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@sas.ac.uk. ---- Seminar 2: DH broken - Between experimentation and degradation https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Freframing-failure-dh-broken-between-experimentation-and-degradation&data=05%7C01%7Cannamaria.sichani%40sas.ac.uk%7Ced601ebdf5254570445608daee7277b0%7C185280ba7a0042ea940819eafd13552e%7C0%7C0%7C638084472635966027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ai8wc6dqRXLMyhDMkLelq8C77XG4Z9tNv1Q4kMcXdaQ%3D&reserved=0 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.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Freframing-failure-rejected-failed-funding-bids-project-proposals-and-job-applications&data=05%7C01%7Cannamaria.sichani%40sas.ac.uk%7Ced601ebdf5254570445608daee7277b0%7C185280ba7a0042ea940819eafd13552e%7C0%7C0%7C638084472635966027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=C%2BeY46nsiewxSOdPCWXAx5VrS4YU2a2YlApZvCjAbZw%3D&reserved=0 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.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Freframing-failure-its-complicated-collaborations-and-partnerships&data=05%7C01%7Cannamaria.sichani%40sas.ac.uk%7Ced601ebdf5254570445608daee7277b0%7C185280ba7a0042ea940819eafd13552e%7C0%7C0%7C638084472635966027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nynT8YeClfAal2jmUS65hjDck15zeMydfG7QHabm0y8%3D&reserved=0 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.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Freframing-failure-communicating-failure&data=05%7C01%7Cannamaria.sichani%40sas.ac.uk%7Ced601ebdf5254570445608daee7277b0%7C185280ba7a0042ea940819eafd13552e%7C0%7C0%7C638084472635966027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=JRQhmMW0z%2FaI6LK8NtLelKU0DRxLoLSfn8Wvpugcghk%3D&reserved=0 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.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Freframing-failure-after-failure&data=05%7C01%7Cannamaria.sichani%40sas.ac.uk%7Ced601ebdf5254570445608daee7277b0%7C185280ba7a0042ea940819eafd13552e%7C0%7C0%7C638084472635966027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TybBmiizyf3WvX4SiRf3Y61gzy1HSCoybENfXWXD15g%3D&reserved=0 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?
