ADHO Check In / Please Share
by Hannah Jacobs 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Dear All, I hope this note finds you well. First, can you please share the following with members of your organizations? https://adho.org/announcements/2021/call-nominations-2022-antonio-zampolli-…. Second, I very much appreciated our conversations at the end of 2020. One of the outcomes of those meetings was a commitment I made to checking in quarterly to see if you have any communications updates from your organizations that ADHO’s communications team can help to amplify. These check ins are also a time for me to provide any updates from ADHO that we’d appreciate your help disseminating. If you have news to share or would like to chat about communications generally, we can either have discussion on this email list or schedule a time to meet. If you’d like to meet on Zoom, let me know – I’d be very happy to arrange meetings with some or all members of this list. In addition to the Zampolli call for nominations linked above, there will be several other ADHO announcements to pass along in the coming month. All best wishes, Hannah --- Hannah L. Jacobs Digital Humanities Specialist, Wired!

DHSI-East: Databases (Nova Scotia, Canada, April 2021)
by Erin O'Neil 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hi there, please circulate to ADHO members! Thank you, erin --- Dear All, Registration is now open for DHSI-East: Databases. The course will run from 26-29 April at St Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. For more details, visit https://www2.mystfx.ca/digitalhumanities/dhsi-east Direct link to registration: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/dhsi-east-registration-139015518157 Our current plan is to have an in-person course with attendees from around the region. We recognize that course delivery mechanisms may have to change. If you plan to attend from beyond the region, please note that you will be expected to follow proper quarantining procedures before attending any in-person gathering. Social distancing, masks, and other precautions will be taken on-site. *Description* Databases are the driving engine behind a large number of classic and cutting-edge digital humanities applications. DH tasks -- such as wielding enormous GIS maps, aggregating the social media of wikis and blogs, building large archival repositories and even generating the semantic web -- all depend on some form of database. This course will introduce the inner workings of databases and demonstrate hands-on work with participants' own data sets to learn more about concepts like data normalization, relational table design, Structured Query Language (SQL), and effective long-term data management. *Participants need no prior experience with* *databases* *or programming.* At the end of the course, you will be able to laugh at this joke: An SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. It saunters over to them and asks, “May I join you?” DHSI-East is part of the international DH Training Network <https://dhsi.org/dh-training-network/>and takes its name from DHSI <https://dhsi.org/>, the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (University of Victoria). DHSI-East 2021 is supported by funding from the Harrison McCain Foundation Awards (Acadia University) and the Canada Research Chairs program. If you have any questions, please contact digitalhumanities(a)stfx.ca. Please circulate to any of your colleagues who might be interested. Sincerely, Laura On behalf of the DHSI-East Organizing Team Richard Cunningham, Laura Estill, Meghan Landry, Margaret Vail, and Lydia Vermeyden Dr. Laura Estill Canada Research Chair in Digital Humanities Associate Professor of English, St. Francis Xavier University Director, StFX Digital Humanities Centre <https://www2.mystfx.ca/digitalhumanities/users/digitalhumanities> Editor, *Early Modern Digital Review <http://emdr.itercommunity.org/>* -----

19 Jan '21

Hi Hannah! Could you share this with your ADHO lists? Thank you!! erin *CSDH/SCHN Conference 2021 Call for Papers* Remote, hosted from Edmonton, AB (May 30 - June 3, 2021) Événement en ligne accueilli par Edmonton, AB (30 mai - 3 juin 2021) *New Deadline / date limite : 31 January 2021* Note: DHSI@Congress will occur on Friday 4 June 2021. Remarque: DHSI@Congress aura lieu le vendredi 4 juin 2021. (Appel en français ci-dessous.) The Canadian Society for Digital Humanities (http://csdh-schn.org/) invites scholars, practitioners, and graduate students to submit proposals for papers, panels, digital demonstrations, and special 90-minute workshop “activities” for its annual meeting, which will be held remotely as part of the 2021 Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Alberta, from Sunday, May 30th to Thursday, June 3rd, 2021 ( https://congress2021.ca/). We encourage submissions on all topics relating to both theory and practice in the evolving field of the digital humanities. In addition to our regular open call for presentations, we are particularly interested in papers that address the Congress 2021 theme of “Northern Voices”: - How can Indigenous communities and knowledge transform DH research & scholarship? - What are existing or potential strategies to improve representation of marginalized or historically excluded groups in DH research & scholarship? - How have our remote activities during COVID changed the way that we approach the practices of, and the community of, digital humanities? - How can COVID-related developments help us better understand and engage “remote” communities that have historically been excluded from digital infrastructure? - More generally, what role can DH play in reconceptualizing how we think about communities and the various relationships between them? *Format.* In our remote format, each session will last an hour. Each presenter will post a paper or a slideshow or a video before the conference. Attendees to the conference will be expected to review the session materials beforehand. During the session, each presenter will have 2-5 minutes to summarize their work, after which a designated responder will provide general comments on all the work and who will lead off our more traditional question-and-answer format. *Activities.* This year, each of the five days of the conference will end with a 90-minute “activity,” led by an individual or a team, and we are also seeking proposals for inventive and clever group projects or collaborations such as workshops, hackfests, tutorials, games, creative practises (e.g. crafting, making) groups, or other ideas. Accepted proposals will be eligible to receive a $250 subvention to help offset any costs that leaders might incur as they strategize, organize, and implement their projects (e.g. Arduino kits, craft supplies, mailing materials to workshop participants). We encourage graduate students and emerging scholars to apply and we particularly encourage faculty members to mentor students and emerging scholars in these proposals. Activity proposals should be submitted via Google form to https://bit.ly/CSDHSCHN2021Activity. *The extended deadline is 31 January 2021.* Proposals for all other conference materials — papers (in a traditional 20 minute length), digital demonstrations, and panels (2-6 speakers for a 60-minute session) — should be submitted to https://www.conftool.net/csdh-schn-2021/. Submissions for all proposals will be accepted until *31 January 2021*. - Paper abstracts should be 500 words, and should specify your thesis, methodology and conclusions. - Panel proposals should have a brief introduction to the topic, a list of presenters, and a 250-500 word abstract for each paper. - Proposals for digital demonstrations of innovative projects or tools should be 250 words and should introduce the tool or project, the intended audience, and what stage of development the project is in. Organizers should give some thought to how they might like to balance asynchronous and synchronous components of their demonstrations. We encourage projects developing software to apply for this venue. Please note that all presenters and instructors must be members of CSDH/SCHN at the time of the conference. Scholars in the digital humanities are engaged in diverse digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation. CSDH/SCHN welcomes proposals from all constituencies and disciplines, and encourages applications from women, Indigenous people, people of colour, LGBTQ2+, or other underrepresented groups. Selected papers from the conference will appear in special collections published in the CSDH/SCHN society journal, *Digital Studies/Le champ numérique* (http://www.digitalstudies.org). 2021 Program committee: Harvey Quamen (program chair), Kim Martin, Matt Huculak, Julia Polyck-O’Neill, Erin O’Neil, and Lydia Zvyagintseva (local organizer). (français) Remarque: DHSI@Congress aura lieu le vendredi 4 juin 2021. La Société canadienne des humanités numériques (http://csdh-schn.org/) invite les chercheurs et chercheuses, les praticiens et praticiennes et les étudiant(e)s des cycles supérieurs à proposer des communications, des tables rondes, des démonstrations ou des ateliers d’activités de 90 minutes pour sa rencontre annuelle, qui aura lieu en ligne lors du Congrès 2021 des sciences humaines à l’Université d’Alberta du dimanche 30 mai au jeudi 3 juin 2021 (https://www.congress2021.ca/). Nous accueillons les propositions sur tous les sujets reliés à la théorie et à la pratique dans le champ des humanités numériques. Outre notre appel à communication ouvert, nous sommes particulièrement intéressés par des propositions qui rejoignent la thématique du Congrès 2021 sur les « voix du Nord ». - Comme les Communautés et les savoirs autochtones peuvent-ils transformer la recherche et l’enseignement des DH ? - Quelles sont les stratégies existantes ou potentielles pour améliorer la représentation des groupes marginalisés ou historiquement exclus dans la recherche et l’enseignement des DH ? - Comment nos activités en ligne durant l’épidémie de COVID ont changé la manière dont nous abordons les pratiques et la communauté des DH ? - Comment les développements relatifs à l’épidémie de COVID peuvent-ils nous aider à mieux comprendre et nous engager avec des communautés « distantes » qui ont été historiquement exclue des infrastructures de recherche ? - Plus généralement, quel rôle les DH peuvent-elles jouer dans notre manière de conceptualiser les communautés et les diverses relations entre elles ? *Format.* Dans notre format en ligne, les sessions dureront une heure. Chaque intervenante ou intervenant postera en ligne un article, une présentation ou une vidéo en amont de la conférence pour que les participantes et les participants puissent en prendre connaissance en amont des sessions. Au cours des séances, chaque présentateur disposera de 2 à 5 minutes pour résumer son travail, après lesquelles une ou un répondant désigné présentera des commentaires généraux sur l’ensemble des travaux puis animera une séance de questions-réponses plus traditionnelle. *Activities.* Cette année, chacune des cinq journées de la conférence se termineront par une activité de 90 minutes animée individuellement ou par une équipe. Nous cherchons également des propositions pour des projets de groupe ou de collaboration inventifs ou intelligents tels que des ateliers, des hackfests, des tutoriels, des jeux ou des pratiques créatives (p. ex. travail manuel, fabrication), ou toute autre idée. Les propositions acceptées bénéficieront d’une subvention de 250$ pour couvrir les coûts de mise en place et d’organisation que pourraient occasionner l’implémentation de cette activité (p. ex. Kits Arduino, fournitures de travaux manuels, matériel envoyé aux participantes et aux participants). Nous encourageons les étudiants gradués et les jeunes chercheurs à proposer leurs projets et nous encourageons en particulier les membres du personnel académique à soutenir leurs étudiants et étudiantes ou les chercheuses et les chercheurs émergeants dans de telles initiatives. Les propositions d’activités doivent être soumises via le formulaire Google suivant https://bit.ly/CSDHSCHN2021Activity. La date limite prolongée est le *31 janvier 2021*. Toutes les autres propositions de contenu pour la conférence — communications (d’une durée habituelle de 20 minutes), démonstrations numériques, et tables-rondes (de 2 à 6 intervenants pour une session de 60 minutes) — doivent être soumises à l’adresse suivante https://www.conftool.net/csdh-schn-2021/. Les propositions sont acceptées jusqu’au *31 janvier 2021*. - Les résumés de communication sont de 500 mots, et doivent présenter votre thèse, votre méthodologie et vos conclusions. - Les propositions de tables rondes comportent une brève introduction au sujet et une liste d’intervenants avec un résumé de 250 à 500 mots pour chacun d’entre eux. - Les propositions de démonstrations numériques de projets ou d’outils innovants font 250 mots et doivent présenter l’outil ou le projet, le public ciblé, et stade de développement du projet. Les organisateurs doivent indiquer la manière dont ils envisagent les composantes synchrones ou asynchrones de leur démonstration. Nous encourageons les projets qui développent des logiciels à candidater dans cette section. Notez que tous les intervenants devront être membres de la CSDH/SCHN au moment de la conférence. Les humanistes numériques sont impliqué(e)s dans diverses activités de recherche assistée par ordinateur, d’enseignement et de création en lien avec des ressources numériques. La CSDH/SCHN accueille favorablement les propositions provenant de toutes les parties prenantes et de toutes les disciplines, et en particulier celles des femmes, des Autochtones, des personnes de couleur, des personnes LGBTQ2+ et des autres membres de groupes sous-représentés. Une sélection des meilleures communications présentées lors de la conférence sera publiée dans *Digital Studies/Le champ numérique*, la revue savante de la CSDH/SCHN (http://www.digitalstudies.org).
