Dear all,
On behalf of the Global Outlook::DH group, I am reaching out to the global DH community with a call for translators. The group established the Translation Board<http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/translation-commons/> and runs various Translation Initiatives to make global digital humanities scholarship available to the broadest possible audience.
We would like to expand the Translation Board to provide the website content and other messages in many different languages. The Global Outlook::DH Translation Board is a group of volunteers who translate the organization’s announcements, publications, and projects into languages other than English, and/or who translate scholarship written in other languages into English for dissemination through GO::DH.
If you’d like to volunteer for the Translation Board, please fill out this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUAzqWAxyloz8Yi_BnrvUoPvhZ7qUvt6_…>.
Best wishes,

Dear all,
We are pleased to invite proposals for contributions to the Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities book we are editing for the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu> (University of Minnesota Press). (See our full, more detailed CFP<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-critical-infrastructure-studies-digi…>.)
Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities aims to direct the attention of digital humanists to the wider area of infrastructure studies, and deploy perspectives gained from that wider infrastructuralism to better understand the infrastructures of DH. It will bring infrastructural approaches front and center as an area where DH is uniquely equipped to lead the humanities in thought and practice, using its own infrastructural legacy as inspiration and mirror. The aim is to understand how infrastructure underpins and influences DH, and how DH in turn can influence infrastructure design, development, and maintenance. The volume will promote understanding of critical infrastructure studies as a field of writing and practice, and open dialogues between DH and cognate infrastructural fields.
Please consider contributing a work for Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities that might fit into one of the following three categories:
1. Critical Infrastructure Studies from the Perspective of DH: Argumentative essays (preferably in the range of 6,000 words) that explore issues and debates around historical or contemporary infrastructures, or infrastructuralism at large, but with attention to (or through the lens of) their digital platforms, technologies, data, media, and other features of interest to DH.
2. Digital Humanities from the Perspective of Critical Infrastructure Studies: Argumentative essays (preferably in the range of 6,000 words) that explore debates, histories, and theories of the infrastructures of DH itself, and of its institutions and practices, in ways that exceed a narrow disciplinary focus or a “this is my project” mode. Essays would ideally draw DH into wider vistas that will interest humanists in general or scholars in other fields.
3. (Re)Envisioning DH Infrastructure: Briefer textual or multimedia (e.g., digital arts, graphic novel, filmic, musical), interactive, data-modeled, documentary, creative, or other works that help envision or reenvision infrastructures and are represented by a critical statement. (Contributions for this category can include materials in digital form to be embedded or linked from the open-access, online version of the volume that will appear on the Manifold platform three months after the publication of the print book. But there must be a standalone critical statement for the print book.)
To ensure that the volume includes diverse viewpoints, the editors encourage contributions from scholars, scholar-activists, practitioners, artists, designers, engineers, and others from different racial, ethnic, and indigenous backgrounds, from the LGBTQ community, from around the world, from different disciplines and kinds of institutions, and from those at all levels and stages in their profession. (Contributions must be in English, though translations in other languages provided by authors may be included in the post-print, open-access version of the volume.)
A distinctive feature of Critical Infrastructure Studies & Digital Humanities is that each essay or other contribution will include a brief “infrastructure manifest” that declares the principal infrastructures underlying its creation—e.g., natural resources, unceded indigenous land, and major platforms, networks, tools, and institutional or other structures providing sources, storage, processing and workflow (including writing, visualizing, communicating, and collaborating), and labor and expertise—along with any key ethical considerations.
Please see the full CFP and timeline on the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series website: https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-critical-infrastructure-studies-digi…
We invite proposals by December 15, 2021. Please submit 500-word abstracts and a short bio to ayliu(a)english.ucsb.edu<mailto:ayliu@english.ucsb.edu>, urszula.pawlicka-deger(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:urszula.pawlicka-deger@kcl.ac.uk>, and james.smithies(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:james.smithies@kcl.ac.uk>.

Who has Access to Digital Humanities? Diversity and Inclusivity in Digital Humanities in Ireland and the UK
22 October 2021, 09:30-15:30
Please register for a place at the virtual event:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/who-has-access-to-digital-humanities-tickets…
The convenors of an Arts and Humanities Research Council/Irish Research Council funded project to undertake research and consultation towards the implementation of a permanent Digital Humanities association for the UK and Ireland (see list of team members at https://dhnetwork.org/) invite submissions from individuals to co-create an event relating to DH and inclusion.
One of the dreams of information and communication technologies is that of equitable and open access to information, to services, and to opportunities. We know, of course, that this is only true on the surface, and that technological systems tend to recreate the inequities of the cultures and societies that build them. As such, the dream of the digital humanities as a ‘big tent’ (that is, capacious, broad and inclusive) is also one that we need to constantly query and challenge if the field is to have a claim to being inclusive and diverse.
This is a particularly pressing issue as we explore the potential for a regional DH network to support the use and promotion of DH methods in the UK and Ireland.

Dear colleagues,
The Global Digital Humanities Symposium Planning Committee is pleased to open the Call for Proposals for the 7th annual Symposium, scheduled for March 23-25, 2022. This virtual event will take place synchronously over three days, with approximately four hours each day of programming.
The Call for Proposals is now available in English, French, and Spanish (links below), and proposals and presentations are welcome in any of these three languages. During the Symposium, we will support live interpretation of presentations in these languages. Live captions will also be provided for presentations given in English. Further details about multilingualism at the Symposium are available in the CFP.
Deadline to apply: Wednesday, December 1, 2020, midnight in your timezone
Full CFP - English - https://msuglobaldh.org/call-for-proposals-english
Full CFP - Espagnol - https://msuglobaldh.org/call-for-proposals-espagnol
Full CFP - Français - https://msuglobaldh.org/call-for-proposals-francais
This year we especially anticipate and welcome presentations on the following topics:
* Digital humanities, the environment, and the climate crisis
* Issues of healthcare and the digital humanities
* Global DH during a global pandemic
We are always interested to hear about the following topics:
* Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital
* Surveillance, censorship, and/or data privacy in a global context
* Productive failure; failure as a part of DH praxis
* Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western
* Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance
* How identity categories and their intersections, shape digital humanities work
* Global digital pedagogies and emerging technologies
* Equity and inclusion in digital access
* Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and anti-colonialism
* Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital
* Multilingualism and the digital
* Global research dialogues and collaborations
* Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context
* Virtual worlds and digital storytelling
Presentation formats:
* 5-minute lightning talk (250-300 word proposal)
* 15-minute presentation (250-300 word proposal)
* 90-minute panel (100-word proposal describing the panel as a whole, plus 100-word description for each presentation within the panel)
* 60-minute Workshop (250-300 word proposal)
* Project showcase (250-300 word proposal)
* There will be a session similar to a poster presentation fair, in which presenters will share their work with small groups or individuals. Rather than a set presentation length, this project showcase will enable one-on-one feedback and ask presenters to share about their work in a more conversational and extemporaneous way.
Free registration for the Symposium will open in late January 2022. Find out more, including information about past Symposia at https://msuglobaldh.org/.
