    <div>Registration is now open for Textual Embodiments, the 2017 STS annual conference!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>MITH, AADHum, and the Society for Textual Scholarship (STS) are thrilled to announce that registration is now open for the forthcoming annual STS conference, <a href="http://mith.umd.edu/research/textual-embodiments-sts-2017/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><em>Textual Embodiments</em></a>. The conference will engage a range of issues involving the materiality of texts, including their physical, virtual, and performative manifestations as objects that can decay or break down and can potentially be repaired and sustained over time. It also concerns the processes of inclusion and exclusion through which bodies of texts take shape in the form of editions, archives, collections, and exhibition building, as well as the ethical responsibilities faced by textual scholars, archivists, conservationists, media archaeologists, digital resource creators, and cultural heritage professionals engaging in these processes.</div>

All are welcome!<br><br>Abstract:<br>This presentation will examine histories of Latin American immigration, migration, and deportation in the United States.  It locates the structural and institutional roots of today’s Mexican and Central American migration to the United States in a number of historical global processes. Thus, Chomsky explains how the cross-border movement of people emerged in the context of late twentieth century globalization as well as through a much longer global history of colonialism, displacement and removal of Indigenous peoples in both North and South America. The role of social, economic and political forces driving these processes, such as nation-state building, economic development, and labor struggles, will be addressed.<br><br><br>Please see the attached flyer for more information. <br>

<Title>CFP: Interactive Digital Storytelling (ICIDS)</Title>
<Tagline>10th International Conference</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">This year, the International Conference on Interactive Digital 
    Storytelling (ICIDS​ ​2017) will take place in Funchal, Madeira Islands,
     Portugal and be hosted by the​ ​Madeira Interactive Technologies 
    Institute &lt;<a href="http://www.m-iti.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.m-iti.org/</a>&gt;.<br>
    <br>
    ICIDS &lt;<a href="http://www.icids.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.icids.org/</a>&gt;
     has its origin in a series of related international conferences that 
    ran between 2001 and 2007. Since 2008, ICIDS became the premier annual 
    venue that gathers researchers, developers, practitioners and theorists 
    to present and share the latest innovations, insights and techniques in 
    the expanding field of interactive storytelling and the technologies 
    that support it. ICIDS welcomes contributions from a large range of 
    fields and disciplines related to interactive storytelling.<br>
    <br>
    We encourage original contributions in the forms of research papers, 
    position papers, posters and demonstrations, presenting new scientific 
    results, innovative theories, novel technological implementations, case 
    studies and creative artistic projects in the field of Interactive 
    Digital Storytelling and its possible applications in different domains.
     We particularly welcome research on topics in five areas, such as 
    storytelling technologies and analyses and evaluation of systems. (More 
    information here) &lt;<a href="http://icids2017.m-iti.org/?page_id=232#papers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://icids2017.m-iti.org/?page_id=232#papers</a>&gt;.<br>
