Call for participation DHASA Conference 2021 https://dh2021.digitalhumanities.org.za/ Theme: “Digitally Human, Artificially Intelligent” Conference: 29 November 2021 - 3 December 2021 The Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) is organizing its third conference with the theme “Digitally Human, Artificially Intelligent”. The field of Digital Humanities is currently still rather underdeveloped in Southern Africa. Hence, this conference has several aims. First, to bring together researchers who are interested in showcasing their research from the broad field of Digital Humanities. By doing so, this conference provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art of Digital Humanities especially in the Southern Africa region. This includes Digital Humanities research by people from Southern Africa or research related to the geographical area of Southern Africa. Second, the conference allows for information sharing among researchers interested in Digital Humanities as well as network building. By bringing together researchers working on Digital Humanities from Southern Africa or on Southern Africa, we hope to boost collaboration and research in this field. Third, affiliated workshops and tutorials provide information for researchers to learn about novel technologies and tools. These related events are aimed at researchers interested in the field of Digital Humanities, to focus on specific aspects of Digital Humanities or to provide practical information for researchers to move into the field or advance their knowledge in the field. The DHASA conference is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on all areas of Digital Humanities (including, but not limited to language, literature, visual art, performance and theatre studies, media studies, music, history, sociology, psychology, language technologies, library studies, philosophy, methodologies, software and computation, etc.). It aims to create the conditions for the emergence of a scientific Digital Humanities community of practice. Given the current state of the Covid pandemic, the conference will be fully virtual. Programme The conference programme (including co-located events) can be found on the DHASA 2021 website: https://dh2021.digitalhumanities.org.za/schedule/ Co-located events The conference boasts several co-located events, including the 2nd RAIL workshop (https://bit.ly/3eBimo9), and a range of tutorials (e.g., CATMA, Glosario hackathon, WikimediaZA edit-a-thon, Digitalization and Visualization (A practical approach with TEI data), Text Mining for Newbies, Expanding the influence of DH throughout the humanities – Introducing Gale Digital Scholar Lab). Costs Participation at the conference and all co-located events is free, but DHASA membership (only ZAR250!) is required.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues, The Global Digital Humanities Symposium Planning Committee is pleased to announce the Keynote Presenters for the 7th annual Symposium, scheduled for March 23-25, 2022. We are looking forward to their individual presentations as well as a discussion at the end of the Symposium among the three Keynote Presenters, bringing their work into conversation with each other. Keynote Presenters: * June Rubis, Sydney Environment Institute, University of Sydney * Olivia Quintanilla, University of California, Santa Barbara * Hanna Musiol, Norwegian University of Science and Technology This virtual event will take place synchronously over three days, with approximately four hours each day of programming. The Symposium is seeking participants to review proposals. The symposia of past years have been successful thanks to the generous contributions of our reviewers who have helped to shape engaging and wide-ranging scholarly programs, and the GO:DH community has been especially key in this respect. We’re hoping to expand our numbers this year, particularly with those who are readers of Spanish and French, and would love to have your participation. If you’re interested in reviewing, please fill out this brief form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSfUY9lzl357gIvhgCTINx42_Fo3obZIr…> by Monday, November 29th, 2021. As a reviewer, you would be assigned 4 to 6 proposals, each of which you’d be asked to evaluate in a short online form. We expect to send reviewers their assignments December 3rd, and will ask for completed reviews by January 4, 2022. As in past years, we run a double-anonymous review process, so you will review proposals without identifying information, and your identity will remain anonymous as well. Additionally, the Call for Proposals is still open and is 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, 2021, 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. The Global Digital Humanities Symposium holds its community and participants to the following Code of Conduct<https://msuglobaldh.org/code-of-conduct>.
