The “Göttingen Dialog in Digital Humanities” (GDDH) has established a
new forum for the discussion of digital methods applied to all areas of
the Humanities, including Classics, Philosophy, History, Literature,
Law, Languages, Social Science, Archaeology and more. The initiative is
organized by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH).
The dialogs will take place *every Tuesday at 5pm from late April until
early July 2015* in the form of 90 minute seminars. Presentations will
be 45 minutes long and delivered in English, followed by 45 minutes of
discussion and student participation. Seminar content should be of
interest to humanists, digital humanists, librarians and computer
scientists.
We invite submissions of *complete papers* describing research which
employs digital methods, resources or technologies in an innovative way
in order to enable a better or new understanding of the Humanities, both
in the past and present. Themes may include text mining, machine
learning, network analysis, time series, sentiment analysis, agent-based
modelling, or efficient visualization of big and humanities-relevant
data. Papers should be written in English. Successful papers will be
submitted for publication as a special issue of /Digital Humanities
Quarterly/ (DHQ). Furthermore, the author(s) of the best paper will
receive *a prize of €500*, which will be awarded on the basis of both
the quality and the delivery of the paper.
A small budget for travel cost reimbursements is available.
*Full papers should be sent by March 20th* to gkraft@gcdh.de in Word
.docx format. There is *no limitation in length but the suggested
minimum is 5000 words*. The full programme, including the venue of the
dialogs, will be sent to you by April 1st.
