  How to build capacity and community for Digital Humanities teaching and research

  In this two-day workshop, we will share what we have done at UCLA to build real capacity and community for digital humanities teaching and research. Drawing from our experience creating the Scholarly Innovation Lab (SIL), on Day 1 we will share our story and offer guidance and best practices for building a DH lab with modest investment. On Day 2 we will introduce and discuss two of our more successful areas of practice – 3-D modelling for cultural heritage, and Zoom pedagogy for course sharing. The format will be conversational. Our goal is to help cultivate practical approaches for next steps at the University of Helsinki.

  Managing the State, transforming the City. Office buildings for central State administrations as a "forgotten" type of political architecture (1880–1980)

  XIII International Conference of European Association for Urban History – Session 29

  From the late XIX^th century onwards, both the competence and scale of Ministerial departments and State-run corporations have increased continuously in Western countries. This growth – which accelerated after each World War, and became a truly global phenomenon in the second half of the XX^th century – necessitated the construction of large and well-equipped office buildings, which were often grouped together in the "administrative districts" of capitals and other major cities.

  Vivre, travailler et étudier dans une langue véhiculaire

  Langue, discours, hybridité et identités

  Cette conférence bilingue internationale (français et anglais) se veut être un forum de discussion sur les langues véhiculaires (LV). Trois objectifs principaux ont été définis : 1. Faire le lien entre les approches théoriques et de recherche sur l’utilisation des LVs dans des contextes peu étudiés tels que le quotidien (couples binationaux, amis communicant dans une ou des LV/s) ; les études (à l’étranger ou chez soi) et le monde du travail (idem). 2. Explorer les impacts de l’utilisation des LVs sur les représentations et créations identitaires (soi et autre) d’utilisateurs de LVs, et de ceux qui sont témoins de cette utilisation, dans différentes zones géographiques, professionnelles et sociales. 3. Stimuler la recherche sur les LVs en s’inspirant, entre autres, des recherches et réflexions théoriques sur l’anglais lingua franca.
