[ecrea] Pedagogy, Teaching and Research in the age of Digital Humanities. 8th AIUCD Conference 2019 Cfp

    Pedagogy, Teaching and Research in the age of Digital
    Humanities. 8th AIUCD Conference 2019 (January 23th - 25th, 2019,
    Udine University)

The main topic of the AIUCD (Associazione per l'Informatica Umanistica e 
la Cultura Digitale) 2019 Conference is ‘Pedagogy, teaching, and 
research in the age of Digital Humanities’. The conference aims at 
reflecting on the new possibilities that the digital yields for 
pedagogy, teaching, and scholarly research: how will these transform 
teaching in the humanities? What contributions can humanistic cultural 
critique offer to the digital revolution? What is the connection with 
the digitization plan for Universities outlined by the Ministry? It also 
concerns the Digital Humanities as a new discipline, and this brings 
forward further considerations: how can the new professional figure of 
the digital humanist be developed? Which areas of knowledge define the 
Digital Humanities as a subject of study, research, and teaching? How 
can we recognise, classify, describe, and evaluate research efforts in 
the Digital Humanities?

While open to other topics related to Digital Humanities, proposals for 
contributions are particularly encouraged on the following:

  *
      o General questions:
          + /the epistemological positioning and area of knowledge of DH

About: The Associazione per l'Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura 
Digitale was established in Florence on March 25, 2011. The name chosen 
for the Association highlights the choice to combine the traditionally 
used term of Humanistic Informatics with Digital Culture, to openly 
encompass a wider scope than that of the disciplinary sectors, which may 
include all stakeholders, including cultural institutions (archives, 
libraries and museums) that play a key role in research and teaching in 
the humanities field.
