Call for Proposals *Deadline (EXTENDED) to submit a proposal: Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST* msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of 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 <http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/>, 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 expresses a critique of 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, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 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 Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - 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 - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu

10 Nov '16

Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University March 16-17, 2017 Call for Proposals Deadline to submit a proposal: Friday, December 9, 11:59pm EST msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of 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 <http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/>, 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 expresses a critique of 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, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 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 9, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - 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 - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: https://goo.gl/forms/ClMqfXNSi9bAHURl1 Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu

Lab, Duke University Chair, Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations Communications Committee @dukewired | @ADHOrg CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: MA in Digital Art History/Computational Media APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 31, 2017 TO APPLY: https://gradschool.duke.edu/admissions/application-instructions The Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies at Duke University offers a Master's Degree in Digital Art History/ Computational Media. The eighteen-month program builds on courses and well-developed strengths at Duke University. The program requires 10 courses over three semesters in addition to summer research. Limited funding may become available in the form of grants and assistantships to students contingent upon positive progress in the program. The Digital Art History track integrates historical disciplines and the study of cultural artifacts with digital visualization techniques for the analysis and presentation of research. This track prepares students for future work in such fields as art, architectural and urban history, public history, city planning and architectural design, cultural heritage, museum exhibition design, and visualization-based journalism, and provides a springboard for more advanced study in art history, archaeology, architectural history, and visual studies. More information: aahvs.duke.edu/graduate/digital-art-history. The Computational Media track is designed for graduate students focused on the study, creation, and use of digital media and computation in the arts and humanities. This track explores research and presentation strategies enabled by the information sciences, new approaches to computational processes, and new forms of interpreting quantitative and qualitative data.

UCLA Symposium: Composition Across/Between Edges, Surfaces and Materialities Dec. 8, 2016
by Élika Ortega 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Dear all, Apologies for cross posting I am happy to announce (if you have not seen this elsewhere) two events at UCLA in early December (Dec 8-9) co-organized by Miriam Posner, Patrik Svensson and myself. All best, Élika Composition Across/Between Edges, Surfaces and Materialities Symposium, Dec 8, 2016 This symposium explores compositions that happen, emerge, or are partly enacted at edges, between surfaces and across materialities, scales and modalities. These kinds of compositions–narrative, artistic, scholarly, political, infrastructural, etc.–demand a reorientation of established knowledge models, critical stances, vocabularies and infrastructures. They shift our attention to their architecture – conceptual and material – and the very process of composition as argumentative, narrative, and strategic media ideations. The symposium aims to develop further understandings of these compositions and partake in the imagining of new practices based on prolonged conversations, a range of concrete examples and thematic interventions. Questions addressed include: What compositions might be possible (and not possible) in contemporary – complex and multimodal – information ecologies? What tools and narrative/material strategies would be necessary to enact them? How can we go beyond “edged” thinking and practice (and contemporary compositional regimes)? How can we learn from earlier and contemporary work on materially complex compositions? What is the compositional significance of the edges? How do they affect material relations of power? How can they be used to enact social and cultural shifts? Participants bring expertise from a range of fields and practices including literary studies, design, scientific visualization, digital humanities, media studies, art history, classics, media arts, and information studies. Among invited and confirmed participants (so far) are: Rita Raley, Ricardo Domínguez, Mark Marino, Anne Balsamo, Zach Horton, Carter Emmart, Johanna Drucker, Erkki Huhtamo and Jeremy Douglass. More information and registration here: http://dhbasecamp.humanities.ucla.edu/compositions/ Please register and join us in Southern California/at UCLA in December (and also take the opportunity to attend the event described below)! Registered participants may be asked to be invited participants. Encoding Diversity Seminar, Dec 9, 2016, 10 am-12 Room 111, Information Studies Building. This UCLA Digital Humanities Seminar engages with critical themes inside and outside the field. The format is meant to be inviting, generous, sharp, dialogic and experimental. The theme for the December 9 seminar - "Encoding Diversity" - invites critical-material engagement with the encoding of library systems, biodiversity databases, public systems, (digital humanities) institutions and organizations, visual archives, digital humanities "data" and more. The use of "encoding" is also meant to indicate an interest in the active engagement with making, challenging and changing such structures. The conversation will include Ursula Heise, Geoffrey Bowker, Safiya Umoja Noble, Élika Ortega and Todd Presner. No registration required.
