi-speaker
panels, digital posters, lightning talks, installations, and
performances. When proposing a session, we ask that you describe your
session type and indicate a preferred time length for the session.
Suggestions are below, but we encourage proposers to move beyond them
and to think creatively about other possibilities.
Proposals should be between 250-500 words in length and should describe
the proposed topic, requested time length, participants, and audience
for the session, and should include five keywords. We suggest 250-word
proposals for individual submissions and 500-word proposals for
multi-speaker submissions. While proposals should be clearly linked to
existing scholarly debates, formal citations are not required except for
direct quotation. Submissions will be evaluated using double-blind peer
review, so please omit identifying information, including author name
and affiliation, in the proposal.
While our CFP has been released in English, Spanish, and French, we
welcome proposals for contributions in other languages. Proposals will
be reviewed in the language of submission. Regardless of the language of
your proposal, please ensure that your five keywords are in English to
facilitate program scheduling.
Proposals will be submitted using ConfTool:
https://www.conftool.org/ach2019. Please create a new account to submit
your proposal.
Please note that for the purposes of scheduling, we may suggest an
alternative length or collaboration between related proposals. While
there is no limit on number of submissions, the committee will not
normally schedule more than two presentations from one primary author.
*Suggested Proposal Types and Duration*
The proposal types and durations below are suggestions. We eagerly
welcome alternatives.
/Workshops/ (3 hours to full-day): In-depth hands-on sessions led by
presenters with expertise, technical or otherwise, in an emerging topic
or methodology of broad interest to the ACH community.
/Panels/ (1 hour): Engaging sessions that facilitate dialogue between
panelists and across panel and audience, highlighting connections
between projects, methods, or themes.
/Papers/ (10-20 minutes): Dynamic presentations that share experiments,
works in progress, or sustained reflections and outcomes of more
complete projects while engaging a range of participants and fostering
connections and dialogue.
/Roundtables/ (1 hour): Sessions for which speakers provide brief
interventions or framing on a set of issues, keywords, methods, and/or
themes, followed by open discussion among speakers and the audience.
/Lightning Talks/ (5 minutes): Highly-focused presentations that
succinctly introduce a topic, method, tool, project, or work-in-progress
to catalyze ideas and foster follow-up discussion.
/Posters/ (poster session): Poster proposals present work on any
relevant topic or offer project tool, and software demonstrations in any
stage of development.
/Installations and Performances/ (1 hour to ongoing throughout
conference): Art work, creative data visualizations, performances,
demonstrations, and other critical interventions that engage conference
issues, methods and themes.

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!

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.
All the best,
Ernesto

*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.
