Kennen Sie schon … das Islamicate Digital Humanities Network?

The Islam­i­cate Dig­i­tal Human­i­ties Net­work (IDHN) is a net­work of schol­ars with a research focus on Islam­i­cate Dig­i­tal Stud­ies. This includes schol­ars from the Human­i­ties, Com­put­er Sci­ences, Com­pu­ta­tion­al Lin­guis­tics as well as librar­i­ans and archivists that work on top­ics that relate to Mid­dle East­ern pol­i­tics and cul­ture, Islam as a reli­gion, Ara­bic, Per­sian, and oth­er Islam­i­cate lan­guages, et al. and that are already using or are inter­est­ed in using dig­i­tal meth­ods for their research.

IDHN aims at…

• net­work­ing: … by bring­ing togeth­er schol­ars who are inter­est­ed in explor­ing and cre­at­ing more dig­i­tal tools and com­pu­ta­tion­al analy­sis tech­niques to enhance our knowl­edge of Islam­i­cate his­to­ry, cul­ture, lit­er­a­ture, and law.
• inform­ing: … by allow­ing mem­bers of the net­work to share their exper­tise in order to help address the chal­lenges of inter­dis­ci­pli­nary schol­ar­ship and by keep­ing an updat­ed list of tools, data­bas­es and oth­er resources.
• dis­cussing: …by facil­i­tat­ing the com­mu­ni­ca­tion of ideas, projects, new tools or lat­est devel­op­ments among schol­ars while crit­i­cal­ly reflect­ing our method­ol­o­gy and results.
• organ­is­ing: …by offer­ing a pool of inter­est­ed schol­ars with diverse exper­tise who can help in organ­is­ing a work­shop, sem­i­nar, con­fer­ence, webi­nar and add their ideas, par­tic­i­pa­tion, or fur­ther con­nec­tions.

The Net­work holds online con­fer­ences twice a year, which any­one inter­est­ed can attend.

Respect for each oth­er, for oth­ers’ opin­ions and for a diver­si­ty of views is a pil­lar for all the mem­bers of this net­work. It has to tran­spire in how infor­ma­tion is com­mu­ni­cat­ed and dis­cussed. Every mem­ber of the net­work must com­mit to hon­or aca­d­e­m­ic stan­dards and give cred­it when using anoth­er member’s con­tri­bu­tion to a research paper, pub­li­ca­tion, grant appli­ca­tion et al.
