The Scholars' Lab at the University of Virginia Library is now
accepting applications for an NEH-funded "Institute for Enabling
Geospatial Scholarship," to be held in Charlottesville, Virginia in
November 2009 and May 2010.
http://lib.virginia.edu/scholarslab/geospatial/
This program will bring together humanities scholars, software
developers, and librarians and other cultural heritage
professionals to discuss and develop geospatial tools, content,
methods, policies, and infrastructure, in the context of open
source and open access. Thirty-one leading academics, developers,
and higher-ed administrators serve on the faculty and advisory
board of the Institute.
The National Endowment for the Humanities will support travel,
working meals, and lodging for 40 attendees as well as Institute
faculty members. Special funding is available for graduate
students. The University of Virginia Library will also fund up to 5
short-term scholar- and developer-in-residencies at the Scholars'
Lab to complement the Institute's focus on humanities GIS.
Three four-day Institute tracks are planned:
15-18 November 2009:
Track 1: Stewardship (for library, museum, GIS and digital
humanities center professionals)
Track 2: Software (for Web developers, designers, systems
administrators, and information scientists)
25-28 May 2010:
Track 3: Scholarship (for humanities scholars, advanced graduate
students, and post-docs)
Application DEADLINES are September 1st (for Tracks 1 and 2) and
December 1st (for Track 3). Special consideration will be given to
those who apply as part of an institutional team, as the curriculum
is designed to foster robust technical and social infrastructure,
at a local level, for geospatial scholarship in the digital
humanities.
Apply to attend at the URL above, and please help distribute this
message widely!
