About the workshop
Special feature of this workshop: “Twin Talks”
This workshop is special in that the submitted talks at this workshop are authored and (if possible) presented by a humanities researcher and a digital expert . They report on the research carried out together, both from their individual perspective (either humanities research or technical), as well as on their collaboration experience.
The main objective of the workshop is to get a better understanding of the dynamics on the Digital Humanities work floor where humanities scholars and digital experts meet and work in tandem to solve humanities research questions. The best way to do this seems to be to give both parties the opportunity to present their achievements and to share their collaboration experiences with the audience. The insights gained should help those involved in the education of humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts alike to develop better training programmes.
Why should you attend?
Humanities research can only benefit maximally from new developments in technology if content and digital experts team up, very similar to the hard sciences where research is done in teams working on a specific problem, where everybody brings in his/her specific content and technical expertise and skills. Co-design, co-development and co-creation are the rule rather than the exception, but very little is known about how this collaboration works in practice and how better training and education of both humanities scholars and digital experts could facilitate the way they collaborate. This is what this workshop wants to address, based on real life collaboration examples. We especially invite researchers, professionals, educators, and
operators with a special interest in creating the conditions where humanities scholars and technical experts can fruitfully collaborate in answering humanities research questions.
Format of the workshop
The 2.5 hour workshop will start with a 15 minute invited talk by Federico Nanni (The Alan Turing Institute, UK), followed by eight 10 minute Twin Talks, each series of four followed by 10 minutes for questions and answers. The Twin Talks should contain the following three components: presentation of the humanities problem and its solution, presentation of the technical aspects of the research done, and a report on the collaboration experience itself, including obstacles encountered and recommendations how better training and education could help to make collaboration more efficient and effective. After the talks the invited speaker continues his talk and reacts to what was said or was not said in the talks. The workshop will end with a round table discussion with all participants to formulate the lessons learned from the presentations, and to identify further steps that could be taken.
Research and teaching topics covered
All humanities research topics in a very broad sense were welcome, where we explicitly included social sciences as well as cultural heritage studies. Research or teaching activities could be completed or ongoing, as long as the presentation explicitly addressed the way the humanities researcher and the digital expert have collaborated or still collaborate.
