Hi Augustine,

I just wanted to write up a few notes following our meeting yesterday (it w=
as really good to hear more about your project and your thoughts at this ti=
me):


  *   You need to complete a GRS2 form for each meeting that we have (inclu=
ding our meeting yesterday). Details can be found here =96 https://intranet=
.birmingham.ac.uk/as/studentservices/graduateschool/rsa/grs2info-pgrs.aspx
  *   You need to complete a Development Needs Analysis form =96 https://in=
tranet.birmingham.ac.uk/as/studentservices/graduateschool/skills/dna.aspx
  *   You also need to complete the online ethics self-assessment form =96 =
https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/finance/RSS/Research-Support-Group/integr=
ity-ethics-governance/Research-Ethics/ethical-review-forms.aspx

For the DNA form and the ethics self-assessment, they need to be completed =
before Christmas =96 have a look at them both and we can discuss them furth=
er in our next supervisory meeting.


  *   I=92d like you to write out, and send to me before our next meeting, =
some bullet points of what you=92re hoping to investigate (copying in Dorot=
hy and Richard in too). Try to pin it down to 5-10 things.
  *   Following our discussion, I think you=92re interested in the ways in =
which digital technologies impact upon humanities research, or, as we phras=
ed it yesterday, how the =93humanities=94 in =93digital humanities=94 might=
 be further emphasised.
  *   In beginning your research, I would recommend focusing on:
     *   Existing definitions of =93Digital Humanities=94 (e.g. https://mki=
rschenbaum.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/ade-final.pdf).
     *   Exploring recent work on the relevance of the Humanities in the 21=
st Century (e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Not-Profit-Democracy-Humanities-P=
ublic/dp/0691154481).
  *   You might want to look at some of the criticisms of Digital Humanitie=
s (DH) as being complicit with neoliberalism/a neoliberal agenda in the con=
temporary university.
  *   This is an article I wrote with a colleague that I think you might fi=
nd of interest =96 http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/12/1/000351/000=
351.html.
  *   The distinction between close/deep and surface/shallow reading might =
also be of interest =96 https://www.ade.mla.org/content/download/7915/22567=
8.

You also noted that funding is your main priority for this year, which I ab=
solutely understand. Here is the funding database =96  https://www.birmingh=
am.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding/index.aspx =96 if you identify the funding sc=
hemes that you=92re eligible for then we can discuss applications and a tim=
eline for drafting at our next supervision.

If you have any queries about the above then do let me know.

All best

rs.
