The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab is accepting nominations for visiting instructors to its ongoing digital humanities training / workshop series for the 2012-13 academic year. This series runs aligned with, and outside of, the Digital Humanities Summer Institute.
One such workshop, an Introduction to TEI led by Malte Rehbein (Wurzburg), ran over the March 24th weekend and was sponsored by ETCL and the Faculty of Humanities (http://dhsi.org/events.php#MarchWorkshop); that event is now sold out.
To nominate a workshop subject area and visiting instructor, before 30 April 2012 please send a proposal to etcl.discussion@gmail.com of no more than one page that includes [1] the digital humanities workshop subject area, and a brief rationale for the importance of supporting local training in this area, [2] the name, affiliation, and chief accomplishments of the proposed visiting instructor, [3] a brief description of past workshops they have offered in the area, and [4] the proposed timing of the workshop on campus. Resources are available for travel, lodging for up to 5 days, and a modest honorarium. Preference will be given to workshops in pan-disciplinary areas not currently addressed by DHSI core offerings, aligned with demonstrable local need.
About the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab @ UVic
The ETCL engages in cross-disciplinary study of the past, present, and future of textual communication, and is a hub for digital humanities activities across the University of Victoria campus, from coast-to-coast, and around the world. ETCL acts as an intellectual centre for the activities of some twenty local faculty, staff, and students as well as visiting scholars who work closely with research centres, libraries, academic departments, and projects locally and in the larger community. Through a series of highly collaborative relationships, ETCL’s international research community comprises over 300 researchers. Our teaching and training initiatives like the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI; http://dhsi.org) bring together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from industry and government sectors; in its tenth year, the DHSI has welcomed more than 1200 people from around the world to its warm, collegial training environment. Our conferences and speaker series have brought more than 200 faculty and graduate student speakers to our campus. Researchers, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate student assistants affiliated with the ETCL have gone on to further positions in industry and academia, including: tenure track faculty member, post-doctoral fellow, doctoral student, software developer, solution architect, director of technology, academic librarian, project manager, professional writer, multimedia consultant, web designer, and research director.
