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!

Series: Digital Humanities - Theorie und Methodik "Data Literacy and Digital Humanities"
by Ulrike Fußbahn 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

Dear all, we like to re-invite you to the lecture “Data Transliteracy: Creativity and Cooperation across Knowledge Cultures” given by David Wrisley (NYU Abu Dhabi, UAE). The lecture will take place on TUESDAY 19 JANUARY 2021 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 David Wrisley will be available 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. 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.

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.

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. You can view the report from Day of DH 2020 here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uj7MWmsPKP78Jo4Wgpui9Xet_vd2NFiuhZbmyh3… <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uj7MWmsPKP7…>

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.

Renewed First Call for Papers: The 4th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature
by Nils Reiter 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

LaTeCH-CLfL 2020: The 4th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature to be held in conjunction with COLING 2020 in Barcelona https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-clfl-2020/ Renewed First Call for Papers (with apologies for cross-posting) Organisers: Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Anna Kazantseva, Nils Reiter, Stan Szpakowicz = = = = = = = = = = = = The main conference has been moved three months forward, and so has our workshop. It may not be a face-to-face meeting of the participants and the fans but let us not cross that bridge yet. Stay tuned. = = = = = = = = = = = = LaTeCH-CLfL 2020 is the fourth joint meeting of two communities with overlapping research goals and a similar research focus. The SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH) have been a forum for researchers who develop new technologies for improved information access to data from the broadly understood humanities and social sciences. The ACL Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) have focussed on applications of NLP to a wide variety of literary data. The first three joint workshop (LaTeCH-CLfL 2017, 2018 and 2019) brought together people from both communities. We count on this workshop to broaden the scope of our work even further, and to encourage new common research initiatives. Topics and content In the Humanities, Social Sciences, Cultural Heritage and literary communities, there is increasing interest in, and demand for, NLP methods for semantic and structural annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and secondary data. This is even true of primarily non-textual collections, given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such applications pose new challenges for NLP research: noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, vague research concepts, multilingual parts within one document, and so no. Digital resources often have insufficient coverage; resource-intensive methods require (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or intense manual effort (e.g., annotation). Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a certain period, author or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry. NLP methods applied in this context not only need to achieve high performance, but are often applied as a first step in research or scholarly workflow. That is why it is crucial to interpret model results properly; model interpretability might be more important than raw performance scores, depending on the context. More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models whose results can be used or interpreted in meaningful ways. It is, therefore, of mutual benefit that NLP experts, data specialists and Digital Humanities researchers who work in and across their domains get involved in the Computational Linguistics community and present their fundamental or applied research results. It has already been demonstrated how cross-disciplinary exchange not only supports work in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage communities but also promotes work in the Computational Linguistics community to build richer and more effective tools and models. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • adaptation of NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and literature; • automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; • complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; • creation (fully- or semi-automatic) of semantic resources; • creation and analysis of social networks of literary characters; • discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; • emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; • generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; • identification and analysis of literary genres; • linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; • modelling dialogue literary style for generation; • modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; • profiling and authorship attribution; • search for scientific and/or scholarly literature; • work with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language. Invited speaker The workshop will feature an invited talk, as usual. The speaker will be Professor Elke Teich. We expect, optimistically enough, that it will be an actual talk but it just may have to assume a remote guise... Information for authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. • Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references; final camera-ready versions of accepted long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. • A short paper / demo can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content plus additional pages of references. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. • A position paper — clearly marked as such — should not exceed six (6) pages including references. All submissions must adhere to the COLING stylesheets (for LaTeX and MS Word) posted at https://coling2020.org/coling2020.zip. Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF, at https://www.softconf.com/coling2020/LaTeCH-CLfL/. Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names, acknowledgements and so on — anything that immediately reveals the authors’ identity. Self-references should be kept to a reasonable minimum, and anonymous citations cannot be used. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, and later available in the ACL Anthology. Important dates Paper submission deadline: September 25, 2020 Notification of acceptance: October 26, 2020 Camera-ready papers due: November 1, 2020 (if possible, we will push the deadline several days forward) Workshop date: December 12, 2020 More on the organisers Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Language Science and Technology, Saarland University Anna Kazantseva, National Research Council of Canada Nils Reiter, Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), Stuttgart University Stan Szpakowicz, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa Contact latech-clfl(a)googlegroups.com

Fwd: Survey: DH conferences with WoS-Indexed Proceedings?
by Francesca Giovannetti 29 May '20

29 May '20

On behalf of Silvie Cinková: Dear colleagues, I apologize for unsolicited e-mail, but I will anyway hazard a question to you: how important is placing your publications in venues indexed in WoS/Scopus, actually? Would you like the major Digital Humanities conferences to publish all accepted papers in indexed proceedings or in a special issue of a well-indexed journal, say, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities? Do your grant providers or employers care? This has been a burning issue for me, since my national research evaluation system (Czechia) hardly considers other type of publications, in particular conference papers. This means that I cannot even report papers from the two major DH (ADHO, EADH) conferences as grant outputs anywhere. Is it a country- or discipline-specific problem, or a common one, so that it would deserve being raised with the conference organizers? Please help me find out by filling out a very short and anonymous form here: https://forms.gle/LB8NmgKFXegWfZVCA I am looking forward to your responses in the form or any feedback to me directly. Feel free to spread this message at your discretion. The form will stay open till end June 2020. Best regards, Silvie Cinkova -- Silvie Cinková, Ph.D. Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Charles University in Prague Malostranské nám. 25 118 00 Praha 1 Czech Republic Phone: +420 22191 4224 Mobile phone: +420 723 464 449 Web: http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/~cinkova

Uppsala University is hiring a Senior lecturer in Digital Humanities
by Isto Huvila 14 May '20

14 May '20

Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our mission is to pursue top-quality research and education and to interact constructively with society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has 46.000 students, 7.300 employees and a turnover of SEK 7.3 billion. In case of different interpretations of the English and Swedish versions of this announcement, the Swedish version takes precedence. The Department of ALM (Archival, Library & Information and Museum & Cultural Heritage Studies) offers the Master’s Programme in Archives, Library and Museum Studies (archival studies, library & information studies, and museum & cultural heritage studies) and the Master’s Programme in Digital Humanities (DH). Doctoral studies in information studies are also offered. The department currently has around 20 teachers and researchers and six doctoral students. The Faculty of Arts has appointed the Department of ALM to host the development of the digital humanities as a new field for interfaculty and interdisciplinary collaboration within research, education and infrastructure at Uppsala University. This initiative is currently in an expansive phase that includes a planned centre of expertise and research for research collaboration and infrastructure support within DH. The senior lectureship is linked to this initiative. Duties: The position includes research, teaching and examination primarily within the Master’s Programme in DH, but there will also be teaching and examination in the Master’s Programme in ALM. The teaching in the position entails a capability to elaborate on broad and inclusive perspectives on digital humanities in a manner that is theoretically profound and practice-oriented. Moreover, a capability to provide an in-depth understanding for and knowledge of how digital methods, digital source materials and digital research infrastructures impact knowledge production in the humanities, the operations of different cultural heritage institutions, and the applicability of humanities competences in working life. Duties include planning and implementing an integration of mutually relevant courses and course modules between the ALM and Digital Humanities master’s programmes. Teaching duties includes leading, planning, course responsibility, course administration and supervision. Supervision of doctoral students in information studies may also be included. Management duties may also be included. The duties in the position also include following developments in research within digital humanities, archival studies, library & information studies and museum & cultural heritage studies and society in general that have importance for work at the University and conducting both campus-based teaching and distance teaching online. Duties include collaboration with researchers specialised in the digital humanities both at Uppsala University and at other higher education institutions. Teaching is primarily in English but teaching in Swedish may occur. Applicants who do not speak Swedish are expected to learn Swedish as a work and teaching language within two years. Eligibility requirements: To be eligible for employment as a senior lecturer, applicants must have a doctoral degree in a social science or humanities discipline with direct relevance to the duties of the position, demonstrate educational expertise and have the personal characteristics required to perform the duties of the position well. Eligible applicants to a senior lectureship are to have relevant teaching experience from higher education. The applicant’s educational expertise, the scholarly expertise and the professional expertise must be relevant for the position’s subject content and duties. For educational expertise to be considered adequate, the applicant is to have had at least 10 weeks of training in teaching in higher education that is relevant for the field, or equivalent knowledge. In case of special circumstances, the training in teaching in higher education can be completed during the first two years of employment. Eligibility requires documented ability to teach in English. Assessment criteria: When selecting among eligible applicants, equal weight is given to both scholarly and educational expertise. Scholarly expertise: When assessing scholarly expertise, scholarly quality is the primary consideration. The scope of the research, particularly its depth and breadth, is also prioritised. The ability to plan, initiate, lead and develop research and education at the doctoral level, and demonstrated ability to conduct community outreach are considered important. Documented experience of applying for and receiving competitive research funding and demonstrated ability to cooperate on research is a desirable merit. Teaching expertise: When assessing teaching expertise, primary emphasis is on teaching quality. Teaching expertise is to be well documented. The scope of teaching expertise, both breadth and depth, are also considered. The ability to plan, initiate, lead and develop education and teaching, to supervise and conduct examinations on all levels, and to link teaching to research are given significance. Teaching expertise includes the ability to interact with actors within and outside of Uppsala University relating to teaching in higher education. Documented experience of teaching in Swedish is a merit. Equal care is devoted to assessing teaching expertise as to assessing scholarly expertise. It should be noted that the holder of the senior lectureship will have opportunities to participate in developing and influencing how DH is formulated at Uppsala University. Previous documented experience of multidisciplinary humanities research, teaching, and leading research within the field of digital humanities is therefore a merit. Documented experience of teaching, research and publications within the ALM disciplines, i.e. archival studies, library & information studies and museum & cultural heritage studies, is considered an advantage. Assessment criteria; other skills: Administrative expertise and management expertise are important for the position and are given significant weight. Administrative expertise can be demonstrated through ability to plan, organise and prioritise work effectively, to adapt work for the intended purpose, and to define and maintain time frames. The expertise includes overall organisational planning, the ability to manage resources in a way that reflects the organisation’s priorities and the ability to work in a structured way and with an awareness of goals and quality. Management expertise is demonstrated through the ability to lead organisations and staff, make decisions, take responsibility, and motivate and provide others with the conditions required to effectively achieve mutual goals. The ability to coordinate groups, to encourage commitment, inclusion and job satisfaction, and to manage conflicts are additional examples of demonstrated expertise. The ability to conduct outreach with the community and to share information about research and development will be considered. The ability to provide information about research and development is demonstrated through popular science activities, such as participating in informational activities, publishing popular science texts and participating in public debates on educational and research issues. Documented good collaborative skills are given particular weight. When hiring a new teacher, Uppsala University conducts a qualitative overall assessment of expertise and skills and choses the applicant judged to have the best potential to carry out and develop the relevant duties and to contribute to the positive development of the organisation. The recruitment committee may conduct interviews, evaluate trial lectures and contact references. For this reason, the applicant is to submit a list of references that can provide information on the applicant’s skills and personal characteristics relevant for the position, such as interpersonal skills, management skills, and the work methods the applicant uses. Personal circumstances (e.g. parental leave, part-time work due to care of children, union representative assignments, military service or similar) that can be counted to the applicant’s advantage when assessing qualifications should be included in the presentation of qualifications and experience. Application procedure: The complete application is to be submitted through Uppsala University’s recruitment system and include: • Application letter • Enclosure list • Curriculum vitae • Presentation of scholarly qualifications • Publication list • Presentation of teaching qualifications • Presentation of other qualifications • Scholarly and any teaching experience cited • List of references Please note that the applicant is expected to include up to five publications in the application.

LiLa-Linking Latin: Lemma Bank available
by Franzini Greta 20 Feb '20

20 Feb '20

**With apologies for cross-posting** We are glad to announce that the LEMMA BANK QUERY INTERFACE of the "LiLa: Linking Latin" ERC project is now online at: https://lila-erc.eu/query/ Users can query the LiLa collection of Latin lemmas, used to interconnect linguistic resources and tools with Linked Data technology, through a simple graphical interface. The Lemma Bank comprises 134,228 Lemma objects and 58,278 Hypolemma objects, as well as 4,224 lexical bases, 109 suffixes and 41 prefixes. Query results can be saved as a CSV file, visualized in the LOD View or LOD Live interfaces, and the underlying SPARQL code can be copied with a simple click. Users familiar with the SPARQL query language can also access the LiLa triplestore, which currently provides three end-points: Lemma Bank, Corpora ("Summa contra Gentiles" of the "Index Thomisticus Treebank") and lexicalResources (the "Brill Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the other Italic Languages"). Please note that both Corpora and lexical resources are work in progress. For details, please check the list of publications about LiLa available at https://lila-erc.eu/output/ For future updates, please follow LiLa's official website and social media accounts!
