Eyes on Work workshop for humanities scholars

“Eyes on Work,” is an interdisciplinary arts workshop for sharing and critiquing humanities scholarship at the UO.

Format. All faculty members (TTF, NTTF, Visiting Instructors) and ABD graduate students working on the history and theory of the arts, literature, and media are welcome to circulate substantial written work-in-progress in order to receive constructive critique from colleagues and students at workshop meetings.

  • The workshop will meet three (3) times per academic term. The duration of each meeting will be 90 minutes, followed by refreshments.
  • To give workshop attendees ample time for reading, each presenter will circulate work two (2) weeks in advance of the meeting, with the option of a short paragraph contextualizing the work for readers.
  • The presenter may begin each meeting with brief remarks contextualizing the pre-circulated work (no more than 15 minutes). In the remaining time, attendees will share comments, enabling the presenter to reassess contents, organization, framework, argumentation, and other relevant aspects of the work.

Pre-circulated work. To ensure high-quality engagement and feedback from participants, pre-circulated work should be substantial scholarship in progress between 15 to 40 pages. Examples are dissertation and book chapters, drafts of articles or full-length lectures. (Documents pertaining to professional developments such as job applications, grant proposals, and dissertation prospectuses are not appropriate for this venue.)Workshop meeting. The purpose of the workshop is to share and critique written work-in-progress by faculty members and ABD graduate students. To allow optimal time for discussion of the pre-circulated work, there will be no formal presentations at the meetings, and contextualizing remarks by the presenter will be kept at a minimum. Workshop attendees are expected to demonstrate respect for the presenter’s scholarship by reading the pre-circulated work in advance, and by offering comments and suggestions at the meeting.Scholarship before professional status. We believe that 1) respectful challenges produce excellent scholarship and that 2) excellent scholarship comes before institutional hierarchy. Regardless of professional status within the university, we ask that workshop participants treat each other as scholarly equals by respectfully challenging each other’s work, with the goal of strengthening and refining it for eventual publication.Organization. Following the University of Chicago’s model, “Eyes on Work” will be organized by two graduate coordinators, responsible for programming, circulating work, and organizing snacks and drinks. In addition, two faculty sponsors will volunteer to commit to attending all meetings of a given quarter (3 total). The faculty sponsorships can rotate on a quarterly basis; the graduate coordinators can rotate on an annual basis to allow for disbursement of stipends.

If you are interested, help find the best time slot by answering this Qualtrics survey (3 questions; estimated time for response is 30 seconds). https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9L8ReNTJUHuDzcq 

Job Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Community-Based Digital Humanities at Carleton University

The College of the Humanities and the Digital Humanities program at Carleton University is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Community Based Digital Humanities. The anticipated start date will be May 1st 2024 with a duration of 24 months. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in developing a new public-facing aspect of the DH program called ‘StudioDH’, in the context of their own research in community based DH.

Department Background Information
The Collaborative MA in Digital Humanities at Carleton University, situated in the College of the Humanities, is one of the most comprehensive Digital Humanities programs in Canada. Students and faculty come from 14 participating programs in the Faculty of Arts, ranging from Public History to Cognitive Science. In this program we take the view that our role is to provide humanistic and artistic perspectives on digital culture. At the same time, we critically employ the tools of a variety of informatics and digital technologies on the key questions of the humanities. We use the process of building or making to help us think with – and through – the materials of our study. Currently we offer a Specialization in DH at the MA level and an undergraduate Minor in DH; soon we will also be able to offer a specialization in DH at the PhD level. For more about the program, see https://carleton.ca/dighum/.

Research Project Overview
StudioDH is initially envisioned as an annual public-focused, inside-out community-based research/art collective, where students will have the opportunity to work closely with public- and private-sector partners via a physical ‘pop-up’ style collaboratory or studio, set in the community and open to the public. These would be partners who rely heavily on digital media, including partners in art and entertainment, media production, library and archives, museum, digital gaming, travel and tourism, advertising and technical writing sectors. The successful candidate will take this idea and develop it within the context of the Ottawa region.

The first twelve months will focus on researching and planning how to implement the StudioDH model given the resources available at Carleton and in the community, building capacity for this model to be run into the future and given the applicant’s particular strengths and interests. The incumbent will also have the support of a Research Assistant. There may also be an opportunity for teaching a graduate-level DH course in the applicant’s discipline of interest. In the second twelve months, the applicant will lead the first cohort of MA students through the StudioDH model, putting on a public facing-event or series of events and will assess the success of the model.

Research Project Supervisor and Principal Investigator
The incumbent will work with the Coordinator of the DH Program and members of the DH Management Committee, principally Dr. Shawn Graham and Dr. Laura Banducci.

Salary
The postdoctoral fellow will be offered a salary of $CAD 60,000 per annum, with the additional ability to opt into an extended health and dental benefit plan. The postdoc will not be considered unionized.

Position Duties and Responsibilities
The incumbent of this position will, under the direction of Dr. Shawn Graham be responsible for leading the research activities of the project, including but not limited to the following core responsibilities:

  • develop and implement the StudioDH concept in the context of their understanding of community based DH
  • conduct community based DH work as appropriate in conjunction with the students in the program
  • report twice per year to the DH community at Carleton on the work

Job Requirements
The ideal candidate will have:

  • Experience and research in any aspect of DH type work, understood broadly
  • Experience or enthusiasm for public-facing work
  • Demonstrated teaching and/or supervising experience
  • A relevant PhD in hand awarded within the last ten years
