> The main topic of the AIUCD 2019 Conference is ‘Pedagogy, teaching, and
> research in the age of Digital Humanities’. The conference aims at
> reflecting on the new possibilities that the digital yields for
> pedagogy, teaching, and scholarly research: how will these transform
> teaching in the humanities? What contributions can humanistic cultural
> critique offer to the digital revolution? What is the connection with
> the digitization plan for Universities outlined by the Ministry? It also
> concerns the Digital Humanities as a new discipline, and this brings
> forward further considerations: how can the new professional figure of
> the digital humanist be developed? Which areas of knowledge define the
> Digital Humanities as a subject of study, research, and teaching? How
> can we recognise, classify, describe, and evaluate research efforts in
> the Digital Humanities?
>
> While open to other topics related to Digital Humanities, proposals for
> contributions are particularly encouraged on the following:
>
> General questions:
> * the epistemological positioning and area of knowledge of DH in
> relation to the systems of Academic Research Areas (Settori
> Scientifico-Disciplinari) and Recruiting in Italy;
> * the positioning of DH in the European and International academic systems;
> * the evaluation of research in DH beyond traditional publications;
> * dissemination, public history, and crowdsourcing within research
> projects;
> * the role of inter(multi-trans-cross)-disciplinary DH research in
> European projects, enquiry, and teaching.
>
> Pedagogy and teaching questions:
> * teaching DH: which models, technologies, and methods?
> * teaching the humanities in secondary schools and universities with DH
> tools;
> * teaching DH at the University: how is it taught today?
> * DH and media: production, dissemination, and analytical prospects
> * teaching history and DH;
> * DH and didactic strategies;
> * DH and hands-on teaching practices;
> * DH and primary source teaching;
> * Big Data methodologies and technologies in DH research and teaching.
> * Questions concerning research efforts:
> * statistical and quantitative research methods and their teaching
> applications;
> * Data Science and the role of DH in the definition of new knowledge;
> * Information science and DH: meeting points and methodological
> integration;
> * cultural and social impact of humanities research with computational
> methodologies;
> * Semantic web technologies and linked open data in the humanities;
> * models and tools for knowledge representation in the humanities and
> the cultural heritage sector;
> * visualization methodologies and technologies and their significance
> for humanities and cultural heritage knowledge and information;
> * Natural Language Processing methodologies and applications for the
> humanities;
> * digitization methodologies and technologies for the production,
> preservation, and promotion of digital cultural heritage.
