Preconference workshop on higher education programmes in digital humanities at the Second Digital Humanities in the Nordic Countries conference in April 14, 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The enormous increase in digital spatial information has led archaeologists all over Europe to rely ever more on digital data to prepare and carry out archaeological research, both in academic and heritage management contexts. Spatial information, collected by archaeologists since the implementation of the Valletta Convention, is increasingly used to guide heritage management policies, from urban design to rural planning and tourism, for example through geo-design.
Session #237: Archaeological practices and knowledge work in the digital environment at EAA 2017 23rd Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (August 30th – September 2nd, 2017), Maastricht, the Netherlands
The last ten years saw significant growth in the use of digital methods and tools in archaeological work. However, a systematic, comprehensive account of how digital information, tools and infrastructures are actually used by archaeologists and other users and producers of archaeological information is missing.
Presentation at Informaatiotutkimuksen päivät 2016, the Finnish national symposium on Information Studies in Tampere, Finland, together with Heidi Enwald, Helena Känsäkoski, Kristina Eriksson-Backa & Noora Hirvonen.
Poster "Taking Health Information Behaviour into Account: implications of a neglected element for success-ful implementation of consumer health technologies on older adults (HIBA)" at the CoLIS9 conference in Uppsala, Sweden on Taking health behaviour into account (HIBA) project.
Introduction. We report the results of an investigation of the role and implications of the shortage of trust (untrust), mistrust and distrust in the context of information work. Whereas trust has been discussed extensively in information studies literature, its 'dark side' has been largely omitted before.
Information studies symposium (Informaatiotutkimuksen päivät 2016) will be held at University of Tampere 3.-4. November 2016. In the symposium the current phenomena of information studies are explored through the perspectives of professional practices as well as research. Please, participate and send an extended abstract of your presentation (3500 - 7000 characters, spaces included) in the rtf format no later than 5th September 2016 by email to the workshop organizer.
Workshop organised together with Meena Daivadanam (Nutritional Science, Uppsala University), Ă…sa Cajander (Department of IT, Uppsala University) and colleagues at Uppsala Health Summit.
