Scaffold: the Journal for the Institute of Comparative Studies of Literature, Art, and Culture has issued a call for papers for its next issue titled “Oh, the (Digital) Humanity!: Building a Collaborative Future,” which focuses on the importance of digital humanities in the academy. The journal seeks articles (5,000–7,000 words) that explore innovative uses of DH tools and reflections on their application. Potential topics include the use of DH tools for teaching, AI in DH, the use of digital archives in research, critical analysis of digital humanities projects, and more. From the CFP:
This call for papers seeks articles that take a strong stance for the digital humanities and advocates for their role in the academy. We seek papers that present research using or analysis of DH tools that enable new kinds of research and new ways of doing humanities research. Though critical analysis of these tools is always welcome and indeed necessary, in particular we seek articles that present hopeful and exciting ways that the digital humanities can be used to enhance research.
Please email proposals of approximately 300-500 words to scaffoldjournal@gmail.com, including a brief author bio, by May 5th 2025. Accepted authors will be informed by the end of May, with full articles due for review by the end of July 2025.
