"Digital Scholarship: Partnering for the Future" by Joan K. Lippincott

Associate Executive Director, Coalition for Networked Information

November 7, 2-3:30pm Homer Babbidge Library Heritage Room 

Co-sponsored by DHMS/UCHI

Researchers in many disciplines are finding that they can ask new kinds of research ques- tions as a result of the rapid growth in the avail- ability of digital content and tools. In addition, the outputs of their research can include many more types of products such as data visualiza- tions, geo-referenced representations, text augmented with images and audio, exhibits on the web, and virtual reality environments. Developing these projects takes a team of people who have a variety of skill sets. These individuals may come from academic depart- ments, the library, the information technology unit, and other specialties. Graduate and undergraduate students are also often part of teams working on digital scholarship projects. In this presentation, Lippincott will provide an update on developments in digital scholarship and will describe existing programs and proj- ects, discuss the importance of physical space, and encourage the development of a campus digital scholarship community.

Alan Liu: "Toward Critical Infrastructure Studies: Digital Humanities, New Media Studies, and the Culture of Infrastructure"(University of California, Santa Barbara)

In an era when complexly "smart" and hybrid material-virtual infrastructures ranging from the micro to the macro scale seem to obviate older distinctions between material base and cultural superstructure, how can the digital humanities and new media studies join in an emergent "critical infrastructure studies"? What are the traditions of such studies? What is the topic's scope? What are some especially high-value areas for intervention by digital humanists and new media scholars/artists? And how can digital scholars in the humanities and arts collaborate with digital social scientists taking up similar matters? In this talk, Alan Liu considers the hypothesis that today's "cultural studies" is a mode of critical infrastructure studies.

BioAlan Liu is Professor in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  He has published books titled Wordsworth: The Sense of History (1989); The Laws of Cool: Knowledge Work and the Culture of Information (2004); and Local Transcendence: Essays on Postmodern Historicism and the Database (2008).  Liu is founder and co-leader of the 4Humanities.org advocacy initiative. Currently he is leading the 4Humanities.org big-data, topic-modeling project titled "WhatEvery1Says" on public discourse about the humanities.

"Must the Revolution be Digital?"

With events of the Arab Spring and recent mobilization around the Movement for Black Lives, digital and social media have become crucial for activism and resistance. But some argue that the problems far outnumber the advantages. Join us to debate these issues!

Moderated by Bakhti Shringarpure (UConn English).
