Dear colleagues,

The Program Committee would like to remind you gently that submissions for
the 2017 Members Meeting and Conference of the Text Encoding Initiative
Consortium is Monday, May 15.

The meeting will be held at the University of Victoria, in British
Columbia, Canada. Workshops are scheduled for November 11 and 12, with the
conference on November 13-15.

The cfp that is reproduced here for your convenience can also be found on
the conference website <http://hcmc.uvic.ca/tei2017/cfp.php>
Call for Papers

The Program Committee is pleased to announce its call for proposals for the
17th annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative
Consortium (TEI), which will be held November 13-15, 2017, at the
University of Victoria, B.C., Canada; with workshops November 11-12.

This year's theme, Pedagogy and Praxis, is particularly apt since we are
meeting at the home of the widely celebrated Digital Humanities Summer
Institute.

All TEI-related proposals for individual papers, panel sessions, posters,
and demonstrations are welcome. Special consideration will be given to
proposals related to this year's theme, Pedagogy and Praxis.

In teaching and learning TEI, we engage students in real research
partnerships, giving them opportunities to produce the editions they use in
the classroom. Yet materials for teaching TEI are still nascent and consist
mainly of project documentation, the TEI=E2=80=99s own introductory materia=
ls,
online tutorials, and collected examples. The crucial next phase of DH work
is training. Pedagogy is closely allied to praxis, the ways in which ideas
become digital objects. The majority of current practitioners of TEI have
acquired their skills in haphazard ways, via what Diane Jakacki has called
a =E2=80=9Csecond education.=E2=80=9D However, as the tools and technologie=
s have matured
and the practices have become more rigorous and theoretically-inflected, we
have a disciplinary obligation to develop equally rigorous and standardized
training methods for new learners. Our CFP therefore invites proposals that
interrogate, theorize, and model how we might best transform TEI standards
into collaborative knowledge construction. We encourage submissions that
describe pedagogical experiments (failed or successful), showcase tools and
materials that encoding classes will need, propose ways of embedding
encoding classes into current curricula, theorize the relationship between
TEI practice and classroom praxis, reflect on what collaboration means in
the pedagogical environment, describe partnerships between classrooms and
DH projects, and imagine future training opportunities. Our conference
theme thus foregrounds the development of skills and activities of future
scholars.
Submissions

All submissions should include a title, an abstract, a brief biography of
all the author(s)/speaker(s), and up to five keywords.

Word counts apply to the text of the abstract, excluding titles,
biographies and keywords.
Individual papers

Speakers will be given 30 minutes each: 20 minutes for presentation, 10
minutes for discussion. Proposals should not exceed 300 words.
Panel sessions

Panels will be given 90 minutes, which can be used flexibly to include, for
example, 3 individual papers followed by questions, or a roundtable
discussion. Panel proposals must include a list of speakers and their
biographies.

Proposals for 3 papers should not exceed 3 x 300 words, plus a 200-word
introduction. Proposals for discussion panels should not exceed 600 words.
Posters

A =E2=80=9Cposter slam=E2=80=9D session will be dedicated to poster present=
ations of 3
minutes each. Subsequently, poster presenters will have the chance to tell
interested parties more about their project during the poster exhibition,
where the audience can browse freely. Proposals for poster presentations
should not exceed 300 words.
Demonstrations

A dedicated demonstration session will provide tool presenters with an
opportunity to show the tools they are working on and with. Tool
demonstrators will be given 15 minutes each: 10 minutes for presentation, 5
minutes for questions. Proposals for tool demonstrations should not exceed
300 words.
Workshops

Workshops will be held before the conference, November 11-12, 2017. They
provide an opportunity for participants to work together on TEI-related
topics. Proposals for workshops should not exceed 800 words and must
include:

   - A brief outline of the proposed topic and its appeal to the TEI
   community
   - The duration of the proposed workshop or seminar (half day, full day)
   - Any special requirements (e.g. laptops, projector, flipchart)
   - A list of proposed workshop leader(s), with a brief biography of each
   one

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
