Meeting Description:
Special feature of this workshop: a mix of ''Twin Talks'' and ''Teach Talks''
This workshop is special in that part of the submitted talks at this workshop
are submitted and presented by, a humanities researcher and a digital expert
(the Twin Talks). 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. Another part of the talks (the
Teach Talks) are talks by people with experience or interesting ideas about
how cross-discipline collaboration is or can be addressed in curricula or
other training activities.
Why two types of 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.
As the problem of cross-discipline collaboration is not new we also invite
those who have relevant experience or interesting ideas about how to address
this in university or other curricula
to share their ideas with the audience.
Who should submit?
For the Twin Talks: 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.
For the Teach Talks: People (not necessarily in pairs) with relevant
experience in or ideas about how to address cross-discipline collaboration in
university or other curricula.
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 RI operators with a special interest in creating
the conditions where humanities scholars and technical experts can fruitfully
collaborate in answering humanities research questions.
Call for Papers:
Format of the Workshop:
The full day workshop will start with an invited talk, followed by 15-minute
Twin Talks or Teach Talks, each followed by 5 minutes for questions and
discussion. The Twin 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, and to
identify further steps that could be taken.
Research and Teaching 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 or teaching activities 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 for the Twin Talks track:
- They are authored and presented by one or more humanities scholars and one
or more digital experts
- They start from a humanities research question (i.e. not a technical
question, a presentation of a tool, a platform or a data collection)
- They describe the research carried out jointly and its results
- They describe the technical aspects of the methods used and the results
obtained
- They analyse the way the scholar and the technician collaborated, addressing
issues such as (but not limited to):
+ What was easy and what was difficult '' and why?
+ How did the researcher and technician change each other''s way of looking at
things?
+ Did they, for instance, make each other aware of blind spots they had?
+ Did the combination of thinking from a DH research question and thinking
from a technical solution lead to new insights?
+ How could better training or education of scholars and digital experts make
collaboration easier, more effective and more efficient?
Submissions for the Teach Talks track:
One single author and presenter is sufficient, but multi-author papers are of
course equally welcome.
Submission Instructions and Important Dates:
- Format: PDF. We follow the format instructions for the main conference, see:

- Size: Extended abstracts, size ca 2000-4000 words, covering research

Talks, or relevant education experience for Teach Talks
