DH2022, organized by the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO), will be held July 25-29, 2022 at Toshi Center Hotel, in Tokyo, Japan. The theme of this year’s conference is “Responding to Asian Diversity.” From the call for proposals (English version; the CFP is also available in French, Spanish, German, and Italian):
Asia has a long history of digital humanistic research, reaching back to the 1950s. Over the past several years, the ADHO DH conferences have seen a steady increase in participation and presentations by scholars from India, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, China, Korea, and Japan. There is a closeness among Asian neighbors not only geographically, but also in terms of shared history, cultural values, and linguistic connections. With this background in mind, DH2022 provides an opportunity to showcase not only DH in Japan, but to also provide a window into the breadth of DH research and teaching throughout the Asian region. At the same time, DH2022 offers the chance for Western scholars to visit the wonderful city of Tokyo, and forge long-lasting relationships with Asian colleagues. The organizers hope to provide a place to meet face-to-face for global communication and collaboration among DH colleagues. Nevertheless, the ongoing worldwide crisis due to the COVID pandemic creates challenges for many scholars to participate in-person in the conference. Therefore, the organizers for DH2022 will support an equitable “hybrid” style of conference, with both in-person and virtual forms of presentation and interaction that ensures the high quality of ADHO’s international conference whilst ensuring safety.*
Proposals on a range of pan-Asian topics are especially welcome, but conference organizers also “encourage submissions from all who work in all digital humanities disciplines, methodologies, and pedagogies.” Submission types include:
- Electronic Posters – presented online only (abstract 500-750 words)
- Long presentations (20 minutes; abstract 750-1000 words)
- Short presentations (10 minutes; abstract 500-750 words)
- Panels (90 minutes; abstract 250 words + 300-500 word overview)
- Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (2 hours or 4 hours; 250-word overview plus detailed syllabus (with timeline) and/or relevant existing tutorials) – NB: ADHO’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs) will be holding topical pre-conference meetings that will undergo separate review via SIG organizers. Please contact SIG organizers before submitting a workshop or tutorial proposal on a duplicative SIG topic
All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the appropriate literatures. Citations are not included in the word count. Proposals should be submitted in English. At the time of submission, the author(s) should indicate whether they anticipate participating in the conference in person or remotely.
