Teaching Women Writers: Exploring NEWW VRE Possibilities

Teaching Women Writers: Exploring NEWW VRE Possibilities

By Eliza Papaki | News | September 27, 2017

DARIAH Working Group “Women Writers in History” presents their Virtual Research Environment.

Ljubljana, 16th November 2017
Conference venue: Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Novitrg 4, Ljubljana

One of the focal points of the DARIAH Working Group Women Writers in History is the connection to be created between scholarly research about early women’s authorship and teaching (both academic and secondary). Teaching covers a wide range of activities, from using outcomes of the research to contributing to it.

We think indeed that students could be given a more important role than the rather passive one they are allowed to have now. Besides, given the important number (over 6000) of women authors discovered up to now and accumulated in our NEWW Virtual Research Environment, we have to enlarge the group of active collaborators. And most importantly, it now seems possible to have the collaboration of students – in the classroom or as trainees – and seniors as “citizen scientists”. They can, much more than before, participate in scholarly enterprises like ours, considering that so much textual material (including those by and about women authors; including also the periodical press) is now available online.

For the moment this availability is still in part theoretical, as often texts are just put there as a complete mess, each of the texts lacking their historical context. By integrating them in our NEWW VRE we can provide them with a rigorous structure, and give the texts their “logical” place within the literary communication as going on at an international scale.

During the last four years, thanks to our European HERA Traveling TexTs project, this NEWW VRE was developed and reworked, as the successor of the WomenWriters Database (first version of which was opened in 2002). There are much more possibilities now – in particular for creating this connection between research and teaching. On a practical level this will also require some supplementary features. Both the possibilities and the technical requirements will be discussed during this conference.

Colleagues (researchers as well as teachers) from Slovenia and abroad (working on women’s authorship between the Middle Ages and the early 20th century), present as well as future members of DARIAH WWIH are invited to take part in these discussions.

Programme committee:

  • Prof. Katja Mihurko Poniž, University of Nova Gorica
  • Assist. Prof. Aleš Vaupotic, University of Nova Gorica
  • Prof. Amelia Sanz, Complutense University of Madrid
  • Dr. Suzan van Dijk, Huygens Institute fort he History of the Netherlands, Amsterdam
