I am no longer at DIGHUMLAB Denmark but now in Perth, Western Australia, and will start work Monday 15 July as Professor of Cultural Visualisation at Media Culture and Creative Arts, Curtin University, Australia.
Please direct questions on DIGHUMLAB.dk and DARIAH Denmark to dighumlab@gmail.com next week, Monday 15 July. Please direct all DIGHUMLAB and DARIAH queries to dighumlab@gmail.com
Over on the dighumlab.dk website we have a launch tomorrow, free admission! I have 15 minutes to speak about DIGHUMLAB and tools and sevices to help digital humanists, especially those starting off with traditional historical and heritage/basd backgrounds, phew!
09.45 History and Cultural Heritage
Projektleder Erik Champion, DIGHUMLAB
The talk will provide a short overview of digital humanities research, particularly tools, methods, and data, currently or about to be used in the fields of history and cultural heritage.
I thought I might briefly mention
On Monday 10 September 2012 we had our official launch and I would like to thank all who attended and the invited speakers and it appeared yesterday and today on the Aarhus University website.
Would like to have more time for questions and answers session, but the delay was probably caused by the audience networking over good coffee, which is just further proof of the need for a more collaborative and communal organization to help promote and disseminare digital humanities!
There will be two new PhD positions advertised soon, and Aalborg may also be introducing new possibilities so keep eyes tuned to the dighumlab.dk website.
We are having a launch of DIGHUMLAB, on 10 September. Attendance is free but general public or student online registration is required as seats are limited.
Details: mandag 10 september 2012: 12.00 – 17.30
