*Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the
Humanitieshttp://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/humanities.php
<http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/humanities.php>Lancaster University,
UK14th to 17th July 2015 *
Call for Participation
We are pleased to announce the first Lancaster Summer School in Corpus
Methods for the Humanities. This free-to-attend summer school is taught by
an interdisciplinary group of Lancaster University scholars from
departments including History, English and Creative Writing, Linguistics
and English Language, and Computing and Communications.
Across the Arts and Humanities, a number of parallel trends are developing
new methods, especially digital methods, for reading text and texts. We see
this in the form of the Digital Humanities enterprise, but also in renewed
interest in different forms of Distant Reading.
Thus there exists a growing need for advanced digital-methods training for
Arts and Humanities researchers. Meanwhile, a set of effective tools and
techniques have been developed within the discipline of Corpus Linguistics
which can answer this methodological need, allowing jointly
qualitative-quantitative analyses which go beyond statistical summary to a
critical engagement with text and context.
The Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities has been
inaugurated to help explore and extend the benefits of these approaches for
researchers, particularly PhD students and other junior researchers, in
arts and humanities fields.
Programme
The programme consists of a series of intensive two-hour sessions, some
involving practical work, others more discussion-oriented.
Topics include: : Introduction to corpus linguistics; Corpus tools and
techniques; Collecting corpus data; Foundational techniques - linking
quantitative results to qualitative analysis; Foundational techniques –
keywords; Foundational techniques – collocation; Studying social history
with corpora – prostitution in the 17th century; Using corpora in early
modern Literary Studies; Spelling variation – problems, analysis and
solutions; Studying conceptual history using EEBO-TCP; Exploring
Shakespeare's language with corpus techniques.
Speakers include, Alison Findlay, Stephen Pumfrey, Jonathan Culpeper, Ian
Gregory, and Tony McEnery.
This is one of five co-located Lancaster Summer Schools in
Interdisciplinary Digital Methods; see the website for further information:
http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool
Who can attend?
This event is aimed at junior humanities researchers - especially PhD
students and postdoctoral researchers. Anyone with an interest in the
analysis of large-scale textual resources – will find this summer school of
interest.
How to apply
The Summer School is free to attend, but registration in advance is
compulsory, as places are limited.
The deadline for registrations is Sunday 7th June 2015.
The application form is available on the event website:
http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/register.php#humanities
as is further information on the programme.

CFP: MAKING HUMANITIES MATTER
Jentery Sayers, Editor
Deadline for Abstracts: April 3, 2015
Part of the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series
A book series from the University of Minnesota Press
Matthew K. Gold, Series Editor
Lauren Klein, Associate Editor
What does it mean to describe humanities scholarship as built, assembled,
or constructed? To call a humanities argument a persuasive or provocative
object? To understand humanities disciplines as creative disciplines? To,
in short, make things in the humanities?
Engaging these questions and more, this volume in the Debates in the
Digital Humanities Series examines the arts and humanities in an age of
programmable worlds and digital/analog convergence. As both a working title
and a framework, we understand "making humanities matter" to invite
submissions that, through an attention to both theory and practice:
* Articulate what exactly it means to make things in the humanities;
* Describe how humanities research in computing is aligned with the arts
and creative practice (e.g., sculpture, performance, visual arts,
experimental media, and interaction design), and to what effects on the
humanities;
* Argue for what "humanities matter" should be or do, and why;
* Attend to how humanities scholarship and its materiality are changing
alongside or through the Internet of Things, wearables, bots, physical
computing, desktop fabrication, rapid prototyping, and speculative design;
* Unpack how humanities research is expressed through materials off the
page or screen, in the form of tangible objects, tactile media, or
human-computer relations; or
* Attest to the intersections between making things and the perceived
relevance of humanities scholarship, including the role of making in public
scholarship, community-based research, activism, and memory institutions.
Related questions include but are not limited to:
* How is making a form of experimental research or applied media theory?
* How can tactile media be scholarship? How can argumentation be expressed
through built forms?
* How is history being made through the (re)construction of artifacts,
exhibits, experiments, and interactives?
* How is making associated with reuse, repurposing, old media, and
critiques of obsolescence or waste in the humanities?
* How are laboratories, studios, and makerspaces playing a role in
humanities research? In these spaces, how are people translating
technologies and technical practices into humanities research?
* What does making mean for writing, rhetoric, public communication, peer
review, publishing, and the trajectories of (scholarly) argumentation?
* How are teachers integrating making into humanities pedagogy, and how is
"making" understood in the scholarship of teaching and learning?
* How is making functioning as a brand or fad, and to what effects on
practice and practitioners? More generally, what are some critiques of
making as a practice, movement, or concept in and beyond the academy?
* How are maker, do-it-yourself, or do-it-ourselves movements organized, by
whom, for whom, in what relation to industry, and under what assumptions?
What are the politics of making?
Practitioners from across the disciplines (regardless of rank, position, or
whether they are affiliated with an academic institution) are invited to
submit 300-word abstracts by 3 April 2015 to Jentery Sayers at
jentery(a)uvic.ca.
Collaboratively authored submissions are especially welcome. The Debates in
the Digital Humanities editorial team will review all abstracts, and
authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full manuscripts by
15 June 2015, with peer-to-peer review occurring during July 2015. The
volume will be published, in print and online, in 2016.
For the volume, contributions may ultimately assume the form of critical
essays, case studies, or project assessments (among other options). The
word count of the submissions may vary from 2000 to 8000 words, depending
on the submission. The editorial team will consult with authors of selected
abstracts about the word count of their contributions.
If you have any questions about Making Humanities Matter or this CFP, then
please email Jentery Sayers atjentery(a)uvic.ca. Sayers is Assistant
Professor of English and Cultural, Social, and Political Thought, as well
as Director of the Maker Lab in the Humanities, at the University of
Victoria.
Debates in the Digital Humanities is a hybrid print/digital publication
stream that explores new debates as they emerge. The first volume was
published in 2012 and edited by Matthew K. Gold. For future announcements
and news about the series, see http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/news and the
twitter hashtag #dhdebates.

Thanks for that link, Ernesto. Until this past January, Canada's policy on
this was the opposite (in some ways): the goverment had been using the
Universities as an outsourcer for immigration determination. It wasn't
quite as simple as this implies and I know people who ran into real trouble
with it. But the actually underlying assumption, I was told my our MP, for
all the policy hurdles, was that people the universities accepted would
make good immigrants.
It has changed now, in that you now need to show particularly economic
relevance, I believe, upon graduation.

Hey there, i receibed a few days ago one email related to a event or
course, my question is the following (i hope Dan, Alex and my colege
Yasmín can help me on this).
I´ve been working in the promotion of the International Book event
"FILCuba" using SocialMEdia as the main platafform in order to gain
more digital readers, and of course let the world know what is going
on in the island about digital books and non digital.
i have the results of 3 years of work with Yasmín as my partner on
this. in fact we show the results in the last DHMexico but we was not
able to be there because $ and some paperwork.
Yasmín and i have in our hand more data (3 years) and also a diagnost
about the organization who roles the event (preliminar diagnost) and
also the results on Twitter and 2 other socialMedia, i used a method
who allow me to trace one hashtag for a limited period of time in
order to obtain the real impact in digital world (in spanish i think
means "seguir impacto a través de una etiqueta posicionada en las
redes sociales; medir el impacto de esta en el mundo digital)
Any ideas about what ca we do with that, having in mind, until now,
yasmín and i are pretty new and maybe only people who are doing this
kine of work in Cuba.
Greetings.
Luis.
