Subject: [FORCE11] Call for Course Proposals - FSCI2018 - Deadline January 8, 2018
by O'Donnell, Dan 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Of interest to members of this group. Although we are not yet advertising it, there is a small pool of money that will be available for instructors from Mid and Low Income economies who propose a course that is accepted at this summer school. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! Call for Course Proposals - Deadline January 8, 2018 FSCI 2018 (FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute) July 30 - August 3, 2018, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA USA · Do you have research, experience, or skills in Scholarly Communication that you can share with others? · Could you help improve Scholarly Communications by proposing and leading a FSCI summer course? · Do you want to teach and learn in a premiere community-led Scholarly Communications Summer School? Course Submission Form: https://goo.gl/yRQKeu [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/FRHSh8UKt9KCEALr8ZE_98kFPksYbH92qWqrSpPub…]<https://goo.gl/yRQKeu> FSCI 2018 Call for Course Proposals<https://goo.gl/yRQKeu> goo.gl This form is for proposals to run a course at FSCI 2018 at UCSD in La Jolla, California from July 30 to August 3, 2018. Please see the FSCI website www.force11.org/fsci for more detail on how courses are structured and the expectations of instructors. We will work with shortlisted applications in January to finalize the selection of courses. The final program will be announced in February. Submission deadline: January 8, 2017 New and returning instructors are welcome! About FSCI2018 FSCI 2018 (FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute) is the premiere Community-led and organised summer school on current trends in Scholarly Communication. Instructors are community members who are passionate about passing on their knowledge and experience to others in Scholarly Communication. They range from up-and-coming researchers and practitioners to world-leading experts. The students they teach come from a wide variety of backgrounds: research, funding, administration, publishing, libraries, and information users. They range from absolute beginners to discipline leaders. They are eager to learn and represent an excellent source of potential collaborations! If you have ideas for a course that could help other members of the community navigate this new world, then we want to hear from you! Course Description FSCI has two types of course. • Morning courses (13-14 hours each), run Monday - Friday approximately 09:00 - 12:30 with a coffee break each day. Morning courses tend to contain more fundamental material or focus on broader areas of study. Examples from 2017 include “Reproducibility in Theory and Practice” and “Inside Scholarly Communications Today”. • Afternoon courses (6 hours each) run for three hours after lunch on Monday/Tuesday and on Wednesday/Thursday. (In response to feedback from FSCI 2017, afternoon course instructors will run their classes twice to maximise availability). Afternoon courses tend to be a bit more specialised and sometimes more technical. These are excellent places for advanced topics. In all cases, we encourage instructors to design their material around a hands-on, workshop format. Student evaluations suggest that attendees want to try things out for themselves and are less patient with a lecture-centered approach. You can see some of the titles we had last year below. How to Propose a Course You can propose a course using our Course Proposal Form. This form asks you for a title, instructor(s), and some background on you and your proposed topic. A programming committee will review course proposals with the goal of choosing the best combination of topics, skill-levels, and disciplinary focus. What Support Can I Expect? FSCI will provide basic technical support for instructors. If you have specialised needs, we will do our best to arrange additional support. In addition, FSCI will provide complimentary tuition fees, housing, and meals for 1 instructor per course. We are currently unable to provide reimbursement for travel costs to and from San Diego, though we are seeking funding. We hope to be able to secure some funding with a focus on providing support to instructors from Low and Mid Income Economies. Additional information about travel support will be posted as it becomes available. If you do require travel funding to participate in FSCI, please indicate this on the submission form. Sample Courses from Previous Year • Altmetrics: Where Are We Now and Where Are We Headed Next? • Applying Design Thinking and User Research to the Scholarly Communication Problem Space • AuthorCarpentry: A Hands-on Approach to Open Authorship and Publishing • Building Public Participation in Research • Communication and Advocacy for Research Transparency • Data Citation Implementation for Data Repositories • Data in the Scholarly Communications Life Cycle • How Universities Can Create an Open Access Culture • Identifying How Scientific Papers Are Shared and Who Is Sharing Them on Twitter • Inside Scholarly Communications Today • Open Annotation Tools and Techniques • Open Humanities 101 • Opening the Sandbox: Supporting Student Research as a Gateway to Open Practice • Opening Up Research and Data • Perspectives on Peer Review • Research Reproducibillity in Theory and Practice • Scholarship in the 21th Century Building an Open and Information-rich Research Institute • Software Citation: Principles, Usage, Benefits, and Challenges • Starting Out: Skills and Tools for Early Career Knowledge Workers • Technology and Tools for Academic Library Teams • The Sci-AI Platform: Enabling Literature-Based Discovery • Tips, Tools, and Tactics for Managing Digital Projects in Research and in the Classroom • Using New Metrics: A Practical Guide to Increasing the Impact of Research • Using the Open Science Framework To Increase Openness and Reproducibility in Research • Using Wikidata in Research and Curation • Walking the Line Between Advocacy and Activism in Scholarly Communication • When 'Global' is Local: Scholarly Communications in the Global South Bookmark the website and watch for further information.

Election Results
by Amy Earhart 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hello to all, The election has now closed. The members voted for The Baby and the Bathwater Option. However, we only had 11% participation. I believe that the by-laws now triggers a return to the executive committee: Quorum for approval by the membership shall be 25% of the total membership. In the event quorum is not reached, the Executive may approve amendments to the Bylaws by a supermajority. In such a case, the Executive should consider carefully the results of the membership election, though it is not bound by it. Best, Amy

Final Reminder: Global Digital Humanities Symposium 2018, Call for Proposals (Deadline: FRIDAY)
by Kristen Mapes 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

*Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University* *March 22-23, 2018* *We are committed to bringing a wide-ranging and diverse group of participants and presenters for our conference. To further this end, there will be funds available to assist or offset the costs of travel. There is an option to request consideration for travel funds in the proposal form. If you have any questions, please email dh(a)msu.edu <dh(a)msu.edu>.* *Call for Proposals* Deadline to submit a proposal: Friday, December 15, 11:59pm EST msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its third 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. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cplong.org_2016_10_crit…>, values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form manifests a critical perspective on the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of 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 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__endangereddataweek.org_…>, and the digital divide. We view the 2018 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. Michigan State University has been intentionally global <http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/> for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/>, a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/> that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships and capacity building. WIDE <http://wide.msu.edu> has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/>. Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. 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, December 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 *Presentation Formats:* - 3-5-minute lightning talk - 15-minute presentation - 90-minute workshop - 90-minute panel *Proposal form*: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.msuglobaldh.org_sub… Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, 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

CFParticipation: Digital Art History Summer Institute
by Hannah Jacobs 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

****Please share. Apologies for cross-posting!**** Advanced Topics in Digital Art History: 3D and (Geo)Spatial Networks June 4-16, 2018 in Venice, Italy Digital Technologies for Historical and Cultural visualization are transforming the ways that scholars can study and represent works of art, as well as growth and change in urban spaces and structures. With the support of The Getty Foundation as part of its Digital Art History initiative, The Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture at Duke University, the University of Padua'?s Architecture and Engineering program and Venice International University are collaborating on a Summer Workshop that will support interdisciplinary teams focused on the hard questions of Digital Art History as a discipline, a set of methods, and a host of technical and institutional challenges and opportunities. After five editions of two-weeks summer workshops introducing concepts and methods for digital art and architectural history through hands-on tutorials and collaborative project development, the program for 2018 will shift to focus on advancing the field of digital art and architectural history through a combination of project-sharing, technology exploration, and academic discussion. After the initial two-week gathering in Venice, we still stay in touch as a community over the course of the next year, reconvening for one week in 2019 to write up and assess our work. This workshop is different than our earlier Visualizing Venice workshop iterations in that we are asking people to apply as teams of 2 or 3, and with a Digital Art History Mapping and/or Modeling project already in place, and which they hope to develop further in conversation with the group. The focus of applicant projects does not need to be on Venice or Visualizing Cities, though projects related to those themes are welcome. We will expect participants to share their working projects files with the group, and will work with selected participating teams in advance of the meeting to customize the curriculum to fit the needs and interests of the group. Alums of our previous introductory workshops are welcome to apply, as are new participants, from the US and abroad. Thanks to the generosity of the Getty Foundation, we are able to offer support for tuition, travel, board and accommodation expenses. More Info and Application at http://univiu.org/homepage/study/summer-schools/visualizing-venice. Deadline: January 5, 2018 ***************** --- Hannah L. Jacobs Digital Humanities Specialist, Wired!
