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?
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?
-
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.
