<h2 style="text-align: left;">2011 Chicago Colloquium on Digital
Humanities and Computer Science</h2>
<p>November 19-21, 2011<br>
Loyola University Chicago – Chicago, Illinois, USA<br>
Submission Deadline: September 15, 2011<br>
<a href="http://chicagocolloquium.org">http://chicagocolloquium.org</a></p>
<p>The Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer
Science (DHCS) brings together researchers and scholars in the
humanities and computer science to examine the current state of
digital humanities as a field of intellectual inquiry and to
identify and explore new directions and perspectives for future
research.</p>
<p>Here is a brief look at the three most <a
href="http://chicagocolloquium.org/past-colloquia">recent
conferences</a> in the DHCS series, which celebrates its sixth
year running in 2011.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://chicagocolloquium.org/past-colloquia/">DHCS
2008</a> (University of Chicago) focused on “Making Sense” –
an exploration of how meaning is created and apprehended at
the transition from the digital to the analog.</li>
<li><a href="http://chicagocolloquium.org/past-colloquia/">DHCS
2009</a> (IIT) focused on computational methods in digital
humanities, including computational stylistics, text
analytics, and visualization.</li>
<li><a href="http://chicagocolloquium.org/past-colloquia/">DHCS
2010</a> (Northwestern) focused on “Working with Digital
Data: Collaborate, Curate, Analyze, Annotate.”</li>
</ul>
<p>With broad agency support for and continued cross-disciplinary
interest in “digging into data” as well as cyberinfrastructure
and collaboration, this year’s DHCS will continue to focus on
these and related topics of interest to the community, with a
formal colloquium theme to be unveiled as the program is
finalized.</p>
<p>We invite submissions from scholars, researchers, practitioners
(independent scholars and industry), librarians, technologists,
and students, on all topics that intersect current theory and
practice in the humanities and computer science.</p>
<p>This year’s DHCS is sponsored by Loyola University Chicago, The
University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the Illinois
Institute of Technology.</p>
<h2>Location and Venue Description</h2>
<p>Loyola University Chicago<br>
Water Tower Campus<br>
