Dear Colleagues,
I’m passing along this announcement on behalf of a colleague. It looks
like a great event.
Best,
Verletta
ALA/ACRL/Asian African and Middle Eastern Studies Interest Group
(AAMESIG) is organizing a virtual research forum titled
"Digital Humanities: South Asian and Beyond'.
Date: April 25th, 11:00 am-12:30 pm EST.
Registration Link : https://go.rutgers.edu/alqfvm9o
This research forum will feature three prominent speakers, Dibyadyuti
Roy, Deepthi Murli and Elizabeth Lhost who have worked on a variety of
digital humanities projects. They will discuss their process of engaging
with community, digital tools and methods to facilitate
interdisciplinary scholarship across or within a broad range of concepts
and the challenges of conducting a Global South focused DH project. We
will hear about India’s first Digital Humanities collective (DHARTI),
transcultural consumption of Indian and Indian-imitation textiles in the
18th and 19th century, and Indian Princely States Online Legal History
Archive (IPSOLHA). .

Subject: CfP "Science in Humanities, Humanities in Science: Embedded Connections"
Dear Colleagues,
Please find hereafter the call for papers for the
2023 Cain Conference "Science in Humanities, Humanities in Science:
Embedded Connections"
that will take place at the Science History Institute, Philadelphia, USA
October 4-6, 2023.
Typically, the relationship between STEM fields and humanities fields
gets discussed in terms of observation, exchange, and travel. From
the outside looking in, specialists in the humanities scrutinize and
critique the questions, methods, or conclusions of the sciences, and
vice versa. Specialists from the sciences may borrow from, visit,
or embed themselves in the humanities, or vice versa. Interdisciplinary
and transnational initiatives coax specialists of all sorts out of their
disciplinary territories to examine and address complex problems together.
This Cain Conference brings together scholars and practitioners who,
on their own and in their collaborations, have consciously developed,
deployed, or critiqued such embedded connections, cultivating and
interrogating the humanistic dimension of STEM and heed for the STEM
that’s within the humanities in pursuit of scholarly, advocacy, and/or
business goals. It also brings together historians and social scientists of
science, technology, medicine, and environment who have studied how such
embedded thinking-otherwise has worked within different disciplinary
(or non-disciplinary!) institutions and intellectual cultures, past and
present.
What can specialists in humanities fields learn from how specialists in
STEM disciplines understand and go about humanistic thinking, and
vice-versa? What can those “moonlighting” in this fashion learn through
putting their methods side by side with those of specialists? Are “STEM”
and “humanities” accurate or useful shorthands for the kinds of thinking
in question? How do practitioners in intrinsically multi-modal fields
rework humanistic and technical thinking in bringing them together? What
makes individual and collaborative work of this sort succeed or fail –
and what are the standards for judging? Interdisciplinarity is often
prescribed as a therapeutic for the tunnel-vision by which disciplinary
methods can end up working against their putative goals.
Yet thinking that follows embedded connections, too, may trip over its own
feet. Such pairings of goals and perverse consequences (or sometimes
consequences and perverse goals!) will serve as organizing themes for
this workshop.
These four themes are:
- Care and harm
- Immediacy and deferral
- Recovery and waste
- Stability and crisis
The conference will take place in person in Philadelphia at the Science
History Institute
The Call for Papers is also available in greater details here:
https: www.sciencehistory.orgsitesdefaultfilesembedded_connections_call_for
_papers.pdf
Feel free to share it widely, with anyone you think might be interested.
Note that the deadline is by April 1, 2023, and that proposals should be
submitted to embeddedconnections@sciencehistory.org, indicating which
one or two themes your presentation would align with.
For any questions, please contact Charlotte A. Abney Salomon, Ph.D.,
Associate Director, Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry:

Thanks!
Brigitte
