Fwd: [Wiki-research-l] Research project - Challenges for Wikipedia projects in Latin American indigenous langauges
by Stuart A. Yeates 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eddie Avila <eddie(a)globalvoices.org> Date: Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 9:24 AM Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Research project - Challenges for Wikipedia projects in Latin American indigenous langauges To: wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hello - My name is Eddie Avila and I’m with the organization Global Voices. I’ve been lurking for the past couple of months getting a feel of different experiences in research around Wikimedia-related topics. We were recently awarded a Project Grant from the Wikimedia Foundation to conduct a research project examining the current state of active and incubator Wikipedias in indigenous languages of Latin America with a special focus on identifying ongoing challenges for native-speaking editors and the demand for this content in their communities. I believe some members of this list provided some feedback on the proposal, which was greatly appreciated. The project is still a work in progress and the final, refined proposal will be added to the original proposal. We are looking forward to adding the Lead Researcher to the team to help us better define the parameters and design the methodology. Anyway, we recently published a call for applications (it is in Spanish because of the language requirement associated with the position), but if you or someone you might know would be interested in applying, please send them this link. Deadline is next Friday, Nov. 4. *Global Voices Busca Investigador/a Principal Para Estudio Sobre Wikipedia en Lenguas Indígenas <http://bit.ly/wikilenguas> * Looking forward to providing updates along the way. Thanks, Eddie - - - - - - - - - - - - Eddie Avila Director, Rising Voices Global Voices http://globalvoicesonline.org @risingvoices _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l

by Matthew Thomas Miller 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Dear all, *Apologies for cross-posting!* On November 4th-5th, Roshan Institute for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park will host the “Manuscripts in the Digital Age Workshop," which is co-sponsored by Tufts University’s Perseids Project <http://perseids.org/>, UMD’s Arts and Humanities Center for Synergy <http://arhusynergy.umd.edu/>, UMD’s School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (SLLC) <http://sllc.umd.edu/>, and Kent State University’s School of Library and Information Science <https://www.kent.edu/slis>). It will bring together researchers, curators, librarians, and technical specialists from the Perseus Digital Library, Library of Congress, Digital Latin Library, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (UPenn), Freer & Sackler Galleries, and Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities to discuss the technical challenges for the creation of an integrated online "manuscript workspace." The technical participants in this workshop want to better understand the needs and types of functionality that scholars, students, citizen scientists, and those working in the GLAM sector would ideally like to see in such a workspace. For this reason, we are asking any of you who work on manuscripts to consider taking this very brief questionnaire <http://kentstate.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9F8TmPXVOAZ1GHH> about what types of features and functionality you would like to see developed for digital manuscript studies: http://kentstate.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_ 9F8TmPXVOAZ1GHH Sincerely, Bridget Almas, Perseids Project, Tufts University Emad Khazraee, School of Library and Information Science, Kent State University Matthew Thomas Miller, Roshan Institute for Persian Studies, University of Maryland Joshua Westgard, University of Maryland Libraries -- *Matthew Thomas Miller, Ph.D. * Roshan Institute Research Fellow Associate Director, Roshan Initiative in Persian Digital Humanities (PersDig@UMD) <http://persdig.umd.edu/> Roshan Institute for Persian Studies University of Maryland, College Park Professional website: http://www.matthewthomasmiller.com/ Academia.edu page: https://umcp.academia.edu/MatthewThomasMiller

Big data, mass surveillance and DH
by Domenico Fiormonte 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Dear friends, members of this list may be interested in this reflection: http://infolet.it/2016/09/22/big-data-terrorism-and-the-role-of-the-digital… We believe mass surveillance conducted through the use and misuse of our data is not only (sic) an issue of democracy and freedom, but affects directly the Humanities as a scholarly discipline and intellectual activity. Both levels, geopolitics of the network and identity, involve building, accessing and manipulating cultures, memory and *knowledge*. Which ultimately is the "core business" of humanists and social scientists. This article is part of a series of posts we'll be publishing on Infolet.it in the next months as a part of an ogoing book project: "The End of the Internet". Occasionally we'll try to translate fragments or chapters in other languages, especially if people from the DH community will help us! Thanks Domenico

Rome 3D exhibition and colloquium
by Short, Harold 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Dear All List members may be interested in the exhibition and associated colloquium that will be taking place in Rome from Friday to Sunday. Everyone is welcome. (The languages in the colloquium will be Armenian and English; unfortunately on this occasion it was not possible to include Italian as well, which we are very disappointed about.) Best wishes Harold Harold Short Emeritus Professor Dept of Digital Humanities King's College London Visiting Professorial Fellow Australian Catholic University ================ Julfa Cemetery Digital Repatriation Project: 1-day Colloquium and Exhibitions Dates: 1-day Colloquium : Friday 23 September 2016 Exhibitions : Saturday 24 - Sunday 26 September 2016 Venue: Soap Factory, Via degli Argonauti 16, 00154 Roma The former Soap Factory is in Garbatella, 500m from Garbatella Metro station. It has on-site parking, and there are bus stops nearby. This immersive 3D exhibition and associated colloquium will appeal to those with interests in endangered cultural heritage and its preservation, in 3D visualisation, in digital humanities, in medieval and religious art, in Near Eastern history, early Christian history, theology, and social justice. The Julfa Cemetery Digital Repatriation Project is creating a virtual reconstruction of the ancient Armenian cemetery at Julfa, completely destroyed by Azeri troops in the first five years of this century. The project has been undertaken to restore dignity to the deceased inhabitants of Julfa Cemetery and ensure the public memory of Armenia’s cultural heritage. This includes its 'repatriation' to people of Armenian extraction wherever in the world they may be living, but its significance as world cultural heritage is equally important. The cemetery is also important testimony to early Christian history in the Near East. The project is hosted by The Australian Catholic University which is celebrating the opening of a joint 'Rome Centre' with Catholic University of America. This is the project's first immersive 3D exhibition, based on 3D scans and photographs of about 15 extant monuments from Julfa - i.e. those that were removed from Julfa cemetery for one reason or another during the course of the 20th Century. The exhibition will be available for public viewing in the Soap Factory from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September. Those attending the Conference on Friday 23rd will be the first to experience the exhibition, with a preliminary view during the conference and an extended viewing at the close, with a reception to follow. The purpose of the Conference is to describe the rationale, work and goals of the project and the importance of Julfa's funerary monuments, especially its medieval khachkars (cross-stones), whose international cultural significance was recognised by UNESCO when they were added to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage soon after the final destruction of the cemetery in 2006. The speakers will include Professor Hamlet Petrosyan, a leading international expert on the monuments of Julfa, Argam Ayvazyan, whose systematic photography of the cemetery makes its virtual reconstruction possible, and members of the project team: Harold Short, Judith Crispin and Drew Baker. Those attending the colloquium will be provided with lunch, as well refreshments in the morning and afternoon breaks, the reception which will follow the colloquium. Full details are available on the project website at https://julfaproject.wordpress.com/1-day-conference-and-exhibition-rome. For catering purposes those wishing to attend the colloquium are asked to contact Harold Short : haroldshort [at] mac.com<http://mac.com>. ====================
