HASTAC 2013 the Decennial the Storm of Progress: New Horizons, New Narratives, New Codes HASTAC 2013 THE DECENNIAL THE StORM OF PROGRESS: NEW HORIZONS, NEW NARRATIVES, NEW CODES TABLE OF CONTENTS WELCOME 2 ABOUT HASTAC 2013 4 SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE 12 GENERAL INFORMATION AND SERVICES 18 GETTING TO THE CONFERENCE 20 EVENTS, KEYNOTES AND PERFORMANCES 22 SCHEDULE 34 WELCOME FROM THE ORGANIZERS GOLD SPONSORS We are thrilled to welcome all of you, old friends and new alike, to HASTAC 2013 – The Storm of Progress. This conference marks two important milestones in YORK UNIVERSITY (IRLT) HASTAC’s own progress – our tenth birthday, and our first conference outside INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH ON LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES of the United States. Ten years ago, Cathy Davidson (Duke) and David Theo Goldberg (UC, Irvine) founded HASTAC, the Humanities, Arts, Science, and YORK UNIVERSITY FINE ARTS Technology Advanced Collaboratory “a network of individuals and institutions inspired by the possibilities that new technologies offer us for shaping how we YORK UNIVERSITY learn, teach, communicate, create, and organize our local and global communities.” LIBERAL ARTS AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES Since its founding, we’ve watched HASTAC grow to a network of over 9000 members, including hundreds of HASTAC scholars from over 120 institutions around the world. Back in 2009, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the two of us lamented the fact that HASTAC had, to that point, only held conferences in the U.S. Cathy Davidson’s response was instant, and perfectly HASTAC: “So, are you volunteering to host?” In that moment we realized that this is how the work of HASTAC is done: those who see a need fill it; those who want to do something set about doing it. There is no time for lamenting. HASTAC works because we work. So, we said yes. We pitched a proposal. And we got started. We received over 300 submissions in a variety of formats from around the world. The result is the most ambitious HASTAC conference yet in terms of size and scope. HASTAC 2013 brings together amazing keynote speakers, 150 refereed SILVER SPONSORS papers, panels and demos and posters, receptions, a maker space, curated digital performances, art, twitter visualizations, a born-digital book launch, architectural projection, workshops and the launch of Sensorium, a new digital arts and technology research centre at York University. We welcome almost 300 attendees, including both established and emerging scholars across the arts, sciences and humanities, librarians, private sector technology entrepreneurs, digital media artists, poets, writers and performers, edutech companies and digital publishers, public sector representatives, inventors and the cool and the curious. Half of you have never been to a HASTAC conference before and we are excited to connect you to a vision and community that we love. Over the four days of the conference we will, together, explore work that extends conversations about digital practices and learning across boundaries. And we are glad you are here to join us as we are irresistibly propelled toward the future, as we ask ourselves and each other: “What’s next?” Caitlin Fisher York University Maureen Engel University of Alberta 2 // HASTAC : NEW HORIZONS, NEW NARRATIVES, NEW CODES WELCOME // 3 HASTAC 2013 CONFERENCE TEAM FILMING Radojka Vrabac (keynotes), Liz Dougherty, Morgan Fics CO-CHAIRS Caitlin Fisher Canada Research Chair in Digital Culture and Director, SOCIAL MEDIA Augmented Reality Lab, Faculty of Fine Arts, Doctoral student in Communication and Culture, York University Rekha Ramachandran Graduate Programme In Communication and Culture Maureen Engel Graduate Coordinator, Humanities Computing Acting Director, Canadian Institute for Research Computing in Arts (CIRCA), University of Alberta DESIGN TEAM Fiona Barnett HASTAC 2013 maple leaf logo design HASTAC & LOGISTICS CO-ORDINATOR Duke University, Director, HASTAC Scholars Tim Bettridge Program design Sanja Obradovic PhD Candidate (ABD), HASTAC Scholar, Graduate & Maggie Chan Programme in Communication and Culture, York University Leslie Supnet Poster Design DEMO AND POSTER CO-ORDINATOR StudENT VOLUNTEERS Andrew Roth HASTAC Scholar, Interdisciplinary Studies, Future Alexander Ornat Kwame Newman Lychee Fan Cinema Lab, York University Andrea Fisher Bremang Denise Enriquez Andrew Turner Laura Zeno Elnaz Delpisheh ORGANIZING COMMIttEE: At YORK UNIVERSIty Angela O’Hara Maria Bojagora Graham MacLean Assaf Gadot Mary Pat O’Meara Jennifer Wu Timothy Bristow Digital Humanities Librarian Betty Zhang Melanie McIntosh Joie Chen Mark-David Hosale Assistant Professor, Digital Media Catalina Constantin Michelle Lawrence Samantha Puder Paul Lovejoy Canada Research Chair in African Diaspora History, Cheryl Williams Nevena Novakovic Tim Mills Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies Danning Lu Nur Shazlin Abdul Tristan Prescott Canada Research Chair in Art, Digital Media and Janine Marchessault Jana Jankovic Rahman Yoon Jin Jung Globalization, Director Sensorium Jason Wang Peter Prazic Youhan Guan MaryLeigh Morbey Associate Professor of Culture and Technology, Faculty Dusan Putnikovic of Education and Institute for Research on Learning Technologies SPECIAL THANKS Ron Owston Dean, Faculty of Education and Institute for Research on Learning Technology Paul Holland, Victor Wolters, Scott Rennick and the staff at Fine Arts Gail Vanstone Associate Professor, Humanities, Faculty of Liberal Arts Performance Facilities, York University and Professional Studies Alexander Moakler Undergraduate Student, Digital Media Angela Zeno Manager of Research Accounting and her staff at York University ORGANIZING COMMIttEE: At WAYNE StATE UNIVERSIty Barbara Sellers-Young Dean, Faculty of Fine Arts, York University Julie Thompson Klein Professor of Humanities, English/Interdisciplinary Elisa Romano Communications & Public Affairs, York University Studies and Faculty Fellow in the Office for Teaching and Learning Ursula Wolfe and Administrative assistants to the Roseelaine Shemtov Canada Research Chair 4 // HASTAC : NEW HORIZONS, NEW NARRATIVES, NEW CODES ABOUT HASTAC 2013 // 5 ABOUT HASTAC 2013 THE DECENNIAL OUR EVENT HAS GONE MOBILE THE StORM OF PROGRESS: NEW HORIZONS, NEW NARRATIVES, NEW CODES Download our mobile guide to enhance your experience at Hastac 2013.

  • 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    EXPLORING THE HUMAN ENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 2ANNUAL01 REP3ORT CHAIRMAN’S LETTER December 2014 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For forty-eight years NEH has striven through its rigorous grantmaking process to support excellence in humanities research, education, preservation, access to humanities collections, long-term planning for educational and cultural institutions, and humanities programming for the public. NEH’s 1965 founding legislation states that “democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens.” It is in response to this mission that NEH supports work in the humanities that enlightens and deepens our understanding of the world. In September 2013, NEH launched its Created Equal initiative centered on a collection of four NEH-funded films—The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name, The Loving Story, and Freedom Riders— that trace the long history of civil rights in our nation. From the beginning, African Americans have been at the core of America’s evolving story about the changing meaning of freedom. Through free access to the films, website resources, and public discussion programs held in more than four hundred communities across the nation over the next three years, Created Equal will help make this aspect of our history accessible to everyone. At NEH, we also believe that access to the classics should be for everyone, in particular to America’s military veterans who are returning home from conflicts abroad. A 2013 grant to Aquila Theatre is helping to bring a series of scholar-led discussions and performances of classical Greek and Roman dramas to military veterans across the country.
