This year, the Institute will be hosted by East Carolina University
in collaboration with the DHC-NC, and will be held virtually.
This
year’s Institute is especially interested in showcasing the ways in
which qualitative and quantitative data inform digital humanities
practices. We’re also interested in how data in various forms does or
could support activism and advocacy in and beyond digital humanities.
Possible questions the context raises might include:
-
How
do data activism and data justice play a role in the dissemination of
digital humanities-driven projects? For example, how could digital
humanists engage with activists calling for data sovereignty?
-
What
are the limitations of data in the digital humanities, and/or what
should we be cautious about? Are there particular kinds of data about
which digital humanists should be concerned?
-
How
are digital humanists contributing to community activism? How is
digital humanities reshaped through its participation in activism?
-
What
data tools do you use to work with data in your digital humanities
work? Are you developing tools for others or is there a tool that
doesn’t yet exist, but could, that would expand the scope of your data
and work’s impact?
-
How
is digital humanities responding to data sovereignty, data ownership,
data privacy and related questions of methodology and post-research
sharing? Â
We also welcome proposals that address digital humanities in a broader sense.
-
What are best practices to clarify a DH project’s purpose and engagement with potential audiences?Â
-
How do we navigate complex interpersonal dynamics in collaborative and participatory DH projects?
-
What
new tools and platforms are we adding to our practice(s)? This question
is meant to be as broad as possible, going beyond the data tools
mentioned above.
