(msuglobaldh.org&d=DwMFaQ&c=nE)Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its
symposium series on Global DH into its third year. Digital humanities
scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range
of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden
access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that
which MSU champions
(cplong.org),
values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to
reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural
positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge
work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form
manifests a critical perspective on the digital content and the position of
the researcher to their material.With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced
and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including,
among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation,
digital rights, endangered data
(endangereddataweek.org),
and the digital divide. We view the 2018 symposium as an opportunity to
broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across
borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible
data is especially welcome.Michigan State University has been intentionally global
(http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/) for more than 60 years, with over
1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service.
For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in
culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix
(http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/), a digital humanities and social science
center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern
Africa
(http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/)
that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships and capacity
building. WIDE (http://wide.msu.edu) has set best practices for doing
community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan
Collections, Archive 2.0
(http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/). Today
many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects
relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics.This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types,
welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and
particularly on the following themes and topics by *Friday, December 15,
