Dear all,
We have had many newcomers join us to the list after Montreal. I wanted to personally welcome you to the GO::DH mailing list. Please feel free to ask anything, share opportunities and projects of interest to folks working around the world. You can speak in any language you please. Yo hablo en español a veces.
Sometimes we debate issues here, and we do so in a spirit of understanding of our differences and generosity to our colleagues. You just arrived at an important moment for GO::DH. An important volume on Global Debates in Digital Humanities http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/cfps/cfp_2017_global_digital_humanities.html, edited by Domenico Fiormonte, Sukanta Chaudhuri, and Paola Ricaurte, has been announced, and we hope many of you will consider contributions.
More generally for us as a community, we are trying to decide the future of GO::DH itself: should we become a constituent organization of ADHO, or should we focus on discussions and projects. To get some context on the latter, please feel free to reach out with questions. You can also learn about our history from our site http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/ and the mailing list archive http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/. The early days in the archive are of particular interest since many important debates that still resonate today took place in this list.
Bienvenidos!! a.
