CfP SIG-DLS Workshop at DH2023
by Simone Rebora 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Dear all, To keep up the tradition, the SIG-DLS organizes a workshop at DH2023 in Graz. This year we have opened a Call for Papers and we are also offering two bursaries to outstanding papers by early stage researchers. Please spread the word as widely as possible! You can find the Call at this link ( https://dls.hypotheses.org/1315) and copy-pasted here below. All the best, Simone (for the SIG-DLS steering committee) === *DH2023 Workshop – SIG-DLS Seven Years on* Seven years have passed since the constitution of the ADHO Special Interest Group “Digital Literary Stylistics” (SIG-DLS). In the meantime, the research field has changed, with the advent of new methodologies (drawing on the constantly growing field of computational linguistics) and the affirmation of emerging theories and definitions (such as the modeling paradigm in “computational literary studies”). At the same time, some aspects and reference points have remained the same, such as the confirmed success of frequency-based approaches and the pivotal role of statistical methods. With this workshop, we would like to provide a renewed overview of the field of Digital Literary Stylistics, in ideal dialogue with the seminal workshop organized at DH2016, which allowed the constitution of the SIG-DLS. We therefore open a Call for Papers to all related areas of research, including (and not limited to): - understanding and improving “classic” stylometric methods (between Delta and Zeta) - stylometric feature engineering (character n-grams, words, syntax, and beyond) - integration with advanced language models (e.g. word embeddings and Transformer models) - identifying the source(s) of stylistic difference (from authors to genres, epochs, and beyond) - style annotations (e.g. phenomenological dimension of style, gestalt annotations) - style in different contexts (e.g. social media style, style of artificial agents) - style in translation, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural style comparisons - style as reader/text interaction - style and complexity - style and quality - tools, platforms and infrastructures for digital literary stylistics - (FAIR) development and sharing of corpora and collections To submit a contribution, please send a brief abstract (max 250 words) to simone.rebora(a)uni-mainz.de* by 16 April 2023.* All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the programme committee and notifications of acceptance will be sent by 30 April 2023. *SIG-DLS Bursary:* for this year, SIG-DLS offers two bursaries (275 Euros each) to outstanding papers presented by early stage researchers. If you intend to apply, please add a short letter of motivation to your submission. *Organising & programme committee* Simone Rebora (University of Mainz) Joanna Byszuk (Institute of Polish Language of the Polish Academy of Sciences) Francesca Frontini (Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale “A. Zampolli”, CNR Pisa) Berenike Herrmann (Bielefeld University, Basel University) Suzanne Mpouli (Paris Cité University) Pablo Ruiz Fabo (University of Strasbourg)

Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas Workshop @ DH2023
by Carola Carlino 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

*apologies for cross-postings* Please circulate this to all scholars who may be interested. We are happy to announce the first edition of DH4MA, the International workshop on tangible and intangible heritage digitization to promote marginal areas and rural development. Title DH4MA - (Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas) About The Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas (DH4MA) workshop aims to investigate the state of the art of tangible and intangible heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas and their accessibility. DH4MA will be held in conjunction with the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/> and is organized in the framework of the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. The digital divide issue affects several areas all over the world, including those that despite being part of the most developed countries, are behind the times of the digital revolution. Museums, libraries and centres of culture located in these areas often cannot foster their cultural heritage. In light of the above, Digital Humanities (DH) techniques represent an opportunity not to be missed to raise awareness of their cultural heritage and to overcome the digital divide. The consciousness of the digital divide, poor visibility and the need to improve communication strategies emerged during the covid-19 lockdown, when several cultural institutions made their cultural heritage available online (Cicerchia et al., 2021; Agostino et al., 2020; Fresh, 2021), allowing people to enjoy it in a new different way (e.g. Guggenheim Museum of New York <https://www.guggenheim.org/group-visits>, The Paul Getty Museum of Los Angeles <https://artsandculture.google.com/streetview/the-j-paul-getty-museum/cwFdGY…>, The Uffizi Gallery of Florence <https://www.virtualuffizi.com/map-%26-virtual-tour.html>, The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam <https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close>). Nevertheless, small centres of culture were not able to offer their collections online. Only a few of them were able to make a real revolution (Roblek et al., 2021), also by exploiting cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines (e.g. computer science and librarians, humanists and game creators) to promote tangible and intangible heritage. Topics of interest Relevant topics for the DH4MA workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Cultural heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas; - Best practices to reduce the digital divide in marginal and rural areas; - Investigation and evaluation of the degree of digitization in marginal and rural areas; - DH techniques to promote cultural heritage; - Promoting cultural heritage through gamification techniques; - Research cooperation between people/teams with different expertise to promote cultural heritage; - Research projects aiming to reduce the digital divide; - Research projects aimed at promoting cultural heritage through cooperation between scholars and local associations Research questions Bringing together scholars dealing with different research fields, the DH4MA aims to answer (not only) the following questions: - Do exist examples of tangible and intangible heritage digitization that can be defined as best practices? - Which are the best strategies implemented at the global level to reduce the digital divide between marginal and rural areas and most developed areas? - Which are the best examples of cultural heritage promotion through the collaboration between people/teams with different backgrounds? - Is it possible to consider cultural heritage promotion through DH techniques as an opportunity to fight the depopulation phenomenon? How? Submission instructions Contributions must be submitted in English and represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Contributions will be evaluated by the Program Committee according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the DH4MA workshop. Contributions must be sent via email at dhformarginalareas(a)gmail.com by Wednesday, 12th April 2023 and must not exceed 1,500 words in length (not including the bibliography). The publication of a selection of contributions from the DH4MA workshop is planned. After the workshop, authors of the selected contributions will be asked to send an extended version. Further details on the publication will follow soon. Submissions will be evaluated based on - Reviewers’ general recommendation for acceptance; - Level of innovation of the contribution to DH subject area(s); - Appropriateness of the state of the art presented (including a bibliography); - Clarity and appropriateness of the research methodology described; - Clear and comprehensible submission Venue The DH4MA workshop will take place on-site at the University of Graz, Austria, in the framework of the DH2023 conference <https://dh2023.adho.org/>. Further details on the venue will follow soon. Best contribution award The contribution presenting the best use of DH techniques to promote cultural heritage in marginal and rural areas will be rewarded. The prize is sponsored by the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project <https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>. All the Program Committee members will have the right to vote for the best contribution. Important dates Submission deadline - 12 April 2023 Notification of acceptance - 3 May 2023 Workshop - 10 or 11 July 2023 (TBA) In line with the DH2023 conference theme (i.e. Collaboration as opportunity), contributions presenting successful cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines to promote cultural heritage are highly requested. As workshop organizers, we will ensure a welcoming, antiracist, anti discriminatory and inclusive environment in full respect of human beings.

Call for Proposals: Encoding Cultures – joint MEC and TEI Conference 2023
by Martin Holmes 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

[With apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely] We are pleased to announce a call for papers, posters, panels, and workshops for “Encoding Cultures,” a joint conference of the annual Music Encoding Conference and Text Encoding Initiative Members’ Meeting. The conference will be held 5–8 September 2023 (Tue-Fri) at Paderborn University, Germany, with pre-conference workshops 4–5 September 2023 (Mon-Tue). This event brings together, for the first time, the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) and Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) communities, both of which are involved in the digitization and encoding of cultural heritage artifacts. While musical and textual artifacts have fundamental differences, there are many overlapping approaches in regard to data modeling, encoding theory, and digital publication. MEI and TEI also share technical tools and services, as both XML vocabularies are formally expressed using TEI's customization and documentation language. The conference topic is Encoding Cultures, understood both as the encoding of multiple cultures and cultural outputs as well as the variety of encoding cultures that exist within and across our communities. Encoding Cultures will be the 23rd annual meeting of the TEI community and the 11th annual Music Encoding Conference, a cross-disciplinary venue for the MEI community and all who are interested in the digital representation of music. The deadline for submissions is April 16, 2023. Please find more information and the text of the full Call for Proposals at https://teimec2023.uni-paderborn.de/cfp.html. We look forward to seeing you in Paderborn!

Anyone to share scans of Italian or English handwritten text for my DH class? We transcribe!
by Silvie Cinkova 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

Dear colleagues, w ould any of you be able to give me or point me to scans of handwritten English or Italian texts? I happen to teach a [ https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/courses/npfl134 | 4EU+ class ] , where they are going to mess around with Transkribus. T his year the group mysteriously consists purely of Italians from the University of Milan. As I understood, they are economists and social scientists rather than historians, so the texts should preferably not be extremely old and illegible. It does not have to be much, 50-100 pages in total would be great. Since that teaching project was originally set up with Frenchmen, we have plenty of French data, apart from Czech, German, and Russian, but I can't expect the Italians to know these languages well enough. Any hints welcome. We will gladly give the transcriptions back to help a project! Silvie -- Mgr.

Online seminar today: Building an intelligent online library at Arcanum
by Gabriel Bodard 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

Material Digital Humanities seminar (London and Cluj-Napoca) 2023 (online) Building an intelligent online library at Arcanum Előd Biszak (Budapest) Arcanum was founded in 1989. In the last 3 decades it has proven itself to be one of the major players in digitizing cultural heritage in Central Europe. Our philosophy is that digitization does not end with having digital reproduction. Analyzing the digital content with modern AI tools plays a huge role when creating a sophisticated easy-to-use search engine. Our workflow includes technologies like automatic newspaper segmentation, OCR-correction, named-entity recognition and face search. It lets the users research our digital library in ways that have not been really possible before. After creating the most prominent digital library in Hungary, we are extending our technologies and content to Romania hoping to create an indispensable tool in the field of Romanian cultural heritage. The Material Digital Humanities seminar is co-hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub, University of London, UK, and Star-UBB Institute of Advanced Studies(Opens in new window), University Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj Napoca, Romania. All welcome. This event is free to attend, but booking is required. https://www.sas.ac.uk/events/building-intelligent-online-library-arcanum

by Amy Kirchhoff 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hello all ~ I hope the new year is treating everyone well. I like the fresh start aspects of the New Year, but it has been a busy one! I wanted to let folks know that Constellate is running some introductory text-analysis webinars this month. (Constellate is a new text analysis service from ITHAKA that includes clear learning paths, the ability to easily build data sets using content from JSTOR, Portico and partners, and a lab where you can practice using popular and widely available tools and techniques for text and data analysis.) While the ability to use Constellate for teaching and learning is limited to participating institutions, anyone in the world may create and download datasets from Constellate. Our text analysis webinars in February will discuss some useful text analysis concepts (these are similar to the ones we ran last summer during our Open Summer of Text Analysis): * What can you do with Word Counts?<https://constellate.org/events/what-can-you-do-with-word-counts-2>: One session webinar on Wednesday, February 8. * How to Build a Good Dataset<https://constellate.org/events/how-to-build-a-good-dataset>: One session webinar on Wednesday, February 15. I’d love to have you attend, if you are interested. Happy start to the semester! ~ Amy -- Amy J.

[Call for abstracts] Museum Analytics, new directions - deadline 20 Jan
by Andrea Ballatore 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

📢 Call for abstracts: https://kingsdh.net/museum-analytics/ 🐦 Tweet: https://twitter.com/kingsdh/status/1592082797610647552 💡 Organisers: Dr. Andrea Ballatore, King’s College London, UK • Dr. Jamie Larkin, Chapman University, CA 🌎 Location (hybrid): King’s College London (The Strand, London, UK) and online ⏰ Submission deadline: Friday 20 January 2023 🗓 Event date: Thursday 18 May 2023 Museum Analytics: New directions Call for abstracts Data science has the capacity to revitalise our understanding of the museum sector, through reframing the history of museum development, charting museum geographies, and highlighting new data relationships in innovative and dynamic ways (e.g. Ballatore & Candlin, 2022). It can also illuminate broader relationships between museums, society, and the wider Creative and Cultural Industries (e.g. Me|Mind, 2021), to help produce more joined-up cultural policy and strategy (Centre for Cultural Value, 2022). The application of data analytics presents growing opportunities for institutions and researchers across the cultural sector. While museums often use data to develop visitor profiles and drive income generation, there is tremendous scope to leverage data in ways that reimagine the cultural work of the museum and knowledge of the museum sector. Within museums, work has taken place to use data to enhance curatorial decision-making (Tate, 2016), to personalise collections databases (Noehrer et al., 2022), and to enrich and improve visitor experiences (e.g. Villaespesa & Murphy, 2021). Stemming from the Mapping Museums project (http://www.mappingmuseums.org<http://www.mappingmuseums.org/>), this one-day conference seeks to draw together museum studies scholars, data scientists, cultural policymakers, and geographers to discuss and debate the role and scope of museum analytics and to frame the development of this area of research and practice. We seek presentations of 15 minutes that examine new directions and applications for museum analytics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Applications of data analytics in new areas of museum practice * Innovative data collection methods in museums * Social media analytics and user-generated content * New methods for audience analytics and profiling * Data-driven museum marketing * Artificial intelligence (AI) and museums * Ethical considerations surrounding data practices and datafication in museums * Innovative data applications in digital museum contexts * Museum analytics and cultural policy * Data vocabularies and linked data for museums * Data infrastructures and capacity across the museum sector * Quantitative geographies and histories of museums * History of data science methods to study museums Please send an abstract of c300 words outlining your proposed contribution by 20th January 2023 by using this form: https://forms.office.com/r/EYEBFMUdkY Decisions on abstracts will be made by 20 February 2023. We will select abstracts in terms of relevance and originality, also considering the balance between in-person and online speakers. The objectives of the event include the development and promotion of a sector-wide agenda and, more modestly, a special issue in an international journal. The event will be free to all participants, in person and online (£0).

[CFP] Second International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge @ TheWebConf 2023
by Albert Meroño Peñuela 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Call for Papers Second International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge in conjunction with TheWebConf 2023 https://odeuropa.github.io/mdk/ Important dates: - Workshop papers submissions - 6 February, 2023 - 23:59 AOE - Notification - 6 March, 2023 - Camera Ready Submission - 20 March, 2023 - Workshop Day - 1 or 2 May, 2023 Motivations: Our senses are the gateways to our memories and emotions. However, they are under-represented in language technology and semantic web research. In this workshop, two recently awarded H2020 projects, Odeuropa and Polifonia, are teaming up to advance our understanding of how smells and music are represented in texts and structured data. The topics we want to address revolve around extracting references to smells, music, context, and visual information from text as well as relevant data describing their cultural, historical and political context, and model them in the form of interlinked knowledge graphs. This research has a strong interdisciplinary character, hence the workshop has the potential to attract researchers from diverse disciplines from both social sciences and humanities and computer science. Its potential impact is significant to many application areas including: preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage, data-driven policy making in cultural heritage, urban planning, artistic performances, applications for scholars in musicology and history, applications for museums, innovation in teaching, maintenance and exploitation of large catalogues, archives and libraries. We aim at creating a reference venue where new ideas and results can be shared and lead the way towards a technological and cultural shift in how we understand and experience our cultural heritage. Topics of interest: The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Olfactory, musical and visual information extraction from text Olfactory, musical and visual knowledge representation Resources for olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Extraction of socio-cultural and historical context information from text Extraction of time, space, events, people and (musical, olfactory and visual) artifacts from text Knowledge graphs integrating olfactory, musical and visual knowledge Multilingual text corpora on musical and olfactory heritage Automatic and semi-automatic generation of language descriptions of sensory experience Methods and approaches to represent degrees of sensorial experiences (e.g. intensity, dissipation) Applications for teaching/training/valorisation of multisensory data and knowledge Submission: We solicit submissions of long and short papers covering a wide range of NLP and semantic web topics dealing with the extraction and analysis of information from multisensory data. Papers presenting collaborations among researchers with different backgrounds or from different research communities are particularly welcome. All submissions must be in PDF and written in English, single-blind and formatted in the style of the ACM template and format as the main TheWebConf 2023 conference (see the instruction for authors). Workshop papers should not exceed 12 pages in length (maximum 8 pages for the main paper content + maximum 2 pages for appendixes + maximum 2 pages for references). Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to the ACM template published in the ACM guidelines, selecting the generic “sigconf” sample. The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Workshop papers must be self-contained and in English. The MDK 2023 proceedings will be published in the conference’s companion volume. The submission web site is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=thewebconf2023iwpd (select ‘‘2nd International Workshop on Multisensory Data and Knowledge (MDK)’’ when creating a new submission). For any questions, please feel free to contact the organisers directly, or via thewebconf2023companion(a)easychair.org.

DHRH Seminar series, School of Advanced Study, University of London | 'Reframing failure'
by Anna-Maria Sichani 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hi all, I’m writing to share registration details for the remaining DHRH seminar sessions of the Reframing Failure series. If you’d like to attend, please register so that you can receive the correct Zoom details. All are welcome! ---- Reframing Failure Seminar Series Most of us recognise that failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour - let alone life - especially for people who work across disciplines. Yet, for something so central to our experience, it often sits at the periphery of our writing, training, and professional discourse. The Reframing Failure seminar series explores how we can reframe failure within the digital humanities: the ways we can learn from it, talk about it, and hopefully reconsider our collective relationship to it. Conceived as a series of conversations, Reframing Failure presents an opportunity to reflect on practice. It welcomes those from within and outside the digital humanities and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to failure. Reframing Failure is a virtual seminar series hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub <https://www.sas.ac.uk/digital-humanities> at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. If you have any questions about the series, please email the facilitators Anna-Maria Sichani and Michael Donnay at digitalhumanities(a)sas.ac.uk. ---- Seminar 2: DH broken - Between experimentation and degradation <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Wednesday 25 January 2023 at 17:00 GMT In digital humanities, things break. All the time. Whether a project has come to the end of its life or is an early prototype, ‘brokenness’ is something digital humanities practitioners will need to address. What can we learn from these encounters with brokenness and how can that shape future projects? Panellists include: - Jenny Mitcham (Digital Preservation Coalition) - Arianna Ciula (King's Digital Lab) - Sara Namusoga-Kaale (Makere University) - Frances Corry (University of Pennsylvania) - Jentery Sayers (University of Victoria) - Jane Winters (School of Advanced Study) - Chair Seminar 3: Rejected - failed funding bids, project proposals and job applications <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Wednesday 8 March 2023 at 17:00 GMT Rejection is an essential part of the current academic landscape and everyone has a collection of failed funding bids, project proposals and job applications. What can we learn from these rejections? Panellists include: - Lauren Tuckley (Georgetown University) - Naomi Wells (School of Advanced Study) - Additional speakers to be announced. Seminar 4: It’s complicated: collaborations and partnerships <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Thursday 23 March 2023 at 17:00 GMT A common challenge for digital humanities projects - and a place where many stumble - is managing collaborations across disciplines, cultures, and communities of practice. These differences raise questions of translation, inclusivity, and workplace norms for digital humanities practitioners. Panellists include: - Ruth Ahnert (Queen Mary University of London) - Helen Graham (University of Leeds) - Arran Rees (University of Leeds) - Emma Jaster (Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics) - Daniela Major (School of Advanced Study) - Caio Mello (School of Advanced Study) - Jennifer Stertzer (University of Virginia) Seminar 5: Communicating failure <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Thursday 11 May 2023 at 17:00 GMT Failure can be challenging to talk about, especially in the formal publication venues that count for researcher’s career advancement. What can we do to expose the ‘messiness’ of digital research when we discuss our work? Panellists include: - Britt Amell (Carleton University) - Nabeel Siddiqui (Susquehanna University) - Janneke Adema (Coventry University) - Gabby Boddard (School of Advanced Study) - Annika Rockenberger (University of Oslo) Seminar 6: After failure <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.a…> Tuesday 23 May 2023 at 17:00 GMT If failure forms an essential part of scholarly practice, what comes after failure? How can national organisations encourage failing productively? Are there alternative approaches to research, such as ‘slow scholarship’ or ‘failure as methodology’, that can be integrated into our own research methods? Panellists include: - Lisa Goddard (University of Victoria) - Scott B. Weingart - David Stevenson (Queen Mary University of London) - Joris van Zundert (Huygens - KNAW) -- *Dr. Anna-Maria Sichani* *Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Digital Humanities | The Congruence Engine: Digital Tools for New Collections-Based Industrial Histories (TaNC-AHRC)* *Digital Humanities Research Hub | **School of Advanced Study , University of London* *UKRI Policy and Engagement Fellow in Digital Research and Innovation Infrastructure* *Editor, The Programming Historian* *Director, ProgHist Ltd. | **ProgHist Ltd is a charity registered in England and Wales (1195875) and incorporated in England and Wales as a company limited by guarantee (12192946).* *programminghistorian.org/ <http://programminghistorian.org/>* @amsichani <https://twitter.com/amsichani> amsichani.github.io *Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail* ** Please note that although my working pattern means that I might send you an email outside of normal office hours, I do not expect a response outside the hours of your own working pattern. * *

ANNOUNCING THE SECOND CLS INFRA TRAINING SCHOOL Digging for Gold: Knowledge Extraction from Text UNED, Madrid 9-11 May 2023 https://clsinfra.io/events/training-school/ Eager to kick start your research in Digital Humanities and Computational Literary Studies? Join CLS INFRA in Madrid for our three day international Training School in Knowledge Extraction from Text. From 9-11 May 2023, we will offer a crash course in how to "Dig for Gold" in a corpus of texts. From Stylometry to Natural Language Processing, you will be completing your own analyses and visualizing the results in a hands-on way. We will work with existing code that is plug and play, so it is not necessary to have existing experience in Python or R. Most of all, it will be a fun and safe environment to boost your textual analysis skills. You'll be surprised what precious information you can extract from your own data set! For full details on the Madrid Training School, including a provisional schedule and registration information, visit https://clsinfra.io/events/training-school/ and follow us on Twitter for further updates at @clsinfra. To get a flavour of CLS INFRA Training Schools, see recordings from our 2022 Prague Training School on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@clsinfra6863) and browse full learning materials from Prague on DARIAH-Campus (https://campus.dariah.eu/resource/events/cls-infra-training-school-on-data-…) Computational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS INFRA) has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004984. -- Dr Justin Tonra Lecturer, School of English & Creative Arts Course Director, MA Literature & Publishing University of Galway

Dear colleagues, allow me to share this call for participation with you: Computer Vision has become a very relevant skill for many Digital Humanists, but it is hard to distinguish how we can best budget our time and efforts to engage with this new technology. The 3-day school "Computer Vision for Digital Humanists" - hosted by the Centre for Information Modelling at the University of Graz and funded by CLARIAH-AT - will provide a conceptual introduction to the processes involved, coupled with hands-on exercises that focus on the ways that we, as humanists, can curate content and manage metadata to make the best use of new tools available. For further information, see https://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/en/institute/events/call-for-p… and https://static.uni-graz.at/fileadmin/gewi-zentren/Informationsmodellierung/… . How to apply: To be considered for participation in this workshop please submit a one page CV and letter of interest (one page max.) addressing the following: * Why are you interested in attending this workshop? * How will the skills learned improve your scholarship? * What is your academic background and research specialization? * Do you have access to funding for travel to Graz and accommodation? Application materials can be emailed to sean.winslow(a)uni-graz.at<mailto:[email protected]> The application deadline is 6. January 2023. The School itself will be hosted on-site at the University of Graz, February 8-10, 2023.
