Dear all,
On May 15th the Women Writers Project will be hosting a symposium on Antiracist Markup Practices. This event will be a fully virtual half-day symposium taking place between 12:00pm–4:00pm (Eastern). The symposium will investigate the implications
of social justice frameworks for text encoding theory and practice. The focus of this event will be on text encoding with TEI and XML, but we want to ensure the discussions are generative for anyone with an interest in antiracist digital cultural heritage
work. To that end, we are holding an optional orientation session at 12–12:45pm. Following a break, we will have presentations and discussion from 1–4pm.
We are honored to announce that
Clayton McCarl, Mary Chapman, Sydney Lines, Joey Takeda,
Brook Danielle Lillehaugen, Xóchitl M. Flores-Marical, and Caitlin Pollock will be speaking about their
diverse collection of projects.
While the event is open to all, we ask that you
RSVP here by 5pm on May 14th. To make space for informal discussions, this event will not be recorded.
If you have any questions, please email [log in to unmask] For the full schedule and more details, see
the event page. We are grateful to the
Northeastern University Humanities Center for supporting this event.
Please also share this information with anyone who may be interested.
All our best,
The Women Writers Project team
