DESCRIPTION:On November 8th\, 2013\, the School of Arts\, Languages and C
 ultures will be hosting a conference on Digital Humanities for all those
  at the University of Manchester with a stake in this growing area of re
 search activity.  For more information\, please visit the conference web
 site: http://www.alc.manchester.ac.uk/research/events/conferences/digita
 l-humanities/\n\nThe aim of the conference is to foster discussion that 
 explores the potential for Digital Humanities\, to showcase existing ini
 tiatives within the University\, and to identify both the challenges and
  opportunities for such work at the University of Manchester. The intent
 ion is that the conference will act as springboard for a major initiativ
 e to develop this area of activity in the future.\n\nThe event will be h
 eld at the Kanaris Lecture Theatre in the Manchester Museum\, and will c
 onclude with a dinner reception hosted in the Museum’s Fossil Room.  Con
 firmed external speakers include Melissa Terras (UCL) who will speak on 
 her new book\, Defining Digital Humanities\, and also Professor Marilyn 
 Deegan (Kings College London) who will be speaking on the impact of Digi
 tal Humanities.\n\nThe conference will also provide an overview of relev
 ant research and initiatives already underway within the University. We 
 are aware there are many such initiatives\, and we seek contributions fo
 r short talks (no more than eight minutes)\, from academic staff and pos
 tgraduate research students from across campus whose work fits under the
  broad umbrella of Digital Humanties.  We are particularly interested in
  the following themes\, though we welcome proposals in other areas.\n\n•
 	Visualisations and/or working at data and texts at scale  \n•	Digital H
 umanities and/as textual and material studies \n•	Social media and parti
 cipatory models of knowledge formation\n•	The relationship of Open Data 
 and/or Open Access on Digital Humanities scholarship\n•	Research-led tea
 ching and transformative pedagogies\n•	Mapping knowledge – geospatial te
 chnologies and approaches\n\nFor information about registration and subm
 itting an abstract\, please visit the conference website: http://www.alc
