NINES-Sponsored Workshops

NINES sponsors summer workshops to promote the development of computerized scholarly projects in 19th-century British and American literature and cultural studies. NINES workshops will bring a dozen or more scholars together to work on their individual projects in an environment where they can interact with other scholars who are also doing digital projects in closely related historical and cultural areas. NINES will make available to these scholars the tools and development expertise that have become a major part of the culture of digital humanities during the past 10+ years, and may offer financial aid to applicants.

NINES is no longer accepting applications for the Summer Workshop, 2009.

NINES is delighted to be collaborating with the DHO, the national Digital Humanities Center of Ireland, in our first Summer Workshop held outside the U.S., meant to bring together European and North American scholars.

This week-long workshop for scholars undertaking digital projects in nineteenth-century Irish, British, and American literary and cultural studies will be held at the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin, 13-17 July 2009. The workshop will provide a practical setting where scholars can develop their own shared interests and goals while solving problems in a collaborative environment. The workshop will focus on theoretical, technical, administrative, and institutional issues relevant to the needs of specific projects.

The NINES Workshop will offer four strands:

Training in TEI text encoding (with James Cummings and Dot Porter)
Database design and development (with Don Gourley and Aja Teehan)
Data design and visualization (with Paolo Battino, Shawn Day, and Faith Lawrence)
XML transformations (with Laura Mandell and Kirstyn Leuner).

In addition, the Workshop will feature lectures and master classes by leading experts and theorists in the digital humanities.
