Digital Parliamentary Data in Action (DiPaDA 2022)

  • Recent years have seen the emergence of new digital parliamentary datasets that highlight multi-disciplinary opportunities and challenges in research. The datasets have enabled researchers to engage in novel ways in studying parliamentary culture, media, politics, and societal and cultural themes, and led to the development of new tools, curated data, and user interfaces for researchers, citizens, and media. The workshop draws together scholars across different disciplines to explore results and ongoing work on creating and using digital parliamentary data in Digital Humanities research and applications.
  • Paper submissions by 13 January, 2022
  • Organiser/contact: Matti La Mela, Uppsala University/University of Helsinki (matti.lamela@abm.uu.se)

Higher Education Programs in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences: Challenges and Perspectives

  • The workshop will allow major established programs and initiatives to report results, newcomers to interact with experienced people in the field in order to allow the entire community to critically discuss topical issues relating to DH education. The DHNB venue encourages participation by teachers, researchers and developers from different perspectives (reflecting the different conference threads). As the fourth workshop on education at DHNB, it is envisioned as part of a workshop series taking place at annual DHNB conferences in order to establish and provide a regular forum for discussions on education in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences in Nordic and Baltic countries and beyond.
  • Paper submissions by 16 January, 2022
  • Organiser/contact: Koraljka Golub, Linnaeus University (koraljka.golub@lnu.se)

Afterwards, a number of topics, such as document similarity, and clustering of handwritten characters, will be demonstrated and discussed using separate notebooks. No prior knowledge is required.
