Meeting Description:

Special feature of this workshop: Twin Talks
This workshop is special in that all submitted talks at this workshop are
submitted and presented by, a humanities researcher and a digital expert. They
report on the research carried out together, both from their individual
perspective (either humanities research or technical), as well as on their
collaboration experience. 

Why twin talks instead of solo talks?
The main objective of the workshop is to get a better understanding of the
dynamics on the Digital Humanities work floor where humanities scholars and
digital experts meet and work in tandem to solve humanities research
questions. The best way to do this seems to be to give both parties the
opportunity to present their achievements and to share their collaboration
experiences with the audience. The insights gained should help those involved
in the education of humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts
alike to develop better training programmes. 

Who should submit?
Pairs of a humanities and a digital expert who have done joint research and
who want to report on their work and on their collaboration experience.

Why should you submit and/or attend?
Humanities research can only benefit maximally from new developments in
technology if content and digital experts team up, very similar to the hard
sciences where research is done in teams working on a specific problem, where
everybody brings in his/her specific content and technical expertise and
skills. Co-design, co-development and co-creation are the rule rather than the
exception, but very little is known about how this collaboration works in
practice and how better training and education of both humanities scholars and
digital experts could facilitate the way they collaborate. This is what this
workshop wants to address, based on real life collaboration examples. We
especially invite researchers, professionals, educators, and Research
Infrastructure operators with a special interest in creating the conditions
where humanities scholars and technical experts can fruitfully collaborate in
answering humanities research questions.

Format of the workshop
The full day workshop will start with an invited talk, followed by six
25-minute twin talks, i.e. talks presented by pairs consisting of a humanities
scholar and a digital expert, followed by 5 minutes for questions and
discussion.  The talks should contain the following three components:
presentation of the humanities problem and its solution, presentation of the
technical aspects of the research done, and a report on the collaboration
experience itself, including obstacles encountered and recommendations how
better training and education could help to make collaboration more efficient
and effective. After the talks there will be a round table discussion with all
participants to formulate the lessons learned from the presentations. 

Research topics
All humanities research topics in a very broad sense are welcome, where we
explicitly include social sciences and well as cultural heritage studies.
Research may be completed or ongoing, as long as the presentation explicitly
addresses the way the humanities researcher and the digital expert have
collaborated or still collaborate.

What we expect from the submissions:

question)

obtained
- They analyse the way the scholar and the technician collaborated, addressing
issues such as (but not limited to):
o   What was easy and what was difficult – and why?
o   How did the researcher and technician change each other’s way of looking
at things? 
o   Did they, for instance, make each other aware of blind spots they had? 
o   Did the combination of thinking from a DH research question and thinking
from a technical solution lead to new insights?
o   How could better training or education of scholars and digital experts
make collaboration easier, more effective and more efficient?
