Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities

This one day event on June 7th 2015, “Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities,” will provoke conversation and stimulate activity around issues of social knowledge creation. We welcome researchers, students, and practitioners who wish to engage intellectually with this topic, as well as to do some hands-on experimentation with related practices and initiatives. This event is hosted by the Implementing New Knowledge Enviroments project (INKE; inke.ca) and Iter (itergateway.org), and will be held in conjunction with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) 2015.

Featured events include:
• Opening keynote by Dr. John Maxwell (Director, Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing, SFU): "‘The Simplest Thing that Could Possibly Work’: Wikis and Convivial Knowledge Creation.”
• Lightning talks, where authors present 4 minute versions of longer papers 
that have been circulated prior to the gathering, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be 
conceptual, theoretical, application-oriented, and more)
• Aligned workshops, where session leaders present tools and platforms for social knowledge creation and attendees have the opportunity to play and experiment in this environment

Registration is free and open to all Digital Humanities Summer Institute 2015 participants, however there is a participant cap. Please RSVP to reserve a spot.

Please direct any questions to Alyssa Arbuckle at alyssaarbuckle@gmail.com. To register for DHSI 2015 please do so via http://dhsi.org/registration.html.
