The main topic of the AIUCD 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
in relation to the systems of Academic Research Areas
(Settori Scientifico-Disciplinari) and Recruiting in Italy;/
+ the positioning of DH in the European and International
academic systems;
+ the evaluation of research in DH beyond traditional
publications;
+ dissemination, public history, and crowdsourcing within
research projects;
+ the role of inter(multi-trans-cross)-disciplinary DH
research in European projects, enquiry, and teaching.
o Pedagogy and teaching questions:
+ /teaching DH: which models, technologies, and methods?/
+ teaching the humanities in secondary schools and
universities with DH tools;
+ teaching DH at the University: how is it taught today?
+ DH and media: production, dissemination, and analytical
prospects
+ teaching history and DH;
+ DH and didactic strategies;
+ DH and hands-on teaching practices;
+ DH and primary source teaching;
+ Big Data methodologies and technologies in DH research and
teaching.
o Questions concerning research efforts:
+ /statistical and quantitative research methods and their
teaching applications;/
+ Data Science and the role of DH in the definition of new
knowledge;
+ Information science and DH: meeting points and
methodological integration;
+ cultural and social impact of humanities research with
computational methodologies;
+ Semantic web technologies and linked open data in the
