About the Twin Talks workshops
==============================
This workshop is the third in a series where the main objective
is to get a better understanding of the dynamics on the Digital
Humanities work floor where humanities scholars and digital
experts meet and work in tandem to solve humanities research
questions. The best way to do this seems to be to give both
parties the opportunity to present their achievements and to
share their collaboration experiences with the audience. The
insights gained should help those involved in the education of
humanities scholars, professionals and technical experts alike to
develop better training programmes.

As the problem of cross-discipline collaboration is not new we
also invite those who have relevant experience or interesting
ideas about how to address this in university or other curricula
to share their ideas with the audience.

In earlier workshops talks were submitted and presented by a
humanities researcher and a digital expert (the Twin Talks). They
were asked to report on on-going or recently completed research
carried out together, both from their individual perspective
(either humanities research or technical), as well as on their
collaboration experience. Recently we added the talks by people
with experience or interesting ideas about how cross-discipline
collaboration is or can be addressed in curricula or other
training activities (the Teach Talks).

The workshops were typically scheduled as full-day workshops,
starting with an invited talk, followed by a number of 20-30
minutes presentations, and concluded with a round table
discussion with all participants.

About the Twin Talks workshop at DH2020
=======================================
Due to the coronavirus the DH2020 conference will go virtual, and
so will the Twin Talks 3 workshop. This has consequences for the
format.

The duration of the virtual workshop will be 2 hours, and it will
have an interactive, panel-like format, with short pitches
(duration dependent on number of accepted talks). The Twin Talk
pitches should briefly describe (i) the research problem
addressed, (ii) its solution, including the technical aspects,
(iii) a report on the collaboration experience itself, including
obstacles encountered and (iv) recommendations how better
training and education could help to make collaboration more
efficient and effective.

The Teach Talks should briefly describe (i) the collaboration
settings on which they are based, (ii) the approach adopted, and
(iii) recommendations.

After the talks there will be a discussion with all participants
to formulate the lessons learned from the presentations, and to
identify further steps that could be taken.

Research and teaching topics
============================
All humanities research topics in a very broad sense are welcome,
where we explicitly include social sciences and cultural heritage
studies. Research or teaching activities may be completed or
ongoing, as long as the presentation explicitly addresses the way
the humanities researcher and the digital expert have
collaborated or still collaborate.

Why should you submit and/or attend?
====================================
Humanities research can only benefit maximally from new
developments in technology if content and digital experts team
up, very similar to the hard sciences where research is done in
teams working on a specific problem, where everybody brings in
his/her specific content and technical expertise and skills.

Co-design, co-development and co-creation are the rule rather
than the exception, but very little is known about how this
collaboration works in practice and how better training and
education of both humanities scholars and digital experts could
facilitate the way they collaborate.

This is what this workshop wants to address, based on real life
collaboration examples. We especially invite researchers,
professionals, educators, and RI operators with a special
interest in creating the conditions where humanities scholars and
technical experts can fruitfully collaborate in answering
humanities research questions.
