SYMPOSIUM ANNOUNCEMENT
With apologies for cross posting.
InterFace 2011 -- 27-29 July 2011, University College London
InterFace is a symposium for humanities and technology. In 2011 it is being
jointly hosted by colleges across London and will be an invaluable
opportunity for participants to visit this active hub of digital scholarship
and practice.
The symposium aims to foster collaboration and shared understanding between
scholars in the humanities and in computer science, especially where their
efforts converge on exchange of subject matter and method. With a focus on
the interests and concerns of Ph.D students and early career researchers,
the programme will include networking activities, opportunities for research
exposition, and various training and workshop activities.
A core component of the programme will be a lightning talks session in which
each participant will make a two-minute presentation on their research. The
session will be lively and dynamic. Each presentation must be exactly two
minutes long, making use of necessary, interesting, appropriate, or
entertaining visual or sound aids, and condensing a whole Ph.D's worth of
ideas and work into this short slot.
Participants will be able to join workshops in:
* social network analysis;
* bibliographic software;
* data visualisation;
* linked data.
There will be talks on:
* user studies and social research;
* discourse analysis in science and technology;
* how to get your work published;
* how to apply for research funding.
There will also be two keynote talks given by speakers whose work marks the
leading edge of technology in scholarship and practice. The speakers will
be:
* Steven Scrivener (University of Arts London)
Design research and creative production
* Melissa Terras (UCL)
Digitisation of cultural heritage and image processing
Finally, the symposium will conclude with an unconference; a participatory,
collaborative, and informal event in which the form and content is decided
on by participants as it unfolds and in which discussion and production is
emphasised over presentation and analysis. Participants may wish to share
their own skills, learn a new skill, establish and develop a collaborative
project, or hold a focused discussion.
We are now seeking applications for participation in InterFace. Applications
are encouraged from Ph.D students and early career researchers in all
humanities and computing disciplines. The key component of your application
