**2nd EADH Day 2016 - Call for Participation**
The second
annual European Association for the Digital Humanities Symposium
(EADH Day) will be held in conjunction with the 3rd International
Conference of the Association DigitalHumanitiesimdeutschsprachigenRaum(Digital Humanities in German speaking regions) which will
take place at the University of Leipzig from the 7th to the 12th
of March 2016. The main theme of this conference is “Modellierung - Vernetzung - Visualisierung. DieDigitalHumanitiesalsfächerübergreifendesForschungsparadigma”
(Modelling - Networking - Visualisation. Digital Humanities as a
transdisciplinary research paradigm). The 2nd EADH day will open
in the evening of the 7th of March and continue on the 8th of
March until just before the opening of DHd 2016.
The objective of
EADH days is to raise awareness for DH research activities beyond
the regional conference context. The format of EADH day is
designed to facilitate exchange and networking initiatives among
European DH research communities.
Participants
may contribute directly to the EADH Day agenda in two ways:
Through presentations of a 5 minute** lightning talk** featuring
either recent research developments or key topics of interest to
the digital humanities community (e.g. ‘The potential of Linked
Data for annotating medieval music scores’). Participants wishing
to present lightning talks should provide a two-page abstract of
the presentation in English which will be made available online
prior to the event. Through the
proposition of a **challenge** for participants to address during
the event related to the themes of: - Integrating
research and teaching - Integrating
different communities - Integrating the
global and the local - Integrating
different scholarly domains
Challenges can
be presented in creative ways. Round tables with respondents and /
or speakers / audience sharing the stage in turns, multimedia
presentations, short sketches, students's projects, are only some
of the formats which come to mind.
Challenges
should take the form of an open question (e.g. ‘How do we teach
Digital Humanities?’ ‘What is the social resonance of Digital
Humanities?’, ‘What is the contribution of Digital Humanities to
collective memory and public history?’ etc.), with one or two
paragraphs of text justifying their significance.
Proposals need
to be submitted via ConfTool (https://conftool.pro/dhd2016/)
by the 14th February 2016.Information
in English about the submission process ist available at:
http://www.dhd2016.de/node/51. Lightning talks and
challenges will be selected by an EADH panel.
Presentation of
a lightning talk or a challenge is not a requirement to particpate
and anyone may register to attend the event via the http://www.dhd2016.de/
website.
