Call for Papers for 2023
The Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD)<https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/> features peer-reviewed publications describing humanities research objects with high potential for reuse. These might include curated resources like (annotated) linguistic corpora, ontologies, and lexicons, as well as databases, maps, atlases, linked data objects, and other data sets created with qualitative, quantitative, or computational methods.
We are currently inviting submissions of two varieties:
1. Short data papers contain a concise description of a humanities research object with high reuse potential. These are short (1000 words) highly structured narratives. A data paper does not replace a traditional research article, but rather complements it.
2. Full length research papers discuss and illustrate methods, challenges, and limitations in humanities research data creation, collection, management, access, processing, or analysis. These are intended to be longer narratives (3,000 - 5,000 words), which give authors the ability to contribute to a broader discussion regarding the creation of research objects or methods.
Humanities subjects of interest to the JOHD include, but are not limited to Art History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Literature, Modern Languages, Music and musicology, Philosophy, Religious Studies, etc. Research that crosses one or more of these traditional disciplinary boundaries is highly encouraged. Authors are encouraged to publish their data in recommended repositories<https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/about/#repo>. More information about the submission process<https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/about/submissions>, editorial policies<https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/about/editorialpolicies/> and archiving<https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/about/> is available on the journal’s web pages.
JOHD provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
We accept online submissions via our journal website. See Author Guidelines <https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/about/submissions/> for further information. Alternatively, please contact the editor<https://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/contact/> if you are unsure as to whether your research is suitable for submission to the journal.
Authors remain the copyright holders and grant third parties the right to use, reproduce, and share the article according to the Creative Commons<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/> licence agreement.

Dear Colleagues,
The distributed special issue of Ethnic Studies Review on “Abolitionist Pedagogies, Pedagogical Labor” edited by Steven Gotzler, Vineeta Singh, and Roopika Risam is looking for artifacts from your teaching!
We’ve previously published a grading system model<https://online.ucpress.edu/esr/article/45/2-3/49/194546/Reframing-Grading-R…> and a syllabus integrating anti-carceral pedagogies<https://online.ucpress.edu/esr/article/45/2-3/53/194549/A-Collaborative-Exp…>.
As you approach the end of the term, we encourage you to consider whether any of your syllabi, assignments, course policies, and/or activities fit our issue on abolitionist pedagogical practices<https://online.ucpress.edu/esr/article/45/2-3/43/194545/Abolitionist-Pedago…>. (Check out our call for submissions<https://online.ucpress.edu/esr/article/45/2-3/62/194548/CALL-FOR-SUBMISSION…>!) We accept submissions from folks teaching in all kinds of education (higher ed, K-12, alternative) settings.
Submissions of these artifacts should be accompanied by a brief designer’s note (500–1,500 words) offering explanatory insight on your artifact(s) and framing their use with examples and/or instructions.
You can submit your designer note and artifact(s) directly to us at abolitionist.ped(a)gmail.com by July 15, 2023. No abstract is needed.
Our distributed special issue model means that instead of a single issue published at once, we’re rolling out material on our topic over time, aiming to create sustained dialogue.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the editors at abolitionist.ped(a)gmail.com or to me directly at roopika.risam(a)dartmouth.edu if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Roopsi

Subject: [Eadh-topics] Reminder Submission DH4MA Workshop
Date: April 5, 2023 at 10:22:20 AM MDT
To: carlinocarola4(a)gmail.com<mailto:carlinocarola4@gmail.com>
Cc: antoniopascucci1990(a)gmail.com<mailto:antoniopascucci1990@gmail.com>
Dear scholars,
we would like to remind you that there is time until April 12 to submit your proposals for the DH4MA workshop.
Below are the guidelines previously shared.
*apologies for cross-postings*
Please circulate this to all scholars who may be interested.
We are happy to announce the first edition of DH4MA, the International workshop on tangible and intangible heritage digitization to promote marginal areas and rural development.
Title
DH4MA - (Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas)
About
The Digital Humanities for Marginal Areas (DH4MA) workshop aims to investigate the state of the art of tangible and intangible heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas and their accessibility. DH4MA will be held in conjunction with the DH2023 conference<https://dh2023.adho.org/> and is organized in the framework of the KiNESIS Erasmus+ project<https://www.kinesis-network.eu/homesite/1/1/home-page.html>.
The digital divide issue affects several areas all over the world, including those that despite being part of the most developed countries, are behind the times of the digital revolution. Museums, libraries and centres of culture located in these areas often cannot foster their cultural heritage. In light of the above, Digital Humanities (DH) techniques represent an opportunity not to be missed to raise awareness of their cultural heritage and to overcome the digital divide.
The consciousness of the digital divide, poor visibility and the need to improve communication strategies emerged during the covid-19 lockdown, when several cultural institutions made their cultural heritage available online (Cicerchia et al., 2021; Agostino et al., 2020; Fresh, 2021), allowing people to enjoy it in a new different way (e.g. Guggenheim Museum of New York<https://www.guggenheim.org/group-visits>, The Paul Getty Museum of Los Angeles<https://artsandculture.google.com/streetview/the-j-paul-getty-museum/cwFdGY…>, The Uffizi Gallery of Florence<https://www.virtualuffizi.com/map-%26-virtual-tour.html>, The Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam<https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/masterpieces-up-close>). Nevertheless, small centres of culture were not able to offer their collections online. Only a few of them were able to make a real revolution (Roblek et al., 2021), also by exploiting cooperation between only seemingly distant disciplines (e.g. computer science and librarians, humanists and game creators) to promote tangible and intangible heritage.
Topics of interest
Relevant topics for the DH4MA workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
*
Cultural heritage digitization in marginal and rural areas;
*
Best practices to reduce the digital divide in marginal and rural areas;
*
Investigation and evaluation of the degree of digitization in marginal and rural areas;
*
DH techniques to promote cultural heritage;
*
Promoting cultural heritage through gamification techniques;
*
Research cooperation between people/teams with different expertise to promote cultural heritage;
*
Research projects aiming to reduce the digital divide;
*
Research projects aimed at promoting cultural heritage through cooperation between scholars and local associations
Research questions
Bringing together scholars dealing with different research fields, the DH4MA aims to answer (not only) the following questions:
*
Do exist examples of tangible and intangible heritage digitization that can be defined as best practices?
*
Which are the best strategies implemented at the global level to reduce the digital divide between marginal and rural areas and most developed areas?
*
Which are the best examples of cultural heritage promotion through the collaboration between people/teams with different backgrounds?
*
Is it possible to consider cultural heritage promotion through DH techniques as an opportunity to fight the depopulation phenomenon? How?
