Dear all,
It is time for us to consider whether to continue ADHO's Communications
Fellows Program. I would like to *open discussion with this committee about
whether to continue the program over the next week. Therefore, could you
please respond to this email *
*with your thoughts by next Wednesday, April 6th?*
I have provided links below to more information about the program. My own
opinion is that the program, now in its second year, has been greatly
beneficial both to ADHO and to the individual fellows. Each year, two
fellows have worked closely with the Communications Chair to maintain an
active ADHO presence on the website and social media. Each cohort has
brought to ADHO creative ideas, enthusiasm for the community, and valuable
skills in languages, writing, social media, and design that have greatly
enhanced how we communicate with our members and with the wider digital
humanities community.
In return, the fellows have learned more about how an international
academic organization functions, have acquired new knowledge of the digital
humanities field, and have gained experiences in professional content
management and communication. This year, our fellows have added to ADHO's
regular communications activities by also designing slides and a brochures,
developing Twitter campaign for better engagement, and enhancing our
multilingual social media communications.
Over the past two years, ADHO has budgeted 1200 Euros per year (600 per
fellow) to support the program.
