"Decolonizing the Digital Humanities" is a presentation and a workshop for ASTU 260 "Knowledge Dissemination: Communicating Research to Public Audiences" a course
on research, theory, and practice in the communication of expert knowledge to non-specialist audiences; popular media and dissemination.
Digital Humanities is a term that elicits both excitement and scorn in scholarly circles, and there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it is a field of inquiry, a set of research methods, or simply a new perspective on arts and humanities research. This workshop will provide a brief survey of how the evolving theory and practice of using contemporary technology and technology-assisted research methods are impacting scholarship in the arts and humanities.
Are you interested in finding and using digital tools to enhance your research? In this workshop, Rafia Mirza from the UT Arlington Central Library will introduce you to the many different tools that are available to help you gather, process, and present your research.
In this presentation, Alex Juhasz, Director of the Mellon DH Grant and Professor of Media Studies at Pitzer College, along with Ashley Sanders, Digital Scholarship Librarian and DH specialist, will describe
(1) what the digital humanities is (and digital scholarship more broadly)
(2) the opportunities the Mellon DH grant and the Claremont Colleges Library provide for faculty and students to learn more, and
(3) present a snapshot of some of the exciting work already happening at the 7Cs.

The topic of (in)civility in public academic spaces has become extremely important, particularly in the wake of the Steven Salaita case, in which Salaita was denied a job he had been hired before because of his anti-Israeli foreign policy tweets. How should junior academics plan to walk the difficult tightrope between participating ethically in public social media spaces, and simultaneous passing through the difficult challenges of the tenure track? In this webinar, Koh will analyze the landscape of public academic spaces through social media, the necessity of participating in these spaces, and caveats and strategies to keep in mind.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

WHAT ARE THE
‘DIGITAL HUMANITIES’?
• Old name= “Humanities Computing”
• Changed to “digital humanities” in the process of publishing
Blackwell Companion to Digital Humanities
• Matt Kirschenbaum: "At its core, then, digital humanities is
more akin to a common methodological tool than an
investment in any one specific set of texts or even
technologies."

8. @adelinekoh, #racedh
WHAT ARE THE
‘DIGITAL HUMANITIES’?
• “DH”= using digital tools to enhance/transform traditional
humanities
• E.g. of such tools/processes: Text-mining
• Humanities scholars are used to ‘close reading’ to find patterns across texts
• DH has taken this to “text-mining,” or “machine-reading”, using programs
searching for patterns across large volumes of text
• Humans are good at detecting many occurrences of X in a text, or few.
Machine-reading can allow u to detect more uncommon numbers

28. @adelinekoh, #racedh
RECOVERY IN DH
• Two pressing issues regarding recovery in DH
• 1) Need for funding streams that will privilege creation of
recovery texts
• Earhart: Of141 Digital Humanities startup grants the NEH
awarded from 2007-2010, only 29 focused on diverse
communities and 16 on recovery of diverse community
texts.

RECOVERY IN DH
• 2)
Need these recovery projects to be translatable for tenure
and promotion processes, or as dissertation work
• Reprises earlier issue of whether critical editions will count
as “scholarly” work

• Tara McPherson’s (@tmcphers)
argument (replicated in the
edited volumes Race after the
Internet and Debates in the Digital
Humanities)-->
• UNIX+Racial Structures, post
1950= modular
• What does “modular thinking”
discourage?
34
36. @adelinekoh, #racedh
ACCESS AND ACTIVISM
• Access: new formulation of the ‘digital divide’
• older ‘digital
divide’ (1990s/2000s)= concerned access to
internet in terms of consumption
• newer ‘digital
divide’= access to production rather than
consumption, e.g. making applications, tools
36
37. @adelinekoh, #racedh
ACCESS AND ACTIVISM
• MiriamPosner’s
(@miriamkp) blog post
• Byprivileging coding, DH
(unconsciously?) privileges
people who have been
encouraged (and had
access) to learn to code as
a young age/code culture as
‘male’
37
38. @adelinekoh, #racedh
ACCESS AND ACTIVISM
• Activism:
• How do digital projects, and the ability to create them, open
up spaces for activism?
• How does one present an activist identity digitally?
38
39. @adelinekoh, #racedh
ACCESS AND ACTIVISM
• Overall questions
• Interconnections/divergences between ‘digital’ and real-life
activism
• How do digital platforms help engage or silence digital work?
• How do manifestations of the new ‘digital divide’ affect the
structure of the digital humanities?
39
40. @adelinekoh, #racedh
DIGITAL LABOR
• Trebor Scholz’s Digital Labor: The Internet as
Playground and Factory
• Argues that social media creates a new type
of uncompensated, alienated labor
• And brings to light the development of
increasingly alienated forms of labor (e.g.
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk)

⁃Name switched from 'humanities computing" to "digital humanities"\n origins of term, as is catalogued in many of the essays in the Debates on DH edited volume by Matt Gold, is in a conversation between John Unsworth, founding director of Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at UVa, who in conversation with Andrew McNeillie, original acquiring editor for Blackwell Companion to Digital Humanities, suggested the term "Digital Humanities" to replace the proposed title "Companion to Humanities Computing."

Another area: Geo-spatial Mapping, eg. Visualizing Emancipation Project from U of Richmond\n\nVisualizing Emancipation is a map of slavery’s end during the American Civil War. It finds patterns in the collapse of southern slavery, mapping the interactions between federal policies, armies in the field, and the actions of enslaved men and women on countless farms and city blocks. It encourages scholars, students, and the public to examine the wartime end of slavery in place, allowing a rigorously geographic perspective on emancipation in the United States.\n

Liu: “We digital humanists develop tools, data, metadata, and archives critically; and we have also developed critical positions on the nature of such resources (e.g., disputing whether computational methods are best used for truth-finding or, as Lisa Samuels and Jerome McGann put it, “deformation”). But rarely do we extend the issues involved into the register of society, economics, politics, or culture in the vintage manner, for instance, of the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR). How the digital humanities advance, channel, or resist the great postindustrial, neoliberal, corporatist, and globalist flows of information-cum-capital, for instance, is a question rarely heard in the digital humanities associations, conferences, journals, and projects with which I am familiar. Not even the clichéd forms of such issues–e.g., “the digital divide,” “privacy,” “copyright,” and so on–get much play." \n

Bailey's words highlight the importance of issues of representation and access in the production of DH tools and projects, which I will elaborate upon in the next section. \n
