DIGITAL HUMANITIES FORUM 2017
DIGITAL STORYTELLING & THE HUMANITIES
7th Annual University of Kansas Digital Humanities Forum
September 28-29, 2017
Lawrence, KansasThe 2017 DH Forum will include a day of free digital humanities workshops
on Thursday, September 28, followed by a day of keynote talks, panel
presentations, and posters/exhibitions exploring the theme of Digital
Storytelling.Registration is free but space is limited.
This year’s DH Forum will focus on the theory and practice of digital
storytelling as it relates to humanities research, teaching and learning.
In particular, we seek innovative approaches and examples of digital
storytelling that address questions related to democratizing DH practices,
communicating knowledge and research, and representing underrepresented
languages, places and peoples.Speakers:
Anastasia Salter, Assistant Professor of Digital Media, University of
Central Florida
Joseph Erb, Assistant Teaching Professor, University of Missouri
Kim Gallon, Assistant Professor of History, Purdue UniversityStorytelling is fundamental to human experience and used for creative
expression, communication, and self-conception at the personal, community,
and international levels. Narratives and stories represent how we
understand the world and provide the matrix in which arguments cohere.
Digital media hardware and software have expanded the forums and techniques
available for the creation and reception of compelling narratives and have
encouraged new literacies and approaches to narrative form and function.Digital stories may engage audiences across various media in a multi-modal
ways, encourage new forms of interaction with data and code, and take
advantage of the interactive possibilities of the Web and mobile platforms.
Some digital stories interweave the affordances of digital media with
storytelling practices and poetics to produce co-created, algorithmic,
location-based, and non-linear narratives. Other digital stories take
advantage of the proliferation of digital networks to tell personal or
untold stories or to communicate complex knowledge about human experiences
in immediate and interactive ways.We welcome proposals for
– paper/research presentations (approx. 20 minute presentations);
– panel or discussion sessions (30-60 minutes, with multiple
participants);
– workshops on digital storytelling tools, platforms, methods and
pedagogy (1 – 3 hour sessions);
– creative works of digital storytelling that may be displayed as part
of an exhibition session.Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
– The connection between digital storytelling, knowledge production, and
humanities scholarship;
– How can digital storytelling facilitate telling stories of
underrepresented languages, places and people;
– Innovative examples of Indigenous and minoritized stories,
multilingual and non-English language stories, and local and regional
histories;
– Digital storytelling for public humanities and civic engagement;
– Digital stories for scholarly communication and broader impact
initiatives (including communicating your scholarship to wide audiences in
new ways);
– Digital storytelling within museums, cultural institutions, or
exhibition spaces;
– Ethics and best practices in digital storytelling;
