Collaboration Toward An International DH Training Network Digital.Humanities@Oxford Summer School 2012 Merton College 6 July 2012 Ray SiemensU Victoria siemens@uvic.ca
An International Training Network • After several years of success and growth -- culminating in 2012 with over 400 attendees -- the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) announced this week the establishment of an international partnered network of DH training institutes involving also the Digital.Humanities@Oxford Summer School (DH@Oxford), the Culture and Technology European Summer School in Digital Humanities (DH@Leipzig), and the Digital Humanities Winter Institute (DHWI), with more locations to be announced soon. • DH@Oxford (next, 2-6 July 2012) • DH@Leipzig (next, 23-31 July 2012) • DHWI (next, 7-11 Jan 2013) • DHSI (next, 10-14 June 2013) • Elizabeth Burr, DH@Leipzig, http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ • James Cummings, DH@Oxford, http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/ • Jennifer Guiliano, DHWI, http://mith.umd.edu/dhwi/ • Sebastian Rahtz, DH@Oxford, http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/ • Ray Siemens, DHSI, http://dhsi.org/
Types of DH Training, Bottom-Up • Informal / Peer Networking, Up • Collegial discussion • Online networking • Brown-bag sessions • Formal consultations • Local skills-based workshops • Regional skills-based workshops • National skills-based workshops • International skills-based workshops
Types of DH Training, Top-Down • Formal Curriculum, Accredited, PhD-Down • Dedicated PhD programs • Dedicated Masters programs • Dedicated Undergraduate programs • DH 'inflected' programs • Occasional accredited DH curriculum
A Strategy for DHSI • Work the ‘sweet spot’, up • Focus on • Blending formally-directed and participant-driven curriculum, within an evolving accreditation model • Continuing the slow development of an interconnected network of like training institutes, possibly (as has been suggested) toward an international, institutionally-distributed, and accredited DH curriculum • Working with everyone in the community, including exemplary partners
