The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) invites proposals for ACH 2021, to be held virtually on July 22-23. From the call:
ACH recognizes that this work is inherently and inextricably sociopolitical, and thus especially welcomes proposals that emphasize social justice in the context of anti-racist work, Black studies, Latinx studies, Indigenous studies, cultural and critical ethnic studies, intersectional feminism, postcolonial and decolonial studies, and queer interventions in digital studies.Areas of engagement include but are not limited to:
- Social justice
- Digital surveillance
- Environmental humanities & climate justice
- Computational and digital approaches to humanistic research and pedagogy
- Digital pedagogy, research, and activism during COVID-19
- Digital media, art, literature, history, music, film, and games
- Digital librarianship
- Digital humanities tools and infrastructures
- Humanistic research on digital objects and cultures
- Knowledge infrastructures
- Physical computing
- Resource creation, curation, and engagement
- Use of digital technologies to write, publish, and review scholarship
As an organization committed to cross-disciplinary engagement, ACH welcomes interdisciplinary proposals. We also are especially interested in receiving proposals from participants with a range of expertise and from a variety of roles, including alt-ac positions, employment outside of higher education, and graduate students. We further invite proposals from participants who are newcomers to digital humanities.
Proposals are due by 21 February 2021.
