Whose History Matters? Thinking about Collaboration and Open Access

Dr. Jennifer Guiliano’s research agenda includes completed peer-reviewed research grants, national and international presentations, digital products, and publications in three areas: (1) interdisciplinary research at the intersection of digital technologies and the humanities; (2) critical sport history; and (3) Native American and Indigenous History. A key aspect of her scholarly research, especially in Digital Humanities, is the establishment of long-term collaborative research partnerships that bring together faculty, staff, students, and technologists to explore the intersections of technology and scholarly practice. Dr. Guiliano’s teaching assignments also reflect her research interests by encouraging incorporation of digital history and digital methods. Through her research, Dr. Guiliano seeks to create an equitable and welcoming environment that fosters research excellence, transparency, and teaching and learning.

Dr. Guiliano’s work to encourage innovation, diversity, and inclusion on the IUPUI campus and beyond is another excellent example of how IUPUI’s faculty members are TRANSLATING their RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE.

    The Sapheos Project: Transparency in Multi-image Collation, Analysis, and Representation
    (University of South Carolina Research Foundation, 2011) Waggoner, Jarrell; Salvi, Dhaval; Zhou, Jun; Wang, Song; Guiliano, Jennifer
    Our proposal for a Level II Start-Up grant for the Sapheos project seeks to develop innovative software to analyze, represent, and collate images in the humanities. While there are an array of text based digital projects underway that offer increasingly powerful tools for marking up, analyzing, and visualizing textual data in the humanities, image-based analysis has not received similar attention. From the project's inception, our aim has been to develop extensible open-source software that researchers across the humanities can use to link image to text in a discrete, granular fashion. Working with the NEH-funded Spenser Project, a multi-institutional Scholarly Editions project, we're developing two significant image-based software tools: (a) digital collation software that builds on and extends the work of optical methods, using transparency to "stack" and collate multiple copies, and (b) software for automatically sectioning and identifying (x,y) coordinate pairs for images.

    Towards a Praxis of Critical Digital Sport History
    (2017) Guiliano, Jennifer; History, School of Liberal Arts
    Exploring praxis as a key construct, this article disputes the understandings of digital history as a relatively recent phenomena by providing an alternative narrative of digital history’s development. Understanding that “digital” history is a constellation of practices drawn from humanities and computing disciplines, this paper argues that digital sport history must demonstrate critical, intentional engagement with interdisciplinary research to achieve its fullest future. Using Michael Oriard’s Reading Football: How the Popular Press Created an American Spectacle as a basis for a speculative design exercise, the paper suggests three alternative research methods that scholars could now use to explore Oriard’s sources. The exercise illustrates how digital sport historians must recognize the digital and its multiplicity of forms as historical objects that are produced, interpreted, and contested. As important, the article closes by presenting core values for our consideration as we move toward recognized methodologies for digital sport history.

    Difficult Heritage and the Complexities of Indigenous Data
    (McGill University, 2019-08-13) Guiliano, Jennifer; Heitman, Carolyn; History, School of Liberal Arts
    For readers of this special issue, data are likely defined in technical terms as established by information and computer scientists. Data, for the informaticist, are facts, measurements or statistics. For the historian, data are historical remnants—often preserved by an archive. For the anthropologist, data can be quantitative or qualitative depending on the question and methods. Disciplinary methods aside, data are not value-neutral and thus must be contextualized in terms of their acquisition, analysis, and interpretation in order to transform data into information. For humanists, the cultural complexities of data and information are not new. Anthropologists, historians, linguists, museum curators, and archivists have long probed the contextual subjectivities of knowledge production and representation. From ink and quill maps representing the New World to the carefully stratified layers of an archeological site, data in the humanities are always subject to the systems of knowledge that were used to capture, represent, and disseminate them.

    American Indian Sport History
    (Routledge, 2021) Guiliano, Jennifer
    Swimming, cycling, and golf were modern as were the newer sports of baseball, basketball, and American football that would rise to public attention in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Lesser known sports as well as those with fewer professional opportunities have been overshadowed by considerations of how Natives fit into ‘the big three’. Games could demonstrate friendship between communities visiting for council or they could be used to settle disputes. Football, arguably the most well-known sport that Natives participated in, began at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in 1893. Hopi runner Louis Tewanima would participate in both the 1908 and 1912 Olympics, garnering silver in the 1912 10,000-metre event. Women at the Fort Shaw Indian School competed in, and won, the women’s basketball tournament at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. The opportunities of Native sport were further mitigated by the rampant discrimination athletes faced.

    Digital Sport History: History and Practice
    (Routledge, 2021) Guiliano, Jennifer
    From the digitization of analogue physical materials, to the recovery of materials stored on early media formats like floppy disks, to the harvesting of web and social media platforms that document the hundreds of thousands of sports forums and events, sport historians of the future will certainly have to confront digital artifacts and platforms when they write sport history. The entry point for most sport historians to digital sport history is through the consumption of digital resources in the form of digital archives and digital libraries. Digitization has enabled the identification of sport history sources in far-flung locales through digital catalogues, finding aids, and digital repositories. Digital project demonstrations at annual meetings, born-digital publications enabled by editors of press series and flagship journals, and the inclusion of peer-review of digital projects without hesitancy would go a long way to moving digital sports history from the periphery to the mainstream of our scholarly practice.

    Editors' Note: August 2021
    (IUPUI School of Liberal Arts, 2021-08-16) Risam, Roopika; Guiliano, Jennifer; History, School of Liberal Arts
    Welcome to the August 2021 issue of Reviews in Digital Humanities! This month, we are delighted to share the first installment of our special issue on sound, edited by Mary Caton Lingold. “Sound” is the first special issue of the journal to focus on a method and explores a broad range of interventions at the intersections of sound studies and digital humanities. Over the next three months, the special issue will explore experimental scholarship that blends sensory modalities, sonic histories, and the use of computational tools with large audio collections. Featuring sound demonstrates the journal’s commitment to creating spaces to showcase thriving areas of scholarship that do not always register within digital humanities broadly.

    Neither Computer Science, nor Information Studies, nor Humanities Enough: What Is the Status of a Digital Humanities Conference Paper?
    (Open Library of Humanities, 2022) Estill, Laura; Guiliano, Jennifer; History, School of Liberal Arts
    This paper explores the disciplinary and regional conventions that surround the status of conference papers throughout their lifecycle from submission/abstract, review, presentation, and in some cases, publication. Focusing on national and international Digital Humanities conferences, while also acknowledging disciplinary conferences that inform Digital Humanities, this paper blends close readings of conference calls for papers with analysis of conference practices to reckon with what constitutes a conference submission and its status in relationship to disciplinary conventions, peer review, and publication outcomes. Ultimately, we argue that the best practice for Digital Humanities conferences is to be clear on the review and publication process so that participants can gauge how to accurately reflect their contributions.
