Los Angeles, with four million inhabitants in the city alone and twenty-two million in the region, is a global megacity. If Los Angeles was a country, it would be the fifteenth largest by economy size in the world. By 2050 Los Angeles County is predicted to house 1.5 million more individuals, as the world’s population continues to migrate to the economic and cultural epicenters of the globe. So how does a city like Los Angeles meet challenges related to its economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability in the face of a growing population and unprecedented climate change?<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
Data, or aggregations of observations and evidence, is one tool for thinking about the sustainability of Los Angeles and Southern California at different scales and contexts: parcel, street, neighborhood, town, city, county, state, Pacific Rim, and the globe. Data is also a means by which we can retrospectively evaluate the state of the region and make predictions and suggestions for transitioning to a more sustainable city. The goal of UCLA’s first <a href="http://www.grandchallenges.ucla.edu/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3283be; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Grand Challenges</a> research initiative is to find paths to bring Los Angeles County to 100% sustainability in water and energy with enhanced ecosystem health by 2050. This Grand Challenge is also a data challenge.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">When Urban Meets Data</strong></em>: What happens when urban meets data? <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Urban </em></strong>pertains to the city, implies sophistication, high culture, refinement, and worldliness, resonating with its Greek counterpart, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">polis</em>. What is cosmopolitan exceeds regionalism and national boundaries, connoting world citizenship and a partiality for cross-cultural encounters. The other side of urbanity is pollution, poverty, and crime. But while urban implies grittiness, it also invokes grit and resilience: In the words of Jay-Z, since we made it here, we can make it anywhere.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Data </strong></em>carries its own set of meanings. Data is cold, impersonal, factual, ubiquitous, big, and global. “Big data” joins with the other great technological clichés of the early twenty-first century but nevertheless poses challenges and opportunities, particularly for the audience for this symposium: Angelenos in their guises as citizen scientists, researchers, managers, and decision makers.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
This symposium explores what could happen for a city’s sustainability when urban meets data. <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">UCLA Library</strong> and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge</strong> invite collectors, producers, curators, visualizers, and scholars of data and the city -- our city and others -- to share theory and practice in a series of conversations that can inform new directions in data practice to meet the sustainability challenges of Los Angeles as a cosmopolis. At this meeting, participants will engage and offer provocations on the overlapping themes of urban data, open data, data sharing, and sustainability. How can we gather, use, and share data to understand the many facets of Los Angeles at small and local, large and global scales and meet the challenges of sustainability understood narrowly and broadly as we aspire to thrive from now to 2050 and beyond?</div>

<span class="s1"><strong>ChartEx: Tools for the Analysis of Medieval Charters</strong>. <a href="http://www.chartex.org/">ChartEx</a>, or "Charter Excavator," is a collaborative digital humanities project developed as part of the second round of the Digging into Data Challenge. The core tools, still in development, are designed to "read" full text medieval documents (charters) using Natural Language Processing, identify persons and places in individual documents, and then propose relationships between the persons and places identified across a set of charters using data mining techniques. After an introduction to the project, students will have an opportunity to experiment with the annotation tool used to train the system, and with the virtual workbench used to analyze and manipulate the data.</span></div>

The pilot project for Stanford University Press’s <a href="http://stanfordpress.typepad.com/blog/2015/01/publishing-digital-scholarship-a-blog-series.html">new digital publishing platform</a>, <em>Enchanting the Desert </em>is the web-based revival of a photographic slideshow made in ca. 1900 at the Grand Canyon by commercial photographer Henry Peabody. It is the earliest surviving mass-marketed visual representation of the region, meaning that it serves as a template for what people actually saw when they saw the Grand Canyon. Serially, as they were meant to be viewed, the photographs are disorienting, obscuring the space produced by Peabody’s portrayal of what would become the most visited national park in the country.<br />
<br />

What ensues is an interactive, non-linear, spatial narrative that uses Peabody’s images as a guide to the region. Combining novel cartographic design with a custom interface that allows readers to learn about the Grand Canyon breathes life into a historical document that in its own time also attempted to enhance how people knew these incredible landscapes.<br />

Curious about Arduino, physical computing, or the internet of things? Join the DH program for a workshop and demo with Professor <a href="http://www.tft.ucla.edu/2011/09/faculty-steve-mamber/">Stephen Mamber</a> (Film and Television).<br />
<br />
<b>Thursday, January 29, from 3 to 4 p.m.</b><br />
<b>UCLA Young Research Library Laboratory for Digital Cultural Heritage (in the <a href="http://unitdev.library.ucla.edu/cris/web/images/yrl_map_researchcommons.jpg">Research Commons</a>)</b><br />
<br />
<i>Does the Internet of Things have relevance to the Digital Humanities? I’m interested in seeing what possible interest there might be in having a working group and/or class explore ways that using microcomputers might lead to some projects in this area. I’ve gotten hold of some Internet Galileos (an arduino-compatible board with built-in ethernet) and some nice sensor kits, and in this workshop I thought I could demonstrate how they work, and we could have a discussion about setting up ways for us to go further.</i><br />

Working on controversies – whether related to immigration, the environment, or police behavior -- can be greatly facilitated by crawling the websites maintained by actors involved in any controversy and thereby analyze their online connections.<br />
<br />
These workshops are designed to introduce non-technical users to a new web crawler, Hyphe, designed so that researchers can control the building of a web corpus (by filtering and qualifying the websites to include in the corpus) while simultaneously providing powerful tools capable of handling the huge amount of data available on the web.<br />
<br />
Using modern and robust technologies such as <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/">Lucene</a>, <a href="http://www.mongodb.org/">MongoDB</a>, <a href="http://scrapy.org/">Scrapy</a>, <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/">Twisted</a>, <a href="http://thrift.apache.org/">Thrift</a>, <a href="http://dominojs.org/">Domino.js</a>, <a href="http://sigmajs.org/">Sigma.js</a> or <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/">Bootstrap</a>, Hyphe can manage multiple corpora within each instance, bypassing crawling issues (redirections, cookies, javascript-only pages, …), handling multi-websites entities from the web interface, tagging the results, and so on…<br />
<br />
Hyphe is easy to use. Workshop participants will simply need a laptop equipped with a conventional web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc) and access to the internet. Depending on time and interest, the Wednesday workshop will also provide an overview of Gephi.<br />

<br />
October 24-25<br />
San Diego State University@ The new Aztec Student Union<br />
<br />
This ThatCamp is special because it is organized through a unique collaboration between 4 regional institutions: San Diego State University, UCSD, Cal State University at San Marcos, and University of San Diego. Inspired by the open, grass-roots efforts of our regional networking group, DHSoCal, this ThatCamp promotes working together and collaborating across disciplinary, departmental, and institutional divides.<br />
<br />
All ThatCamps are open to all kinds of campers, but this one is envisioned as a way to get new folks engaged in the DH and to create new networks of collaboration. So, if you have any kind of inkling to learn about the Digital Humanities– whether you’re already a dedicated digital humanist researcher or an absolute newbie, whether you are a student, teacher, or curious community member– come to camp!<br />
<br />
Our ThatCamp is about jumping into the Digital Humanities, getting wet, and learning to swim.<br />
<br />
Dive in. The water’s fine!<br />
<br />
For information and registration, please go to the <a href="http://dhsocal2014.thatcamp.org/" target="_blank">THATCamp DHSoCal website</a>.<br />
<br />

Someone (I'm sorry that I can't remember exactly who it was), mentioned that the term "Digital Humanities" is a loaded one, and said that they avoided using it with their colleagues.<br />
<br />
I'd like to know if you also avoid using the term DH. And if so, what ways do you describe your DH-related work, if not with that term? janahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06538362162139679868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007495194464285115.post-23607547230678618742014-04-20T16:12:00.000-07:002014-05-14T16:16:56.164-07:004Humanities Event at CSUN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Date:</b> May 16, 2014<br />
<b>Time:</b> 10:00 am - 5:00 pm<br />
<b>Location:</b> The Linda Nichols Joseph Room of Jerome Richfield Hall (JR 319), California State University, Northridge (<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Jerome+Richfield+Hall/@34.2388771,-118.5306116,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x80c29a5502444261:0x17538287c996a10e" rel="nofollow">Map</a>)<br />
<b>Contact:</b> Scott Kleinman (scott.kleinman@csun.edu)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4humanities.org/" rel="nofollow">4Humanities</a> is a group of digital humanists who seek to assist in advocacy for the humanities by harnessing the skills and resources of the digital humanities community. On May 16, the local Southland 4Humanities chapters will meet at California State University, Northridge to work on the WhatEvery1Says Research Project (#WhatEvery1Says).<br />
<br />
WhatEvery1Says emerges from the local chapter of 4Humanities at UC Santa Barbara (4Humanities@UCSB) to identify public perceptions of the humanities, formulate the core value(s) of the humanities, and strategize ways to “frame” these values for effective communication (through framing narratives, metaphors, scenarios, paradigms). The project’s purpose is to canvass and analyze public and academic discourse about the humanities in order to help advocates develop a coherent message about why the humanities matter to people and society. The project will conduct systematic, strategic research on perceptions of the humanities, on what academics and others believe the core values of the humanities to be, and on the way people “frame” narratives about the humanities. Data will be gathered through text mining and analyzed through forms of computational analysis such as topic modeling. Further information is available on the <a href="http://4humwhatevery1says.pbworks.com/w/page/80311850/Meeting%202014-05-16" rel="nofollow">Project Overview Site</a>.<br />
<br />
Anyone who would like to become involved with 4Humanities or WhatEvery1Says is welcome to join us. Although the primary goal of the meeting will be planning and strategizing for WhatEvery1Says, there will be a time slot for people to talk give short presentations on whatever DH topics they would like. Lightning talks to longer demos will both be considered, and the timetable below will be adjusted accordingly.<br />
<br />
The following is a preliminary schedule which is likely to undergo some change before the date of the meeting.<br />
<br />
<b>10:00-12:00</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Introductions</li>
<li>Background on the Project</li>
<li>Discussion of opportunities for grant funding to support WhatEvery1Says and/or other 4Humanities activities.</li>
<li>Creating some timelines for some smaller 4Humanities projects or discussion of structures for collaboration.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>12:00-1:00: Lunch</b><br />
<br />
<b>1:00-4:00</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Introductions of afternoon attendees and morning re-cap.</li>
<li>Preparatory work and training for topic modelling.</li>
<li>Collective or small group run-through on a small corpus.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>4:00-5:00</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A time slot for spill-over from the previous session and for people to talk about and/or demo their DH projects, either in the form of lightning talks or "extended" lightning talks.</li>
</ul>

What they are experts in. What it is easy for them to learn. Thus, it is easy to forget what it is like to be the student who struggles in the classroom. In fact, many professors may never have had the experience of struggling to learn--they probably effortlessly got A’s or at least easily understood how to teach themselves a topic. How can they, then, sympathize with and, more importantly, effectively teach students who do not intuitively understand their subject matter?</span></span></div>

For me, there has been no better way to improve my teaching, specifically my teaching in the composition classroom, than to take up a subject at which I am abysmal. A year ago, I started indoor rock climbing as a serious hobby. As someone who has always been terrible at physical activities, this was an enormous challenge. (To put this in some perspective, I was always the last kid picked for sports teams in school and am generally viewed as klutzy by all my friends--I trip over curbs.)</span></span></div>

However, I felt silly because I could not do basic exercises that seemed effortless for other people and it was embar</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">rassing to fail so publicly. Moreover, it was disheartening to see people come to the gym for the first time and climb routes that I had tried over and over again for weeks and still failed to climb. Finally, I hired a personal coach. Not just because I knew lessons would help me but because I couldn’t see what I was doing wrong. My coach was wonderful - encouraging without false praise (that I could tell, anyway), enthusiastic even when I felt disheartened, and patient. As good as this was, though, it was not enough. I had to rethink my learning style and adapt it to my new situation.</span></div>

I needed much smaller goals. So, for example, I decided I would work on using my feet more efficiently</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This in and of itself is not a small goal and I spent many weeks just on that goal (I anticipate many more). As most of us realize, for students that struggle, goal-setting and repetition is necessary. In the writing classroom, for example, no student is going to write a good paper if they only have a handful of chances to write a thesis statement during the semester--and yet this is often all we give them. Each semester, I have all of my students diagnose their writing weaknesses and generate a plan to improve them. However, I was beginning to think that I should emphasize more repetition in these plans. Repetition has been much maligned in pedagogy, probably because of its association with rote memorization, but repetition is necessary if one is struggling.</span></span></div>

However, I began to realize that many of my students who struggled probably would not have this awareness yet, especially those who were young and in composition classes. How could I give my students the sense that they were progressing tremendously even if their grades were not improving? How could I show them that suddenly learning to see that a paragraph had no thesis was an enormous step - and the first step to being able to write a thesis? I’ve always been steadfast about not grading based on effort and I still believe that, but I have started to consider adding an “improvement” metric to my grading rubric. A few years ago, I did have an “improvement from draft” metric, but I found it too time-consuming to grade in large numbers. My experience climbing, however, has made me return to this idea and search for other solutions to this problem.</span></span></div>

Academics choose to pursue subjects in which they do not fail very often. When I went climbing, I was failing spectacularly--and publicly--every hour of every day I was climbing. This is quite different from job market rejection or publication rejection--those can all be justified or explained away in one’s mind. I was forcing myself to do something that I knew would cause me to feel fear, failure, and frustration. The mental and physical discipline it took for me to fail repeatedly and try again was completely different from the kind of academic discipline I had developed over the years. This is perhaps the hardest lesson I want my students to learn. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They have been taught that all failure is something to be ashamed of and something to be avoided. Thus, I have decided that one entire assignment in my next writing class will be about writing failures, since all good writing entails drafts and revisions. The students will save their failed writing attempts and explain what they have learned from them. Focusing entirely on those drafts and revisions and why precisely they decided to delete paragraphs or change introductions will, I hope, make students feel more comfortable with this concept.</span></span></div>

I am no longer “Adrianne: scholar, book lover, pianist, and Wikipedian”. I am now “Adrianne: scholar, book lover, pianist, Wikipedian, and rock climber”. This was brought home most vividly to me one day when I was climbing outdoors here in Los Angeles and people on the beach were marveling at those of us climbing. Suddenly I realized, I used to be the person saying how crazy or impossible such feats were and now I was the one doing them. I had radically switched subject positions in a way I did not think possible for myself. That, I realized, is what I want my students to experience - that radical switch and growth. It is an enormous goal and I would love to hear how others work at achieving it with their students.</span></span></div>

From July 28-August 3, DH SoCal member Scott Kleinman worked with a fabulous group digital humanists to produce this tool from scratch as part of the <a data-mce-href="http://www.oneweekonetool.org/" href="http://www.oneweekonetool.org/" style="color: #900000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">One Week | One Tool project</a>.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Serendip-o-matic connects your sources to digital materials located in libraries, museums, and archives around the world. By first examining your research interests, and then identifying related content in locations such as the <a data-mce-href="http://dp.la/" href="http://dp.la/" style="color: #900000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Digital Public Library of America</a> (DPLA), <a data-mce-href="http://europeana.eu/" href="http://europeana.eu/" style="color: #900000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Europeana</a>, <a data-mce-href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/" href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/" style="color: #900000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Trove Australia</a>, and <a data-mce-href="http://www.flickr.com/commons" href="http://www.flickr.com/commons" style="color: #900000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Flickr Commons</a>, Serendip-o-matic's serendipity engine helps you discover photographs, documents, maps and other primary sources.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.390625px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Whether you begin with text from an article, a Wikipedia page, or a full Zotero collection, Serendip-o-matic's special algorithm extracts key terms and returns a surprising reflection of your interests. Because the tool is designed mostly for inspiration, search results aren't meant to be exhaustive, but rather suggestive, pointing you to materials you might not have discovered. At the very least, the magical input-output process helps you step back and look at your work from a new perspective.</div>

In other good news, Scott Kleinman has received an NEH Scholarly Editions and Translations grant for the first step in the creation of an Archive of Early Middle English. The project, a collaboration with Dorothy Kim of Vassar College (but who received her PhD from UCLA) and staff members from several other colleges, will produce a digital archive of manuscripts written in (or at least containing some) English between about 1100 and 1350. The project is just getting off the ground, but more information can be found on the <a href="http://aeme.emesoc.org/">Archive of Early Middle English</a> web site.</div>

The <a href="http://dp.la/">Digital Public Library of America</a> launched on April 18, 2013. Founding Executive Director <b>Dan Cohen</b> will outline the three main elements of the DPLA: a portal that knits together the collections of America's libraries, archives, and museums; a technical platform that will enable new, transformative uses of these collections and let others build upon them; and advocacy for a strong public option for reading and research in the twenty-first century, including an expansion of available open-access materials. Cohen will also discuss how the DPLA complements the roles of public and research libraries, and explore some unique ways that the DPLA will be used.<br />
<br />
Daniel J. Cohen is an Associate Professor of History and the Director of the <a href="http://chnm.gmu.edu/">Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media</a> at George Mason University. He has recently been appointed as the founding Executive Director of the <a href="http://dp.la/">Digital Public Library of America</a>, which is launching in April 2013. At the Center, Cohen has overseen projects ranging from new publishing ventures (PressForward) to online collections (September 11 Digital Archive) to software for scholarship (the popular Zotero research tool). His books include Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web (with Roy Rosenzweig) and Equations from God: Pure Mathematics and Victorian Faith. Cohen was an inaugural recipient of the American Council of Learned Societies’ Digital Innovation Fellowship. In 2011 he received the Frederick G. Kilgour Award from the American Library Association for his work in digital humanities, and in 2012 he was named one of the top “tech innovators” in academia by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Cohen blogs at dancohen.org and tweets @dancohen.<br />
