Dear all, I missed this meeting—and wondered if there is interest in collaborating.  I heard from a colleague, Alix Keener, who is now at Stanford: https://cesta.stanford.edu/news/cesta-cidr-welcome-alix-keener

I began to wonder whether we could extend the DH ckg to  Stanford DH folks: where Quinn and Pete Broadwell are also located.  The geospatial UC CKG includes Stanford; I can look into how that was arranged/negotiated.

In any case—hoping to hear how others in this group are faring in these tumultuous times.  —Zoe

I’m going to offer a time, 5/14 at 12 noon PST and a zoom link: https://uci.zoom.us/my/tatiana.bryant



If this doesn’t work I can send a doodle poll.

Special Announcement:

Day of DH 2021<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=1a8c13d525&e=9fe8fa18ad>| Thursday, April 29, 2021<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=1e4a434037&e=9fe8fa18ad>

Hosted by UCLA, Loyola Univ. Chicago, Univ. of Guelph in Canada, and Univ. del Piedmont Orientale in Italy

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities is an event where digital humanists from around the world document what they do. Day of DH began in 2009, at the University of Alberta and has been hosted by other institutions since that time. Day of DH has also been adopted by specific language communities that extend beyond national borders. For example, a Spanish language day has been held and potentially a Francophone day.
Day of DH 2021 will take place on April 29. The organizing committee this year is led by Loyola University Chicago and UCLA in USA, University of Guelph in Canada, and Università del Piedmont Orientale in Italy. Our theme this year is multilingual DH, and Digital Humanists from all corners of the world are encouraged to share their work not just on Twitter (as always!) but also Instagram, with the hashtag #dayofdh2021. We aim to open up conversation about projects being undertaken in the various languages and put together a list of non-English tools, libraries, software products, tips, hacks, and resources available for researchers and institutions. Over the next few weeks, we will update the website with resources, events, and more. Keep an eye out, and for queries, please DM any university on the organizing committee on Twitter.

Calls for Proposals


CFP: Connections: A Journal of Language, Media and Culture<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=eb7537322c&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Deadline: April 25, 2021

Connections: A Journal of Language, Media, and Culture invites high-quality research submissions for their 2021 publication. Connections is committed to elevating and supporting graduate-level and early-career research from interdisciplinary subject areas. Our second issue will center on the theme of building bridges: maintaining connections found at the heart of cultural, multimedia, textual, or language-based interactions in times of crisis. Building bridges in times of crisis may look like community-building, resilience, protest, growth, or care work. We hope this theme will allow for nuanced interpretation. The journal welcomes original research manuscripts and creative works in a variety of languages from graduate students and early-career scholars throughout the world, including scholars working with non-normative or counter-hegemonic forms of research (i.e. research creation).


CFP: Distant Communications Conference | RHS<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=997eccc028&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Deadline: April 30, 2021

The project seeks to promote the study of the social and cultural history of communication from local and global perspectives, and within a broad chronological framework as we believe that a fuller understanding of communicating across distance is needed. We think the current restrictions we are all facing around day to day contact due to COVID-19 need to be fully historicised and integrated into a longer timeline of social and cultural communication. This might include, for instance, studies of the telegram in wartime Britain, letter-writing in white settler colonies, or graffiti of the early modern period, to name a few areas of interest here.
Proposals for 20-minute papers are invited for this interdisciplinary conference for any historical period or geographical location.


CFP: Digital Matters: Designing/Performing Agency in the Anthropocene | <https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=bbb317312f&e=9fe8fa18ad> 25th Digital Research in the Humanities and Arts Conference at the Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=32f3cf6c7b&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Deadline: May 15, 2021

Taking place from September 5-7, 2021 in Berlin, the 25th Digital Research in Humanities and Arts conference invites contributions and interventions that focus on such transfers and interactions between digital and natural environments. Digital Matters takes on the challenge to explore new material and multi-species agencies, forms of embodiment, and interactions between the performing arts, the humanities and the natural sciences that engage the sense of relationality and expanded scale that the Anthropocene affords. We welcome contributions that create a sustained encounter between designers, hackers, performers, artists, and philologists to examine how these emerging ways of communicating and creating proximity and solidarity across distance can shape new responses to conceptualising life in and beyond the Anthropocene. Conference will be held in a hybrid online and in-person format.


Call for Proposals - DLF Forum 2021 & Learn at DLF<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=884009bd2b&e=9fe8fa18ad>

CFP: Digital Preservation 2021 Embracing Digitality<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=276515eaf7&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Deadline: May 17, 2021

The National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) invites proposals for Digital Preservation 2021: Embracing Digitality (#DigiPres21) to be held ONLINE this year on November 4th.
Digitality - the experience of living in a digital culture - has been accelerated by the global pandemic, shifting how we think, work, and exist in digital spaces. Digital stewardship professionals have demonstrated that we are able to respond creatively to the preservation, discovery, and access of information beyond the physical environment. How does the advancement of digitality expand the landscape of possibilities for people, systems, the environment, and the world? What opportunities have we gained, and what must we be wary of losing? How can we best position our profession to embrace digitality and intentionally develop strategies, tools, and practices that move us forward as a community? How can we foster partnerships with other professional backgrounds to join us in this effort?


CFP: JADH2021: “Digital Humanities and COVID-19” | Japanese Association for Digital Humanities<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=ceb38d79f1&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Deadline: June 7, 2021

The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities (JADH) is pleased to announce its 11th annual conference, to be hosted virtually by the Historiographical Institute, The University of Tokyo on September 6-8, 2021, around 9am to 6pm in Japanese Standard Time. We invite proposals on all aspects of Digital Humanities, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, organizations, and so on, as related to the field of Digital Humanities. During the pandemic, researchers have also been affected in various aspects. However, the digital environment has been instrumental in alleviating some of the hardships. Overall the contribution to DH has been positive, since much of the digital research environment was in place before the pandemic. Moreover, DH-related research may help to improve this difficult situation. Therefore, we welcome presentations related to the theme of Digital Humanities and COVID-19. Although this is one suggested focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics, detailed on our website. Abstracts submitted should be of 500-1000 words in length in English, including the title.

UCLA's Safiya Noble: Algorithms of Oppression – GA:P Events Series - Rotman School of Management<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=2cc755b74f&e=9fe8fa18ad>
April 28, 2021 @ 4:00-5:00pm PST

In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color.

Through an analysis of textual and media searches as well as extensive research on paid online advertising, Noble exposes a culture of racism and sexism in the way discoverability is created online. As search engines and their related companies grow in importance—operating as a source for email, a major vehicle for primary and secondary school learning, and beyond—understanding and reversing these disquieting trends and discriminatory practices is of utmost importance. An original, surprising and, at times, disturbing account of bias on the internet, Algorithms of Oppression contributes to our understanding of how racism is created, maintained, and disseminated in the 21st century.

July 7, 2021 @ 12:00-5:30 GMT

New digital humanities project, AEOLIAN (Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Organisations). The project is funded by the New Directions for Digital Scholarship grant from the US National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). AEOLIAN is designed to investigate the role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play to make born-digital and digitised cultural records more accessible to users. The project will make a ground-breaking contribution to this field through carefully-structured online workshops, innovative research outputs, and the creation of an international network of theorists and practitioners working with born-digital and digitised archives.

The conference will feature keynote addresses, presentations, workshops, and digital tool training in support of undergraduate and graduate teaching and learning. While broadly focused on Digital Pedagogy, the conference themes include: digital pedagogy best practices in STEM, the Humanities, and the Social Sciences; digital pedagogy collaborations between faculty, educational developers, librarians, and/or graduate/undergraduate students; digital pedagogy collaborations with organizations outside the academy; the state of digital pedagogy education in higher education; digital pedagogy case studies, including course and assignment innovations; innovative new uses for traditional digital pedagogy tools.

Other Opportunities

Summer University in Digital Humanities Programme – Culture & Technology<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=97cc92325d&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Application Deadline: May 15, 2021

As some may remember the 11th European Summer University in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology” to be held last summer in Leipzig had to be postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is to inform you that given that the DAAD has agreed to support the European Summer University again for two years, we have decided to hold ESU DH 2021 from the 3rd to 13th of August 2021 in Leipzig as promised. It will be organised together with the Forum Digital Humanities Leipzig (FDHL).


Competition: Show US the Data | Kaggle<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=a70ad4f8ab&e=9fe8fa18ad>
Competition End Date: June 15, 2021

This competition challenges data scientists to show how publicly funded data are used to serve science and society. Evidence through data is critical if government is to address the many threats facing society, including; pandemics, climate change, Alzheimer’s disease, child hunger, increasing food production, maintaining biodiversity, and addressing many other challenges. Yet much of the information about data necessary to inform evidence and science is locked inside publications.

Can natural language processing find the hidden-in-plain-sight data citations? Can machine learning find the link between the words used in research articles and the data referenced in the article?
Now is the time for data scientists to help restore trust in data and evidence. In the United States, federal agencies are now mandated to show how their data are being used. The new Foundations of Evidence-based Policymaking Act requires agencies to modernize their data management. New Presidential Executive Orders are pushing government agencies to make evidence-based decisions based on the best available data and science. And the government is working to respond in an open and transparent way.

NEW PUB: Imaginative Networks: Tracing Connec­tions Among Early Modern Book Dedi­cations | Journal of Cultural Analytics<https://ucla.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f571e8b9f741118e5862bb349&id=04e622b6d2&e=9fe8fa18ad>

This essay uses network metrics (centrality, density, clustering coefficients) to account for shifts in dedicatory practice resulting from political crises, religious turmoil, and changes in book production practices. It constructs a network from the names that appear in dedications of EEBO­TCP texts; names are detected using the linguistic markup from the EarlyPrint project. The essay argues that we learn more about early modern book history by constructing networks of all the names that appear in dedications, not just those of authors, printers, and patrons. The network includes a mixture of religious and political figures, literary personalities, fictional characters, and bookmaking professionals, because this is the full range of names that dedicatory practice covers in the period. By proceeding in this way, network metrics can account for a
range of dedicatory phenomena, including Queen Elizabeth’s popularity on both sides of the political aisle long after her death and, especially, consolidation around non-­contemporary names in dedicatory practice as a result of both the Civil War and the Restoration. The imaginative networks revealed by early modern dedications are organized mainly around untimely figures from the recent and distant past, but despite this the networks are sensitive to historical change, especially at moments of political and social crisis.
