Dear Colleagues,
The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) is pleased to announce this Call for Proposals for ACH 2021, to be held virtually on July 22-23.
In partnership with the University of Houston’s US Latino Digital Humanities (USLDH) program and University Libraries, Texas Southern University, Rice University, Texas A&M College Station, Texas A&M Prairie View, UH Clear Lake, UH Downtown, and Houston Community College, ACH 2021 will provide a forum for conversations on an expansive definition of digital humanities in a broad array of subject areas, methods, and communities of practice.
CFP details: https://ach.org/blog/2020/12/29/call-for-proposals-association-for-computer…
Deadline for the CFP: February 1, 2021
Submission site: https://www.conftool.org/ach2021/
Please note the details for “Suggested Proposal Types and Duration” that is in the Call for Proposals at the ACH website.
ACH 2021 submissions will undergo fully anonymous peer review. Please remove all identifying information from your proposal submission including author name and affiliation.
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.
For questions and concerns about the CFP, conference program, submissions, Code of Conduct, or accessibility, please contact the program committee co-chairs: Lorena Gauthereau and Tanya Clement (ach2021 [at] ach [dot] org ).
In gratitude and partnership,
The ACH 2021 Program Committee

Hi Barbara,
I am working with Dr. Laura Horak on her Transgender Media Portal <https://transgendermediaportal.ssac.carleton.ca/> project (featuring trans film screening information and video games past and present). We are hoping to recruit a number of students for September 2021, including those who aren’t currently uOttawa or Carleton University students, but who might want to apply. May I lean on you to help spread the good word to students in the Global Outlook DH network?
In hopes and with thanks,
Connie

Call for Special Sub-Topic:
Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage
SEMANTiCS 2021
17th International Conference on Semantic Systems
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
September 6 - 9, 2021
https://2021-eu.semantics.cc/
Special Sub-Topic: Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage
As a thematic extension of the general call of the SEMANTiCS2021 conference, this sub-topic invites high quality submissions that show how Semantic technologies have been applied to develop and improve humanities and cultural heritage research and practice. We invite both research papers describing novel approaches and insights as well as case studies and industry submissions.
Topics of Interest include but are not limited to:
- Cultural Heritage Ontologies and Vocabularies
- Semantic technologies for Digital Humanities
- Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs and Digital Humanities
- Semantic Search for Humanities and Digital Heritage
- Geo-semantics for Humanities and Digital Heritage
- Natural Language Processing for cultural heritage
- Approaches to support Humanities scholars accessing Semantic data
- Social Semantics for Humanities data
- Semantic technologies for Audio-Visual Data
- Historical Entity reconciliation on the Semantic Web
- Semantics and Hermeneutics
- Semantic Social Networks in Heritage data
- Semantic technologies in Digital Libraries
- Ethics & Semantics: humanising knowledge graphs, ethically-aware semantic tech
Author Guidelines and Submission for paper submissions
There are three tracks for which we invite submissions:
- Research and Innovation
- Posters and Demos
- Industry Contributions
Please find the calls and the Author Guidelines for each track at https://2021-eu.semantics.cc/cfp. Please select the special sub-topic “Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage” when submitting your paper.
Accepted research papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Posters & demos will be published in CEUR. Presentations of industry contributions will be published on the conference website.
We deviate from the main track in the following ways:
- We encourage the submission of short data papers (i.e. 1000-word descriptions of a dataset associated with the submitted papers) to the Journal of Open Humanities Data at the same time as the submission of research papers to the conference. The short data papers will be peer-reviewed according to the criteria of the Journal of Open Humanities Data (https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/) and published in a special collection of the Journal. Please note that there is an Article Publishing charge associated with the publication in the journal.
- Best R&I DH paper award. Authors of the best papers submitted to the special sub-topic will be offered the possibility to submit an extended version of their work as a submission to the Semantic Web Journal Special Issue: Cultural Heritage and Semantic Web ( http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/call-papers-special-issue-cultural… ). These will be reviewed in a fast-track considering the extensions.
Review and Evaluation Criteria for paper submissions
Each submission will be reviewed by several PC members. The reviewing process is single-blind. Papers submitted to this sub-topic will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- Appropriateness
- Originality, novelty, and innovativeness
- Impact of results
