GO::DH response to ADHO Change in Chair and Call for Recommendations on inter-cultural communication
by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Dec '15

08 Dec '15

Hi all, Earlier this week, ADHO announced a change in leadership as John Nerbonne stepped down as ADHO chair and Karina van Dalen-Oskam was elected as interim chair (the announcement is here: http://adho.org/announcements/2015/adho-announces-new-steering-committee-ch…). As part of the announcement, Karina called for a discussion on inter-cultural communication: "The first thing I have asked the Steering Committee to do, is to establish a protocol or a set of rules/guidelines for dealing with these fundamental cultural issues. We will not be the only organization that runs into this kind of problems. I have asked all members of the Steering Committee to do some research, and I would welcome input from others as well. Can you find guidelines that we could adopt/adapt for ADHO? Do colleagues from other international organizations have suggestions based on their own experience? Are there policy makers who can help? " This is something GO::DH can contribute to: it is closely related to our core interest AND we have actually discussed parts of this in our early days (see for example, the discussion involving some of these emails: http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-April/000319.html http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-January/000163.ht… http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/2013-January/000188.ht… At our meeting today, the executive decided to lead development of a GO::DH response to Karina's call. Because of the time limitations, we will not be able to have a full membership development and approval process (it is due Nov. 30th), though we may want to develop the interim statement further using that process after it is submitted to ADHO. For this reason it will be submitted formally as a document of the executive (and any additional authors) and as specifically reflecting their views rather than those of the SIG as a whole. But we would very much to develop this as openly and as broadly as possible within those constraints. To do this, we will be developing and writing the document openly in Google Docs between now and Sunday. We have divided our response into three sections: - Recognising and Accommodating Barriers to Participation (Lead editor: Gimena del Rio) - Best practice in governance and mentorship (Lead editors: Alex Gil and Élika Ortega - Best practice in inter-cultural language use and communication (Lead editors: Daniel O'Donnell and Øyvind Eide). Each of the editors will be sharing a link to a Google doc specifically for their section with the list in the next couple of hours. In the document, they will collect notes and points and examples (and ask you to help with your ideas). On Sunday morning, we will then lock the documents down and edit them into a narrative (it is because of time pressure that we will institute this lock down; this lock-down and the lack of time for followup consultation is also why, in the end, it will be submitted as a document of the executive rather than the SIG as a whole). In keeping with the GO::DH ethos, we encourage people to contribute in whatever language you feel most comfortable in and let the editors figure out how to combine the bits and pieces. Our final document will be submitted in three forms: an original language narrative written in the languages the editors feel most comfortable in (probably English and Spanish for the most part), an English-language, lingua franca translation for wide dissemination, and, as Karina has indicated that her first choice would be for Dutch, a Dutch-language submission copy. Let me emphasis the extent to which we welcome your ideas on these topics and invite you to contribute to the formulation of our response. It may also make sense to use the list as a way of conversationally developing ideas under these topics as well, so please feel free to contribute ideas that way, as well, again in whatever language you feel most appropriate. -dan

A response from members of the GO::DH community to the ADHO call for comment on intercultural communication
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

Hi all, We have an almost final version of our document now available online: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11b87VmblizmYeFoOUbHDOeR8A2EQ1F_Kg9jNQwU…. Karina has asked that we submit it in the course of the day Wednesday CET. The section editors still need to take a final view to make sure that their work is showing up the way they want and, of course, we welcome any comment--though at this point we may need to wait for subsequent iterations to incorporate significant points. I'd like to thank all who participated in what was a really enjoyable collaborative process. Mistakes and misrepresentations are the responsibility of the editors...but mostly inadvertent. We realise (I think) that it is a little platitudinous. -dan

GO::DH response to ADHO: What do we suggest about different cultural attitudes towards tone, argumentation, and so on?
by Daniel O'Donnell 28 Nov '15

28 Nov '15

Hi all, There have been some excellent comments suggested in the language document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pLB3-QYZdETd-fjBO9Bw6W93JbcJgcc5_m8BmUK… But a central question asked by Karina van Dalen-Oskam is not being answered there: what to do about intercultural differences in acceptable rhetoric? This is a real issue and one that goes much farther than just interpersonal communication. Some disciplines, some cultures, have traditionally had very aggressive argumentative and rhetorical approaches to research communication; others have had far less aggressive ones. I come from Anglo-Saxon studies, for example, which used to have a very hard and aggressive tone at conferences and the like (though it has toned itself down a lot in the current generation). But I'm also in North America, which has a far less aggressive academic culture on the whole, than, I'd say, the UK, Australia, or Germany. I think there can also often be a strong gender aspect to this: part of the lessening of the aggression of tone in Anglo-Saxon studies, I'd argue, has been a result of the sea change in gender composition of the field in the last couple of decades: apparently 2/3 of the speakers at the last ISAS meeting were women, for example (I couldn't go). So a real question is what to suggest about handling this? If you work in a discipline or culture that values that aggressive edge, for example, you can find not being tested aggressively vaguely insulting (as my father-the-physicist used to say, the worst thing in the world is being told you're not even wrong). But if you are used to a culture that values a more supportive or deferential or indirect approach to criticism and questioning, that same approach can come across as incredibly rude and exclusionary. My own feeling is that this needs to be treated a little like native-speaker use of international English: i.e. that we need to strive, regardless of what we consider to be the norm, for an approach that is accommodating and inclusive rather than divisive. So if I'm used to asking hard questions in a hard way in my own discipline, in an international context, I need to consciously practice a style that is more deferential and supportive, even while asking necessary questions and making necessary value judgments, in an international forum. Or is it as simple as saying "don't be an asshole"? I really don't know.

Hi all There's been some really interesting and useful discussion in the language section of our response, including some ideas for how languages OTHER than English might be made more accessible to global DH audiences (this is such a great list!).
