Conferences – DH @ Ramapo College of New Jersey

Digitorium 2020

The University of Alabama University Libraries is proud to announce the annual Digital Humanities Conference, Digitorium, will be held October 1-3, 2020. The conference, hosted by the University of Alabama Libraries and the Alabama Digital Humanities Center, will be entirely virtual for the first time this year. In an unprecedented time when digital literacies are critically important, Digitorium represents a timely opportunity for faculty, practitioners, and students to learn what’s possible with Digital Humanities (DH) methods and pedagogy. This year, we will offer several workshops that can help build DH skills, with tools such as Nvivo, Orange, 360 videos in VR, and Twine.

While we are disappointed that we won’t be able to meet in person, we’re looking forward to providing an opportunity for faculty, practitioners, and students worldwide to engage with discussions on Digital Humanities, hear from innovative scholars in the field, and to learn new skills through virtual workshops.

Registration is $25.00 and opens August 16^th, 2020.

For more information regarding our schedule, plenaries, and registration, please visit the Digitorium site.

Project Management in the Humanities (Virtual Conference)

From the Great Folks at DHSI!

Project Management in the Humanities (6 June): The Project Management in the Humanities virtual conference will be held on Saturday, June 6. Due to increasingly collaborative interdisciplinary projects, many humanities scholars find themselves as “instant” or “accidental” managers. They are leading teams of researchers from a variety of disciplines, research assistants, librarians and others as well as managing financial and other resources. This raises questions for exploration with regard to the application of project management in the humanities generally and digital humanities more specifically. This virtual conference will examine these questions through papers, presentations and a Twitter discussion. Please register (free) for the conference here.

Global Digital Humanities Symposium – Call for Proposals

Call for Proposals
Deadline: November 1
Proposal form
Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH (msuglobaldh.org) into its fifth year, on March 26-27, 2020. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of MSU’s Cultural Heritage Informatics Program, we particularly encourage proposals along that theme, but as always we strive to showcase DH work in all its forms.

Alongside the expansion of digital humanities in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, endangered data, and the digital divide. DH communities have raised and responded to these issues, pushing the field forward. This symposium is an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Additionally, we define the term “humanities” rather broadly to incorporate the discussion of issues that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of the humanities.

Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism, intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial frameworks to participate.

This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by Friday, November 1, midnight in your timezone:

• Critical cultural studies and analytics
• Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western
• DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement
• Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance, especially in a postcolonial context
• How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work
• Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital humanities community
• Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital
• Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism
• Global digital pedagogies
• Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital
• Digital and global languages and literatures
• Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change
• Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies
• Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context
• Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context
• Productive failure

Presentation Formats:

• 5-minute lightning talk
• 15-minute presentation
• 90-minute workshop
• 90-minute panel
