1. Facilitating Collaboration: The INKE Partnership and the Canadian Humanities and Social Sciences Research Commons
Speakers:
Alyssa Arbuckle (Project Manager for INKE)
Ray Siemens (Director of INKE and Canada Research Chair in Humanities Computing, University of Victoria)
Abstract: Open, collaborative, digital scholarship is gaining increasing prominence in Canada and internationally. In our online world, the possibility to co-create and share knowledge across departmental, institutional, and social boundaries is more attainable than ever. The SSHRC-funded Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) Partnership is an international community of multidisciplinary researchers, librarians, publishers, academic-aligned organizations, scholarly associations, training institutes and computer infrastructure groups who have come together to pursue a common goal of facilitating open social scholarship. One of the INKE Partnership’s key endeavours is to collaboratively develop the Canadian Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) Commons. The Canadian HSS Commons is a national-scale digital research commons that will connect HSS researchers in order to accelerate research, development, community building, and engagement across the broad spectrum of specialists and active non-specialists in Canada. This talk will introduce the INKE Partnership and its Canadian HSS Commons, with a focus on how the partnership is facilitating open, collaborative, digital scholarship through this project.
2. Press Play: Enabling Creative Undergraduate Participation in Digital Research
Speakers:
Ahlam Bavi (PhD Student, English and Cultural Studies, UBC-O)
Charlotte Tupman (Research Fellow, History and Digital Humanities Lab, University of Exeter)
Karis Shearer (Associate Professor, English and Cultural Studies, UBC-O)
Emily Murphy (Associate Professor, English and Cultural Studies, UBC-O)
Abstract: This paper explores the challenges and opportunities involved in enabling undergraduates to undertake digital research with international partner institutions. It draws on our experience of establishing the multi-institutional research collaboration “Press Play!: Research Creation, Arts Entrepreneurship, and the Digital Archive,” a pilot internship exchange program offered by The University of British Columbia (Okanagan), University of Exeter, and Concordia University. “Press Play” gives students agency to pitch and pursue a self-directed research-creation project through engagement with partner-institution project data and digital cultural heritage archives. We discuss the practicalities of facilitating student research with partner institutions, including mentorship, sharing of materials and expertise, and establishing training needs, and address how such a collaboration could be adapted to swiftly changing global circumstances in which in-person exchanges might not always be feasible.
3. The Rhetoric, Science, and Technology of Collaboration for Digital Humanities
Speakers:
Ann Hill Duin (Professor, University of Minnesota, University of Ontario Institute of Technology)
Isabel Pedersen (Canada Research Chair, Digital Life, Media, and Culture and Associate Professor, University of Ontario Institute of Technology)
Jason Tham (Assistant Professor, University of Ontario Institute of Technology)
Abstract: An ongoing discussion in our fields –– technical communication and digital culture studies ––concentrates on the way that collaboration is multifaceted. These fields study the rhetoric of collaboration and explore the socio-cultural factors influencing collaboration practices, and keeping our collective fingers on the techniques and tools that enable collaboration. However, we have yet to integrate these dimensions of collaboration into a unified framework. In this presentation, we synthesize the rhetoric, science, and technology of collaboration to consolidate a guiding theoretical framework that has facilitated in building an extensive digital humanities project and a means for digital curatorship. Such foundational knowledge is imperative to prepare researchers and practitioners to design and deploy collaborative research, teaching, and creative projects. As part of this presentation, we will showcase an international digital humanities project that features principles for successful and productive interdisciplinary collaboration.
