Subject: [DHSI] Calling all: Day of DH 2021 is here
To: institute@lists.uvic.ca <institute@lists.uvic.ca>
Dear DHSI community,
We are delighted to announce that the Day of DH 2021 will take place on
April 29. The organizing committee this year is led by Loyola University
Chicago, UCLA, in USA, University of Guelph in Canada, Università del
Piedmont Orientale in Italy.
The theme for this year is Multilingual DH. With it, we want to open up
conversation about not just projects being undertaken in the various
languages, but also put together a list of non-English tools, libraries,
software products, tips, hacks, and resources available for researchers and
institutions.
Digital Humanists from all corners of the world are encouraged to share
their work on Twitter (as always!) as well as Instagram, using the
#dayofdh2021.
But this Day of DH is unique, as it comes after a year of living in the
virtual space. We have had a year of seeing human life and technology
intersect intimately, and seen its affordances and its limitations come to
fore virtual meeting after virtual meeting. So this Day of DH also provides
us with an opportunity to share how a global pandemic changed DH, its
directions, your research questions, and more.
Over the next few weeks, we will update the website
(https://dhcenternet.org/initiatives/day-of-dh/2021) with resources,
potential events to hold at your Center or Campus, and more. Keep an eye
out, and for queries, please DM us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/DayofDH),
or email us at luctsdh@luc.edu.
Please share this announcement with your Center mailing lists and encourage
your faculty, students and staff to tweet about their day on April 29.
Information will be disseminated on the @DayofDH twitter account. For
Centers, this may be an opportunity to disseminate projects that would be
of interest to a wider public, to talk about toolkits and case studies in
multilingual DH, and, or to host a virtual event such as a discussion or
video viewing, and be a part of what we hope will be a truly global
conversation exchange.
More information about Day of DH is on the CenterNet website:
https://dhcenternet.org/initiatives/day-of-dh/2021
Please consider participating in the Dat of DH 2021 by promoting the event,
sharing your work via social media, or organizing parallel events locally
in your community!
best,
Asen (on behalf of Day of DH 2021 organizing committee)
