We have three great Digital Humanities events at Loyola hosted by the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities and our university partners this week. Hope you can join us!
Talk: Textual Communities and the Canterbury Tales with Peter Robinson --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday February 19, 6:00pm Mundelein Hall, Room 515
This talk by Peter Robinson will introduce the new Textual Communities system for online collaborative editing, and illustrate its use with examples from the Canterbury Tales Project. Textual Communities is now in pre-release "sandbox" mode, and you are invited to try out the new system. The talk will discuss what earlier stages of the Canterbury Tales Project were able to discover using earlier systems, and how this new system might enable this project (and others) to achieve more.
Peter Robinson is Bateman Professor of English at the University of Saskatchewan. He is active in the creation of tools for scholarly editing, the development of standards for digital resources, formerly as a member of the Text Encoding Initiative and as leader of the EU funded MASTER project, and has published on Chaucer, scholarly editing, and the digital humanities.
For more information, please contact Prof. Paul Eggert (peggert@luc.edumailto:peggert@luc.edu).

Get ready for Fair Use Week (February 26-March 2, 2018) with a guided discussion with Niamh McGuigan and Margaret Heller about what fair use really means and tips for telling if your intended use is allowed.

Dear all,
One of my co-PIs on the Open Islamicate Texts Initiative (OpenITI) http://iti-corpus.github.io/, Sarah Bowen Savant, recently received a large ERC grant for her research project on the history of the Arabic book. (In short, they are working with David Smith on using and modifying his text reuse algorithms to study Arabic book history.) See more on the KITAB project here http://kitab-project.org/.
As a part of the grant, they are hiring a technical lead/solutions manager. Job ad is here http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BHQ171/technical-lead-solutions-architect-digital-humanities-project/. I think they are looking for a DH specialist who has project management and (at least some) coding/development skills.
If you know of anyone who might be interested, please feel free to forward to them.
Best, Matt

Dear Matt,
this is a great DH initiative on Islamic textual culture! I'm grateful you shared this job ad otherwise I wouldn't know about it. However I was surprised in noticing that none of the colleagues composing your senior advisors group and the external advisory board come from an Arabic/Persian/Islamic organization or institution. Actually the entire board (15 scholars) is made of people coming from US and UK institutions. Is that a deliberate choice or is something you're working on?
All the best
Domenico
