Gold, Katherine D. Harris, and Jentery Sayers, is a dynamic open-access collection currently in development on MLA Commons. The editors invite your participation in the open peer review of this collection. Each entry in the collection focuses on a keyword in the field of digital pedagogy (ranging from “queer” to “interface” to “professionalization”) and is curated by an experienced practitioner, who briefly contextualizes a concept and then provides ten supporting artifacts, such as syllabi, prompts, exercises, lesson plans, and student work, drawn from courses, classrooms, and projects across the humanities. New keywords will be added in batches throughout 2015, with fifty keywords to be included in the final project.</p> <p>Please visit <a href="https://digitalpedagogy.commons.mla.org" rel="nofollow">https://digitalpedagogy.commons.mla.org</a> to read through and respond to the first set of keywords, now available for open review. The official review period for the first set of keywords will end on 3 August 2015. </p> <p>We encourage you to pass it along to other colleagues who may be interested. We would appreciate your assistance with this project and look forward to hearing from you. </p> <p>All best,<br /> Kathy Harris (with Rebecca Frost Davis, Matthew Gold, and Jentery Sayers) </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/how-do-i-write-a-good-research-question-for-a-digital-humanities-phd-proposal#post-2335 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 13:20:28 +0000 robbin_g 2335@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Hello to all and I am very thankful to find this forum!</p> <p>I am wanting to attend a PhD program in Digital Humanities. (Eyes on King's College) I am struggling to write a proper research proposal to find an advisor there. </p> <p>I am a technologist (not a programmer!) interested in how DH can be used in Food Studies. When I proposed this as an introduction I was told, that's really just a project, not a research question. Turns out, as a technologist, I am great at coming up with digital projects that involve food studies but they all seem to lack a research 'hook' to get me any further. </p> <p>My current favorite idea, of a few scribbled down, is related to the study of wine (I am a certified sommelier):</p> <p>What can a digital humanities approach to wine reveal about the definition of terroir in the region of Barolo, Italy?</p> <p>Can anyone point me in a good direction?

I am a total novice, with little support right now and would like to set it up as a restful service running in Apache Tomcat.

The scope is specifically geared toward setting expectations and the issues to consider including in a charter / contract.</p> <p>It currently exists as an editable document on Google Drive -- and I'd love feedback!! What's missing, what's too broad/specific? Other great links to share? I'd especially like thoughts on integrating language re: open source, creative commons, code.</p> <p>Here's the link:<br /> <a href="http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/fineart/research/digital-humanities-best-practices.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/fineart/research/digital-humanities-best-practices.htm</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/old-english-resources-and-tools#post-2261 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 09:10:24 +0000 martinwunderlich 2261@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Hi all, </p> <p>I am currently working on an NLP project using Old English (OE) as the target language. I was wondering, what digital resources and tools are currently available. </p> <p>In terms of corpora and lexicographic resources, I am working with the<br /> - Old English Dictionary (OED) and the associated corpus and<br /> - York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose (YCOE)</p> <p>In terms of tools, I haven't found much specifically geared towards OE other than the corpus reader that comes with NLTK.<br /> Is there anything out there in terms of tools, e.g. POS taggers?<br /> I am grateful for any hints. Thanks a lot. </p> <p>Kind regards, </p> <p>Martin </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/where-do-you-go-for-data#post-2257 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:33:38 +0000 thomasgpadilla 2257@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Where do you go for data to support your DH work aside from LAMs (library, archive, museum) specific repositories? </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/rhyme-detection#post-2246 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 23:57:12 +0000 jlassin 2246@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Has anyone come across any tools for analyzing poems and identifying rhyme?

(e.g Engineering competitions, such as the ones listed below).<br /> - Facilitate cooperation between academic disciplines.</p> <p>For the article I am trying to find as many varied examples as I can, ranging from purely STEM based competitions,( <a href="http://innovation.wisc.edu/sustainability/" rel="nofollow">http://innovation.wisc.edu/sustainability/</a> )<br /> Interdisciplinary examples ( <a href="http://igem.org/About" rel="nofollow">http://igem.org/About</a> ) and Humanities examples ( <a href="http://openhumanitiesawards.org/" rel="nofollow">http://openhumanitiesawards.org/</a> ).</p> <p>I am also interested in any other forms of extra curricular activities which facilitate undergraduate student initiative, creativity and interdisciplinarity. </p> <p>Any help, or a point in the direction of someone who might be able to, would be much appreciated. </p> <p>All the best<br /> Michael Brown<br /> University of East Anglia<br /> Student Initiative Society UEA <a href="http://mbrown6.wix.com/sisuea" rel="nofollow">http://mbrown6.wix.com/sisuea</a> </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/digital-textual-design-on-the-hunt-for-projectstoolstoolsetsgood-designs#post-2052 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:38:18 +0000 thatdrmaz 2052@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Hello all,</p> <p>I'm on the hunt for projects/tools/toolsets/good designs that are involved with the digital replication of texts, creating a range of ways to search, interact with, browse and investigate any text. </p> <p>I am based at the university of durham, and what we hope this will enable us to identify are new forms of digital curating and scholarly ‘good practice’. Our aim is to be able to outline the important underlying principles for anyone interested in discovering and editing versions of physical texts as a digital entity.</p> <p>Does anyone know of any technologies that we should incorporate into our research?... Or other similar projects / interesting people we should contact?... As part of a larger research we'd like to interview anyone involved with this kind of work - as a Curator, designer etc. </p> <p>Thanks terribly in advance.<br /> Mariann </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/what-are-essential-introductory-theorizations-of-the-model#post-2036 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:06:52 +0000 Michael Ullyot 2036@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>I'd like to ask both a research and a teaching question, about the most productive *and* accessible theorizations of the Model in artistic, scientific, and in-between disciplines like ours.</p> <p>I'm teaching a course (this fall) in my university's interdisciplinary arts-and-science undergraduate program on the very broad theme of 'representation.' I'm comparing the relationships between scientific theories, artistic representations, and quantitative/tractable models of research objects (in any field) that make them computationally addressable. </p> <p>The question is this: which essays or articles would best introduce these advanced undergraduates to the third category? </p> <p>Willard McCarty's essay, "Modeling: a study in words and meanings" from *A companion to digital humanities* (2004), is cited in Matt Burton's "Joy of Topic Modeling" blog post last month &lt; <a href="http://mcburton.net/blog/joy-of-tm/" rel="nofollow">http://mcburton.net/blog/joy-of-tm/</a> &gt;. This seems the natural place to start, but I wonder if readers have used other texts to induce intelligent non-specialists to join, or at least to grasp, our field.</p> <p>These are my other texts:<br /> * David Bohm, *On Creativity*<br /> * Virginia Woolf, *The Waves* (and Stephen Ramsay's work on the same)<br /> * Richard Dawkins, *The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing*</p> <p>With thanks,<br /> Michael Ullyot </p>
