Digital Humanities - Theorie und Methodik "Data Literacy and Digital Humanities"
by Ulrike Fußbahn 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Dear all, we like to reinvite you to the lecture “IMAGES AS DATA” held by CAROL CHIODO (HARVARD UNIVERSITY LIBRARY, CAMBRIDGE, USA) and LAUREN TILTON (UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, USA). The lecture will take place on Tuesday February 16th, 2020 from 5:15pm to 6:45pm (GMT +1) via Zoom. If you would like to attend this lecture, please sign up by using the following link: https://fdhl.info/theorie-und-methodik/ An abstract of the lecture and a short bio of Carol Chiodo and Lauren Tiltoncan be found in the calendar of events (https://fdhl.info/veranstaltungen/) of the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig. This lecture takes place within the context of the lecture series: DIGITAL HUMANITIES – THEORIE UND METHODIK “DATA LITERACY AND DIGITAL HUMANITIES” The digital universe is growing very fast and the amount of information contained in data is exploding. The mining of these data has ethical, social, and political consequences. In order to think through these consequences a new kind of literacy is needed, which could also be called ‘data literacy’ if we define it according to Chantel Ridsdale as “the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and apply data in a critical manner”. BUT HOW SHOULD WE TEACH DATA LITERACY IN THE HUMANITIES? The Digital Humanities are characterized by a cross-disciplinary and collaborative nature, by project orientation, hands-on practices and the use of cultural heritage data, and by the aim to integrate and create domain-specific knowledge with computational methods and tools while reflecting their application and use critically. As such Digital Humanities would seem to offer everything that students need to become not only literate in their specific Humanities field, but to acquire at the same time data literacy and skills like problem solving, computational and critical thinking. As the data which play a role in Digital Humanities are themselves multiform and comprise among other types visual, audio, geospatial, temporal, and statistical data, we can even say that by studying Digital Humanities students become meta- or transliterate and thus able to employ their knowledge, competencies and skills in very diverse social and professional domains. In order to support the claim that doing Digital Humanities involves becoming (meta- / trans-) data literate and to illustrate the acquisition of data literacy in diverse Humanities-specific courses offered at different levels of university education, we have brought together an international group of specialists.

Survey - What is your experience of Google Arts and Culture? - new study
by TERRAS Melissa 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

Dear EADH folks, (Apologies for cross posting, and I hope this is of interest to the list, given many of you work in/with the GLAM sector). Google Arts and Culture (GA&C) is now a major portal through which users can experience artworks and cultural artifacts from over 2000 galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM), from over 80 countries, worldwide. While the portal attracts large audiences, there has been next-to-no published research on the GLAM sector experience of GA&C. What is attractive about the platform to institutions? What benefits does it provide to the partner organisation? What was the experience of preparing and submitting material to GA&C? What issues are there regarding labour, permissions, copyright, and sustainability? What lasting effects will it have on the sector? We’re undertaking a study regarding the GLAM sector’s experience of GA&C, and perceptions of GA&C. We’re looking for those working within the sector to provide their anonymous opinion. We are asking for anonymous responses to give anyone in the GLAM sector freedom to comment. The survey will close on 15th Feb 2021. Take the survey: https://edinburgh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/google-arts-and-culture-the-glam-sect… (We’re aware that there are some issues with this in Chrome, but it works in other browsers). The survey should take 20 minutes, and we’ll write the results up into an academic article, which will be a follow up to our recently published paper "Digital cultural colonialism: measuring bias in aggregated digitized content held in Google Arts and Culture” (For an overview, see https://melissaterras.org/2021/01/18/new-paper-digital-cultural-colonialism…) I would appreciate if you could share this with colleagues, and we’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts and insights. Thank you!

Fwd: Fw: [Centernet] Call for Organizers for Day of DH 2021
by burr-eadh 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

*From:* Centernet <centernet-bounces(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org> on behalf of Mylonas, Elli <elli_mylonas(a)brown.edu> *Sent:* Wednesday, December 2, 2020 9:56 AM *To:* centernet <centernet(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org> *Subject:* [Centernet] Call for Organizers for Day of DH 2021 Each year, CenterNet organizes a #DayofDH event. This has taken a variety of forms, whether on Twitter, or through blogs, physical or—last year—virtual meetings, and more. We invite applications from digital humanities centers interested in forming an international team to organize Day of DH during the Spring of 2021. Last year, since everyone was working virtually because of COVID-19, meetups were arranged by time-zones; we had promotional Zoom backdrops and an Animal Crossing meetup, lectures, and a well-trafficked hashtag (#DayofDH2020). But we hope that you will bring your own ideas for the best ways to bring together the global community of digital humanists to celebrate the incredible range of ways and places that our work gets done. Day of DH offers the opportunity for centers and students to gain international visibility and expand their professional networks. We are particularly hoping to hear from centers who include opportunities for graduate student involvement in their plans. Teams will work with members of the CenterNet Executive Council to coordinate a day of programming. CenterNet can cover limited expenses. Please recirculate to your own networks, and send expressions of interest to cwillan(a)uh.edu <mailto:[email protected]> by December 31st, 2020.

Lecture Series: Digital Humanities - Theorie und Methodik "Data Literacy and Digital Humanities"
by Ulrike Fußbahn 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Dear all, we like to reinvite you to the lecture „THEORY AND PRAXIS: REED LONDON, DATA LITERACY, AND RESEARCH-BASED LEARNING“ HELD BY DIANE JAKACKI (Bucknell University, Lewisburg, USA). The lecture will take place on TUESDAY DECEMBER 8TH, 2020 FROM 5:15PM TO 6:45PM (GMT +1) VIA ZOOM. If you would like to attend this lecture, please sign up by using the following link: https://fdhl.info/theorie-und-methodik/ An abstract of the lecture and a short bio of Diane Jakacki can be found in the calendar of events (https://fdhl.info/veranstaltungen/) of the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig. This lecture takes place within the context of the lecture series: DIGITAL HUMANITIES – THEORIE UND METHODIK “DATA LITERACY AND DIGITAL HUMANITIES” The digital universe is growing very fast and the amount of information contained in data is exploding. The mining of these data has ethical, social, and political consequences. In order to think through these consequences a new kind of literacy is needed, which could also be called ‘data literacy’ if we define it according to Chantel Ridsdale as “the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and apply data in a critical manner”. BUT HOW SHOULD WE TEACH DATA LITERACY IN THE HUMANITIES? The Digital Humanities are characterised by a cross-disciplinary and collaborative nature, by project orientation, hands-on practices and the use of cultural heritage data, and by the aim to integrate and create domain-specific knowledge with computational methods and tools while reflecting their application and use critically. As such Digital Humanities would seem to offer everything that students need to become not only literate in their specific Humanities field, but to acquire at the same time data literacy and skills like problem solving, computational and critical thinking. As the data which play a role in Digital Humanities are themselves multiform and comprise among other types visual, audio, geospatial, temporal, and statistical data, we can even say that by studying Digital Humanities students become meta- or transliterate and thus able to employ their knowledge, competencies and skills in very diverse social and professional domains. In order to support the claim that doing Digital Humanities involves becoming (meta- / trans-) data literate and to illustrate the acquisition of data literacy in diverse Humanities-specific courses offered at different levels of university education, we have brought together an international group of specialists. PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME (see also https://fdhl.info/theorie-und-methodik/) - 8 DECEMBER 2020 Alex Bia (Universidad Miguel Hernández, Elche, Spain): “Data science and digital humanities: a feasible merge?” - 22 DECEMBER 2020 Diane Jakacki (Bucknell University, Lewisburg, USA): "Theory and Praxis: REED London, Data Literacy, and Research-Based Learning" - 19 JANUARY 2021 David Wrisley (NYU Abu Dhabi, UAE): “Data Transliteracy: Creativity and Cooperation across Knowledge Cultures” - 2 FEBRUARY 2021 Denis Arnold / Bernhard Fisseni (Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache, Mannheim, Germany): “(Digital) Research Data and Metadata” - 16 FEBRUARY 2021 Carol Chiodo (Harvard University Library, Cambridge, USA) / Lauren Tilton (University of Richmond, USA): “Images as Data” More lectures in 2021 will be announced soon. The lectures (including ample time for discussions) will be given virtually via Zoom EVERY OTHER TUESDAY FROM 5:15PM TO 6:45PM. The series starts on 8 December 2020. Interested participants are kindly asked to register here [1]at the latest by the Sunday before each event so that access data can be sent to them. The number of places is limited. The lecture series on “Data Literacy and Digital Humanities” is an integral part of the lecture series “Digital Humanities – Theorie und Methodik”, which was founded in the winter term 2014/15 by Elisabeth Burr with the aim to fill the term “Digital Humanities” with meaning by presenting the broader scholarly public with theoretical and methodological questions which play a role in Digital Humanities.

AHRC IRC UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Research Network 1st Workshop, 15 December
by Tupman, Charlotte 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Research Network Workshop: 'Capacity enhancement in DH: training and beyond' 15 December 2020 The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association<https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FV002163%2F1> (PIs: Prof. Jane Winters and Dr. Michelle Doran) is a network funded by the AHRC and IRC that brings together different stakeholders in Digital Humanities and related fields to consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression, among other key questions. Institutions and individuals engaged with the network will work to propose ways in which the UK and Ireland can build a collaborative vision for the field, and create new and sustainable long-term partnerships in alignment with the international community. The objectives of the workshop, organised for the network by King's Digital Lab, are the following: * Contribute to developing pathways to sustained, effective and widespread capacity-building for DH researchers in the UK and Ireland across disciplines, institutions and career stages. * Contribute to define specific pathways for training highly interdisciplinary humanists who are able to work across multiple sectors, including and beyond academia. * Contribute to the broad inclusion of communities beyond individuals based in research-performing organisations, including cultural heritage institutions, the arts and creative industries, and interested citizen scientists. * Provide opportunities for individual researchers to develop their skills and networks, and to contribute to international debates about the future of the field. * Consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression. The workshop discussions and findings will contribute to a discussion paper outlining capacity gaps in UK and Ireland digital humanities, with reference to the European and global contexts, and training strategies that could be used by a future UK-Ireland DH Association to resolve them.
