What: Workshop "Critical perspectives on cultural heritage: Re-visiting digitisation"
Where: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/63272495423
When: 26 October, 9-12hrs
Organizers: The workshop is co-organized by Linnaeus University (Centre for Applied Heritage<https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/centre-for-applied-heritage/> and iInstitute<https://lnu.se/en/research/searchresearch/iinstitute/>) and Swedish National Heritage Board<https://www.raa.se/in-english/>

About: Today, the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data are creating new value for the descriptive information in the cultural heritage sector. Libraries, museums, heritage management and archives are seeing new possibilities in sharing by turning their catalogues into open datasets that can be directly accessed, allowing cultural heritage data to be circulated, navigated, analyzed and re-arranged at unprecedented levels. This is supported by research funding bodies, governments and EU policies and numerous political interests, resulting in enormous investment in digitization projects which make cultural heritage information openly available and machine readable. But before deploying this data, one must ask: is this data fit for deployment?
Libraries, museums, heritage management and archives have long histories. Both the collections they house and the language they use(d) to describe said collections are products of that historical legacy, shaped by, amongst others, institutionalized colonialism, racism and patriarchy. Yet descriptive information is now being digitized and shared as if that legacy is not inherent to the collections. Instead, existing units of information are being distributed through new Web 3.0 technologies, bringing with it an outdated knowledge-base. Besides the risk of progressive techniques being applied to regressive content, we may also sacrifice the development of new knowledge in libraries, museums, heritage management and archives aimed at facilitating socially sustainable futures, remediating exploitative historical legacies.
For this workshop, we have invited researchers and practitioners to discuss ways in which digitisation approaches may be set up to change the nature and legacy of cultural collection prior to digital dissemination.
Welcome!

Come work with us!
CAPTURE (ERC-COG) project is hiring two two-year postdocs https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=399145 One of the positions is in archaeology or related discipline, and one in information studies, information science, science and technology studies or similar.
Deadline for both positions July 30, 2021
Two Postdoctoral Fellows
Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference in society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces. Uppsala University has over 45,000 students, more than 7,000 employees and a turnover of around SEK 7 billion.
Two fulltime postdoctoral positions for two years in a five-year long project.
The positions are placed at the Department of ALM (Archival, Library & Information, and Museum & Cultural Heritage Studies) within the project CApturing Paradata for documenTing data creation and Use for the REsearch of the future (CAPTURE) financed by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant (ERC-COG). The principal investigator is Professor Isto Huvila. More information about the research project can be found here.
Information about the Department of ALM and research conducted there can be found at http://www.uu.se/en/research/capture
The positions are related to two specific sub-projects of CAPTURE:
Project 1: The postdoctoral fellow is responsible for a sub-project that investigates, reviews, and develops methods and protocols for capturing and documenting archaeological paradata (i.e. data on how archaeological research data is created, used and processed).
Project 2: The postdoctoral fellow is responsible for a sub-project that tests in a series of field trials promising approaches and protocols for capturing, documenting and using paradata (data on how archaeological research data is created, used and processed) and the usability of existing paradata for enabling the reuse of archaeological data.
Principal duties: The postdoctoral fellows are mainly supposed to be engaged in research. A postdoctoral fellow is expected to compile and present research results for colleagues, publish in relevant scholarly journals and to present research results in international conferences. The employed postdoctoral research fellows are expected to plan, initiate, conduct and develop independently goal-oriented empirical research in an interdisciplinary research environment. Certain administrative duties associated with the project and supervision of students are also possible. The postdoctoral fellows are expected to actively participate in the work of the project, contribute to the development of the collaborative research environment within the project and also at the Department of ALM as a whole.
Requirements: To be eligible for employment in project 1, one must have completed a PhD in information studies, library and information science, science studies, archaeology or another discipline relevant to the work duties. The candidate is expected to demonstrate very good skills in both written and oral English.
To be eligible for employment in project 2, one must have completed a PhD in archaeology or another discipline relevant to the work duties. The candidate is expected to demonstrate very good skills in both written and oral English.
The PhD degree should not be more than three years old by the application deadline, unless special circumstances exist. Special circumstances include absence due to illness, parental leave or clinical practice, appointments of trust in trade unions or similar circumstances. This must be clearly stated in the application. A successful applicant may not have held a postdoctoral position at Uppsala University in the same or nearby field for more than a year.
Additional qualifications: Special weight will be attached to the applicant’s research expertise, but pedagogical expertise and administrative skills will also be taken into consideration. In the evaluation of research expertise, the most important factor is quality.
Meriting: In project 1, relevant documented practical or scholarly experience relating to data, documentation practices in archaeology, science studies, archiving and preservation or management of research data is an advantage. Also experience relating to information practices or behaviour is considered as an advantage as well as experience of the use of both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
In project 2, relevant practical or scholarly experience of creating and reusing fieldwork and research data, archaeological documentation, information management and metadata is an advantage.
Knowledge of at least one Scandinavian language is an advantage in the both projects but is not required of a successful applicant.
Uppsala University strives to be an inclusive workplace that promotes equal opportunities and attracts qualified candidates who can contribute to the University’s excellence and diversity. We welcome applications from all sections of the community and from people of all backgrounds.
How to apply: A complete application must contain:

Speaker: Geoffrey Rockwell
Title: The Ethics of Datafication and AI
Time: May 26 (Wednesday), 16:00-17:00
Location: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/6246053108
Summary - We all want artificial intelligence to be responsible, trustworthy, and good... the question is how to get beyond principles and check lists. In this paper I will argue for the importance of the data used in training machines, especially when it comes to avoiding bias. Further, I will argue that there is a role for humanists and others who have been concerned with the datafication of the cultural record for some time. Not only have we traditionally been concerned with social, political and ethical issues, but we have developed practices around the curation of the cultural record. We need to ask about the ethics around big data and the creation of training sets. We need to advocate for an ethic of care and repair when it comes to digital archives that can have cascading impact.
About the speaker - Geoffrey Rockwell is a Professor of Philosophy and Digital Humanities, Director of the Kule Institute for Advanced Study and Associate Director of AI for Society signature area at the University of Alberta. He publishes on textual visualization, text analysis, ethics of technology and on digital humanities including a co-authored book Hermeneutica from MIT Press (2016). He is co-developer of Voyant Tools (voyant-tools.org<http://voyant-tools.org>), an award winning suite of text analysis tools. He is currently the President of the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities.

Title: Legal tools for digital (humanities) research: Processing research data in compliance with European copyright and data privacy law
Time: May 18 (Tuesday), 14:30-15:30
Location: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/62460531082
BIO
Vanessa Hannesschläger is a digital humanist with a focus on modern Austrian literature. She teaches at the University of Vienna and is a postdoc in the digital edition project "Peter Handke - notebooks" at the German Literature Archive Marbach. She is co-chair of the DARIAH working group ELDAH (Ethics and Legality in Digital Arts and Humanities) and vice-chair of the CLARIN Legal and Ethical Issues Committee (CLIC). In addition, she is involved in the Open Science Network Austria (OANA), where she focuses on legal frameworks for research data.
ABSTRACT
Accelerated by the pandemic, the transformation of science and research methods into digital approaches is gaining momentum. This is especially true in the humanities, where the digital transformation has been gaining ground since the turn of the century. With the Digital Humanities (DH), a new research discipline has emerged that both requires and develops new types of infrastructures for researchers: While the core humanities infrastructure of the 20th century was the library, the 21st century calls for a less haptic, yet equally reliable scholarship support system. The European Union has understood this situation and reacted with the development of the concept of European Research Infrastructure Consortia (ERICs). Two of the EU funded ERICs are dedicated to the support of DH researchers. The European Research Infrastructure for Language Resources and Technology (CLARIN) focuses on supporting linguistic and language research, while the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH) has a cross-disciplinary approach. But the continuous amplification of European integration does not only affect research, it affects our society as a whole. The rules that we jointly live by in the EU - the European legislation - continue to develop and affect us more and more in our everyday lives. One example well known by all internet users are the cookie information pop-ups asking for our consent to the data processing by websites. This is a result of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European law to protect its citizens’ right to privacy. Another controversially discussed piece of European legislation is the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. This directive is the EU’s reaction to the challenges of the digital age for the protection of intellectual property. The protection of data privacy and intellectual property are two fields that also heavily affect researchers in the humanities and beyond. It is thus not surprising that both aforementioned ERICs have founded their own committees to deal with the legal framework of research, both of which focus on these two legal fields. The CLARIN Legal and Ethical Issues Committee (CLIC) has published a number of whitepapers on copyright, licensing, and data privacy to support scholars in legally conducting their research. The DARIAH working group “Ethics and Legality in Digital Arts and Humanities” (ELDAH) offers workshops and provides training material on these topics to help educate researchers on legal aspects relevant to their work. But the support provided does not end there. In this talk, two legal tools developed by the mentioned committees will be introduced. The CLARIN Public License Selector is a tool that supports its users in choosing an appropriate public license for their work. It enables scholars to share their findings in the most open manner possible in compliance with copyright law. The DARIAH ELDAH Consent Form Wizard provides researchers with consent form templates by the help of which the consent of data subjects to the processing of their data for research purposes can be collected.
These tools enable students, scholars, and other research institution staff in the field of humanities and beyond to comply with European legislation when furthering our joint knowledge about culture and thought. In this talk, the legal conditions that the tools answer too will be outlined and a hands on demonstration of how to use them will be given.

Dear all,
The 6th Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries Conference (DHNB 2022) will be held at Uppsala University, in Sweden, on 15–18 March 2022. Rudimentary webpage is found here: dig-hum-nord.eu/dhnb2022<http://dig-hum-nord.eu/dhnb2022>
DHNB conferences focus on research, education and communication in the interdisciplinary field of digital humanities in the Nordic and Baltic regions and beyond. DHNB 2022 highlights the two way relationship between digital humanities theory and praxis, and society. Research in the digital humanities moves beyond technological implementations to include debates and critical discourse on topics directly relating to society, such as, for example, activism in broader cultural and institutional settings. DHNB 2022 welcomes presentations relating to how digital humanities respond to society outside the immediate confines of academia, for example concerning stakeholders of memory and culture (e.g., Media, GLAM institutions and other memory and heritage actors), and the more immediate societal and political sphere. The DHNB 2022 conference has the ambition to put digital humanities in action.
DHNB 2022 is organised jointly by the Centre for Digital Humanities Uppsala (CDHU), the Department of ALM at Uppsala University, and the Uppsala University Library. Due to the pandemic, the conference will be held as a hybrid event, which enables participants the choice of digital or physical participation. More information about this and other practicalities will follow.
A call for submissions will be out in May/June 2021.
For any question regarding DHNB 2022, please contact Karl Berglund (firstname.lastname at abm.uu.se<mailto:firstname.lastname at abm.uu.se>).
Sincerely,
Karl Berglund, on behalf of the DHNB 2022 conference planning group.
