Subject: Extended deadline Call for Papers DH Benelux 2024 (7 February 2024)
Dear colleagues,
The deadline for the call for Papers for the annual Digital Humanities (DH)
Benelux Conference 2024 has been extended with another week!
These are the revised key dates:
* Extended Abstract Submission Deadline: 7 February 2024
* Notification of Acceptance: End of March 2024
* Dates of conference: 5-7 June 2024 with pre-conference workshops on 4 June
2024. The conference will take place at the Irish College in Leuven.
We encourage you to take advantage of this extension and submit your abstract by
the updated deadline. The call (with the updated submission deadline),
conference theme and other details can be found on the conference
website<https://2024.dhbenelux.org/>. For all other questions you can still
contact Artes Research<http://artes%20research/>.

Subject: CFP: NEH-Funded DH Workshops
The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media is hosting two Statistics
and Network Analysis workshops this August. Those interested in developing a
foundation for understanding the assumptions made in #DH methods are invited to
apply by February 15.
We seek participants interested in developing a conceptual foundation for
understanding the assumptions made in common DH methods, such as statistics,
network analysis, and text mining and analysis. The workshops will introduce
participants to mathematical notation, theories, and application using a
learner-centered, case-study approach, contextualizing each lesson with real
humanities data and questions. We seek a diverse cohort of participants doing DH
research, instruction, and/or related scholarship who wish to learn about the
mathematics behind common DH methods, especially those who have not had access
to this training before.
The first two workshops will be held in person, hosted by RRCHNM at George Mason
University in August 2024. Additional courses will be held in person and online
in 2025 and 2026. Accepted participants’ travel and lodging expenses will be
covered.
2024 Workshop Descriptions
Statistics, August 3-5, 2024
Participants will learn to program in R to run statistical tests and write
functions to express statistical ideas in a guided, scaffolded, and structured
way. Prior to the workshop, participants will download and install R and
RStudio, and the instructor will offer virtual office hours to troubleshoot any
installation issues. During the workshop, participants will learn how to create
data visualizations, as well as calculate and interpret the meaning of measures
of central tendency, variance, hypothesis tests, and other statistical methods
in response to humanistic questions with quantitative and qualitative
(categorical) data.
Graphs and Networks, August 10-12, 2024
Participants will learn to construct and analyze graphs and networks using real-
world examples related to humanistic questions and research agendas. Throughout
the workshop, participants will become familiar with the mathematical concepts
that are foundational to networks as they learn to format network data, analyze
and interpret network structures. They will emerge from this workshop with a
knowledge of the relationship between graphs and networks; the underlying
mathematical concepts of a network; how to format humanities data for network
analysis; and how to quantitatively analyze and interpret network structures.
They will also be introduced to popular cross-platform digital humanities tools
for the visualization and analysis of networks.
