To get a few more proposals in the hopper, I am willing to lead a Talk Session on DH Applications for Indigenous Cultural Knowledge &via Place Based Education. I am labeling this as a Talk Session in the best form of collaboration–not presentation. For participants interested in place-based teaching and undergraduate (grad?) research–invariably connected in one form or another with the indigeneity of place/history/culture–this would be a sharing of ideas and ways that our classes can incorporate Digital Humanities Applications of Indigenous Cultural Knowledge via Place Based Education.

The Interdisciplinary Research and Informatics Scholarship (IRIS) Center (siueiris.com/) is a facility designed to support individual and collaborative scholarship at faculty and student levels that applies digital content as a primary methodology. IRIS facilitates cross-disciplinary and collaborative projects that involve applications, enhancements, or re-conceptualizations of technology in the humanities and social sciences.

The IRIS Center is home to a number of exciting faculty-student research projects, and IRIS-affiliated faculty have even launched a brand new interdisciplinary minor in digital humanities and social sciences.

The co-directors of the IRIS Center (Jessica DeSpain and Kristine Hildebrandt) would like to offer a tour of the Center, including some illustrations of current and past projects, conversations with IRIS faculty and student researchers, and a discussion of the minor.

We are planning two tours: one on Saturday June 11 @ 1.45pm and one on Sunday June 12 @ 10.10am. We will meet in the MUC Hickory-Hackberry Room and walk together to Peck Hall, where the IRIS Center is housed.

To what extent do we have responsibilities for educating our students about privacy? For avoiding assignments that expose them to privacy compromises? For converting them to privacy advocates?

etc.
