University of Toronto’s Critical Digital Humanities Initiative (CDHI) is
offering a new Lightning Lunches series, and we are starting off this
academic year with the theme of *Multilingual DH *running on *September 15
from 12:00-1:00 PM*.Lightning Lunches are panels of three DH scholars speaking on a theme over
lunch. Our first meeting has *Prof Elise K. Burton*
(https://hps.utoronto.ca/staff/elise-burton/) (Assistant Professor,
Institute for the History & Philosophy of Science & Technology, and *Lexicon
of Science in Asia*
(https://dhn.lamp4.utoronto.ca/project/lexicon-of-science-in-asia/)),* Prof.
Kate Holland (http://sites.utoronto.ca/slavic/people/faculty/Holland.shtml)*
(Associate Professor of Russian Literature, Department of Slavic Languages
& Literatures, and *Digital Dostoevsky (https://digitaldostoevsky.com/)*),
and *Ian Turner
(http://www.sareligionuoft.ca/people/graduate-students/ian-turner/)* (PhD
Candidate, Department of Religion, and *Newar self-publishing*
(https://dhn.lamp4.utoronto.ca/announcing-the-inaugural-cohort-of-critical-digital-humanities-graduate-student-fellows/))
speaking on Multilingual DH.Digital Humanities technologies and methodologies often assume that one is
working in the English language and are rarely suited to deal with multiple
languages, scripts, and book structures. What are some of the challenges
scholars working outside the English language and in multiple languages
face? How can we work to make these technologies and methodologies more
inclusive? Join our speakers as they discuss their DH research in Russian,
Newar, and across Asian languages.Due to continued COVID-19 restrictions, our Lightning Lunches will be held
online for the fall semester. To attend, register at this Zoom link

.*Please note that the University of Toronto is under censure from the
Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) for its decision to
terminate the hiring of Dr. Valentina Azarova as the director of the
Faculty of Law’s International Human Rights Program (IHRP). More details of
the censure can be found here
(https://www.caut.ca/bulletin/2021/05/university-toronto-under-censure).
The CDHI supports CAUT’s censure and calls on the University of Toronto
administration to uphold standards of academic freedom. We are observing
the censure by not inviting external speakers to participate in scheduled
events, which are designed to promote anti-racist, feminist, queer, and
decolonial digital humanities work.* -
