Subject: IHR Digital History seminar, Tuesday February 12: Panel: Ethics and Digital History, with Kelly Foster, Sharon Webb, Julianne Nyhan, Kathryn Eccles
The conveners of the IHR Digital History Seminar hope to see you at our
first seminar for 2019:
Panel: Ethics and Digital History, with Kelly Foster, Sharon Webb,
Julianne Nyhan, Kathryn Eccles
Methods and practices in digital history present ethical challenges: how we
do share without imposing? how we do connect without exposing? how do we
model without abstracting? how do we use material collected without the
possibility of gaining consent?
This panel brings together historians working in digital history to present
reflections on different aspects of ethical practice. The ensuing panel
discussion will ask what roles ethics plays in digital history work and
what role it should play in the future.
Dr Eccles outlines the challenges and opportunities of using social data to
understand histories, and engagement with History, using both text and
image. Just because we can access data, doesnât necessarily mean that we
should. How do we justify these choices? This talk will discuss ethics
in the context of data mining social media content, with particular
reference to working in partnership.
Dr Webb will reflect on her current work with Queer in Brighton, a
community organisation and project in Brighton, and on efforts to create a
digital archive with community involvement. It considers some of the
obstacles related to archiving content of this nature and highlights the
necessity for institutions, like universities, to engage in programmes to
support community archives whilst protecting their autonomy.
Dr Nyhan is drawing on her oral history research to reflect on the ethical
aspects of using oral history methodologies to research the 'hidden'
histories of Digital Humanities. Among other questions she will ask: who
'owns' oral history interviews and transcripts? What are the implications
of being an 'insider' of the (academic) community one is seeking to
research? What about the ethical issues that can occur 'downstream' of oral
history research, for example, the use of contingent labour to provide
research assistance and interview transcription?
Session chair: James Baker

Subject: Announcing Forum ReSoc (March 21st): Agent-based Models in Archaeology: Are there Limits?
We proudly announce the first Forum ReSoc "Agent-based Models in
Archaeology: Are there Limits? (http:www.resoc.deForum1.html)
featuring Edmund Chattoe-Brown (University of Leicester) and Marc
Vander Linden (University of Cambridge) as key-note speakers.
What is the role of agent-based modelling for archaeology? How does ABM
contribute to interdisciplinary work and vice versa, how do different
practices in the disciplines affect the way in which ABM is practised?
Following two key-notes by Edmund Chattoe-Brown and Marc Vander
Linden, a panel composed by Iza Romanowska (Barcelona Supercomputing
Center), Maria Ivanova-Bieg (Heidelberg University) and Michael Roos
(Ruhr-University Bochum) will discuss these issues together with the
speakers. We also invite the audience to comment and ask questions.
The Forum will be moderated by Maja Gori & Frederik Schaff
(Ruhr-University Bochum, ReSoc - Resources in Societies Leibniz
Postdoctoral School).
We invite students and researchers of all disciplines as well as the
general public to join the event in Bochum on March 21^st ! Please
note that if you will not make it in person, you can watch the live
stream of the event on YouTube.
