SYMPOSIUM ANNOUNCEMENT
With apologies for cross posting.
InterFace 2011 -- 27-29 July 2011, University College London
InterFace is a symposium for humanities and technology. In 2011 it is
being jointly hosted by colleges across London and will be an
invaluable opportunity for participants to visit this active hub of
digital scholarship and practice.
The symposium aims to foster collaboration and shared understanding
between scholars in the humanities and in computer science, especially
where their efforts converge on exchange of subject matter and
method. With a focus on the interests and concerns of Ph.D students
and early career researchers, the programme will include networking
activities, opportunities for research exposition, and various
training and workshop activities.
The details of the workshops and training sessions are still in
preparation but they are expected to include hands-on work with:
* bibliographic software;
* sound analysis for speech and music;
* data visualisation;
* user studies and social research;
* discourse analysis in the sciences, technology and the humanities;
* applying for research funding;
* getting work published;
* computer modelling.
A core component of the programme will be a lightening talks session
in which each participant will make a two-minute presentation on their
research. The session will be lively and dynamic. Each presentation
must be exactly two minutes long, making use of necessary,
interesting, appropriate, or entertaining visual or sound aids, and
condensing a whole Ph.D's worth of ideas and work into this short
slot.
Finally, the symposium will conclude with an unconference; a
participatory, collaborative, and informal event in which the form and
content is decided on by participants as it unfolds and in which
discussion and production is emphasised over presentation and
analysis. Participants may wish to share their own skills, learn a new
skill, establish and develop a collaborative project, or hold a
focused discussion.
In January we will be seeking applications for participation in this
symposium. An announcement and call for papers will be issued in the
New Year.
