Subject: CFP: High Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship

[apologies for cross listing]

High Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship

DUE: February 1, 2013
http://blogs.ischool.utexas.edu/hipstas/cfp/
First meeting: Austin, TX May 29 – June 1, 2013

The HiPSTAS project invites applications for its 2013 NEH-funded Institute for Advanced Topics in Digital Humanities. At the first four-day meeting (“A-Side”), held at the iSchool at UT May 29 – June 1, 2013, participants will be introduced to essential issues that archivists, librarians, humanities scholars, and computer scientists and technologists face in understanding the nature of digital sound scholarship and the possibilities of building an infrastructure for enabling such scholarship. At this first meeting, participants will be introduced to advanced computational analytics such as clustering, classification, and visualizations. We encourage a diverse range of librarians, archivists, scholars (including graduate students), and cultural heritage professionals from all types of institutions, disciplinary backgrounds, and expertise, who are interested in working with sound collections and technologies to apply. Members of the American Indian community, in particular, are strongly urged to apply.

HiPSTAS participants will include 20 humanities junior and senior faculty and advanced graduate students as well as librarians and archivists from across the U.S. interested in developing and using new technologies to access and analyze spoken word recordings within audio collections. The collections we will make available for participants include poetry from PennSound at the University of Pennsylvania, folklore from the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at UT Austin, speeches from the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Presidential Museum in Austin, and storytelling from the Native American Projects (NAP) at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia. Sound archivists from UT at Austin, computer scientists and technology developers from I3 at Illinois, and representatives from each of the participating collections will come together for the HiPSTAS Institute to discuss the collections, the work that researchers already do with audio cultural artifacts, and the work HiPSTAS participants can do with advanced computational analysis of sounds.
