    Teaching Digital Humanities in German Studies [GSA Panel CfP]

German Studies Association 47th Annual Conference 5-8 October, 2023, Le
Centre Sheraton Montreal in Montréal, Quebec.

Panel sponsored by the GSA Digital Humanities Interdisciplinary Network

“How do I teach that to Humanities students?” The GSA Digital Humanities
Network invites research papers, case studies, and explorations of best
practices  on digital literacy, pedagogy, didactics and curricular
reform in German Studies. Scholars at all career stages (graduate
student to faculty) are invited to submit.

Digital tools and methods are becoming part of the Humanities
curriculum. Their application in the German Studies classroom, however,
remains under construction, despite a variety of available books,
tutorials, and online courses. Motivating Humanities students to learn
digital research skills, managing preconceptions about technical
abilities, and “first steps” frustrations can be challenging. For this
panel, contributions on constructing meaningful and motivating DH course
content for German Studies, examples of best practices for didactic
scaffolding and staging in digital and programming skills sections of
classes , enabling productive collaborative project work, managing
learner groups with heterogeneous skills and expectations, and
meaningful assessment and feedback, are especially encouraged. How do
you turn humanities students from technical hesitation to self-empowered
tinkering? Which skills, skill levels and methodological reflection
should we regard as standard in DH? Contributions on including critical
AI, productive inclusions of text-generating AI (e.g. ChatGPT), as well
as case studies of (productive) failures teaching DH in the German
classroom are encouraged.

Any questions about this panel, its scope and format can be sent to
Thorsten Ries (Thorsten.Ries@austin.utexas.edu) and Fabian Offert
(offert@ucsb.edu).

    Current Digital Research in German Studies[GSA Panel CfP] 

German Studies Association 47th Annual Conference5-8 October, 2023, Le
Centre Sheraton Montreal in Montréal, Quebec.

Panel sponsored by the GSA Digital Humanities Interdisciplinary Network

The GSA Digital Humanities Network invites research papers, case
studies, and explorations of best practices at the interface of German
Studies and Digital Humanities. Scholars at all career stages (graduate
student to faculty) are invited to submit.

The Digital Humanities have matured in recent years. At the same time,
new research questions, methods, tools, opportunities and challenges
constantly arise, especially in the area of (critical) AI, as well as
new areas of humanistic inquiry and critical reflection of digital
research methodology, digital technologies and digital cultures. German
Studies is no exception to this trajectory, and a reflection of current
developments in the field is more necessary than ever.

This panel especially encourages submissions for presentations on
current advances in the following areas: 

  

    Digital scholarly editing, scholarly platforms and databases

    German digital culture (from Lutz’ Stochastische Gedichteto German
    digital feminist cultures, and Black German, Asian German,
    intersectional and diverse online communities, German games and nerd
    cultures, social, political and intersectional challenges of German
    digital cultures)

    Natural language processing and computational literary studies,
    applied computational and corpus linguistics

    Critical code studies, critical AI studies, and DH methodological
    reflections (current challenges from born-digital artifacts to
    ChatGPT in German and other AI-related challenges in the DACH region)

    The Intersection of DH and media theory

    Environmental and political impacts of digital technologies,
    reflections thereof in German literature and culture

Any questions about this panel, its scope and format can be sent to
Thorsten Ries (Thorsten.Ries@austin.utexas.edu) and Fabian Offert
(offert@ucsb.edu).
