Publié le jeudi 22 juin 2017 par Jakob Epler
Résumé

Background and Motivation
The class is organised by DARIAH within the framework of it’s Humanities at Scale Project (HaS). As a concept and method, it has a wider reach than crowdsourcing, and signals a more collaborative relationship between researchers, the research process, and the community it serves. While this mode of engagement can be empowering and impactful, it also raises a number of concerns:
- Identifying the stakeholders;
- Ethics and exploitation;
- Legal environments;
- Resources and project sustainability;
- Measuring the impact;
- From participation to scholarly output
This masterclass will offer a platform for discussion of these ideas bringing together those interested in these topics, as both practitioners and theorists. A goal of this Masterclass will be to arrive at a classification of various forms of participation and knowledge production, providing a window onto the issues of creating and managing a participatory engagement digital humanities projects.
