'Some Preconditions for Open Future[s]: Digital Humanities, the Engaged Public, and an emerging Role for Open Social Scholarship'. UCLDH Susan Hockey annual lecture with Ray Siemens.
In this, the sixth lecture in the annual UCLDH Susan Hockey Lecture series, Ray Siemens will consider the emerging role of open social scholarship in enhancing connection between academic work in the humanities and the public audience that is engaged in and by work in the humanities.
Open social scholarship involves creating and disseminating research and research technologies to a broad audience of specialists and active non-specialists in ways that are accessible and significant to everyone; those who subscribe to its practice engage it across research, service, and teaching activities -- examples of which will be noted and considered, tracing intersections of work in open access and open scholarship movements, the digital humanities’ methodological commons and community of practice, grassroots teaching and training initiatives, contemporary online practices, and public facing “citizen scholarship,” with a practice-oriented mandate.
This lecture has now been postponed until 2021. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
This event is organised by UCL Centre for Digital Humanities, part of the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies.
