Debates in the Digital Humanities
Call for General Volume Editors
Debates in the Digital Humanities is looking for a new team to edit the next general volume in the series.
The Debates in the Digital Humanities series, published in print and online<http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/> by the University of Minnesota Press, highlights topics of pressing interest to the field as they emerge. General volumes are published at several-year intervals and seek to survey the full range of issues animating the field at a given moment. (For a sense of this range, see the Table of Contents for the 2012<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/projects/debates-in-the-digital-humanities>, 2016<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/projects/debates-in-the-digital-humanities-20…>, 2019<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/projects/debates-in-the-digital-humanities-20…>, and 2023<https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/projects/debates-in-the-digital-humanities-20…> volumes). These volumes also reflect our interdisciplinary and international audience.
We are looking for a team that can balance a unique editorial vision with a commitment to considering the full scope of current debates in the field. Our editorial teams are intentionally inclusive, typically involving two to three people who bring diverse experiences and perspectives to their work.
We welcome proposals from editorial teams as well as from individuals. (Those who apply independently should be willing to be paired with others to form an editorial team.)
Proposals should consist of an editorial statement of roughly 500 words that describes the team’s (or individual’s) vision for volume and their sense of the field as it currently stands, as well as an additional description of their qualifications. Proposals should also include CVs for all editorial team members. Proposals should be submitted via email to both mgold(a)gc.cuny.edu<mailto:mgold@gc.cuny.edu> and lauren.klein(a)emory.edu<mailto:lauren.klein@emory.edu> by January 31st, 2024.
Finalists will be interviewed in Spring 2024.
Please contact Matt<mailto:mgold@gc.cuny.edu> and Lauren<mailto:lauren.klein@emory.edu> with any questions about the proposal or selection process.

We're delighted to announce the recent publication of our edited volume on "Multilingual Digital Humanities", published by Routledge as part of the Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities series: https://www.routledge.com/Multilingual-Digital-Humanities/Viola-Spence/p/bo… - ISBN 9781032491943<https://www.routledge.com/Multilingual-Digital-Humanities/Viola-Spence/p/bo…>.
Edited by Lorella Viola and Paul Spence, this publication examines the profound impact of monolingualism, with a special focus on challenging Anglocentrism, on digital practices within the humanities and social sciences. This four-part, 13-chapter book navigates infrastructural projects, pedagogical resources, computational models, interface building, and publishing initiatives across diverse case studies, spanning languages such as Arabic, French, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, German, Spanish, Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil.
This book was inspired by the recent growth in multilingual DH initiatives which explore the dynamic intersection of languages, culture, and digital mediation. "Multilingual Digital Humanities" recognizes the digital landscape as a culturally embedded, multilingual entity that weaves together past, present, and future worlds. Our aim was to bring together numerous debates connecting research with a linguistic focus to cultural criticism in Digital Humanities while addressing language technologies, documentation, and international language-based infrastructure creation. We hope that the volume will be useful reading for students, scholars, and practitioners in digital humanities and digital studies.
"Multilingual Digital Humanities" includes the following chapters:
Part I-Multilingual/Multicultural Theory and Practice
1. A model for Multilingual and Multicultural Digital Scholarship Methods Publishing: The Case of Programming Historian (Jennifer Isasi,Riva Quiroga, Nabeel Siddiqui, Joana Vieira Paulino, and Alex Wermer-Colan)

Hi All -- I'm sharing the CFP below on behalf of my colleague Cathy Davidson.
--
HASTAC CFP: Inviting Proposals to Host the Next HASTAC Conference
Expressions of interest due by January 30, 2024 (extended date). Full proposals will be invited thereafter.
We invite proposals to host the twelfth international conference of HASTAC<https://hastac.hcommons.org/> (“Haystack”), the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory, often called “the world’s first and oldest academic social network.” We are currently inviting proposals to host a conference in 2024, 2025 or later.
With leadership at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and Dartmouth College, HASTAC has some 18,000 network members and, in 2022, migrated its website to the collaborative Humanities Commons<https://hcommons.org/>. Each HASTAC conference has been hosted by a different institution or team of institutions that take the lead in shaping, deciding, and running all aspects of the conference. Historically, conference hosts have selected themes that best support their mission and that of HASTAC.
To read more about this opportunity to host our next conference and submit a preliminary application, click here.<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrJd-QMAtbng0mmvwWe2ECAQCcpsPzv9z…>

First call for papers
The fifth workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Language (RAIL)
Colocated with LREC-COLING 2024
https://bit.ly/rail2024
Conference dates: 20-25 May 2024
Workshop date: 25 May 2024
Venue: Lingotto Conference Centre, Torino (Italy)
The fifth RAIL workshop website: https://bit.ly/rail2024
LREC-COLING 2024 website: https://lrec-coling-2024.org/
The fifth Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop
will be co-located with LREC-COLING 2024 in Lingotto Conference Centre,
Torino, Italy on 25 May 2024. The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary
platform for researchers working on resources (data collections, tools,
etc.) specifically targeted towards African indigenous languages. In
particular, it aims to create the conditions for the emergence of a
scientific community of practice that focuses on data, as well as
computational linguistic tools specifically designed for or applied to
indigenous languages found in Africa.
Many African languages are under-resourced while only a few of them are
somewhat better resourced. These languages often share interesting
properties such as writing systems, or tone, making them different from
most high-resourced languages. From a computational perspective, these
languages lack enough corpora to undertake high level development of
Human Language Technologies (HLT) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
tools, which in turn impedes the development of African languages in
these areas. During previous workshops, it has become clear that the
problems and solutions presented are not only applicable to African
languages but are also relevant to many other low-resource languages.
Because these languages share similar challenges, this workshop
provides researchers with opportunities to work collaboratively on
issues of language resource development and learn from each other.
The RAIL workshop has several aims. First, the workshop brings together
researchers who work on African indigenous languages, forming a
community of practice for people working on indigenous languages.
Second, the workshop aims to reveal currently unknown or unpublished
existing resources (corpora, NLP tools, and applications), resulting in
a better overview of the current state-of-the-art, and also allows for
discussions on novel, desired resources for future research in this
area. Third, it enhances sharing of knowledge on the development of
low-resource languages. Finally, it enables discussions on how to
improve the quality as well as availability of the resources.
The workshop has “Creating resources for less-resourced languages” as
its theme, but submissions on any topic related to properties of
African indigenous languages (including non-African languages) may be
accepted. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the
following:
* Digital representations of linguistic structures
* Descriptions of corpora or other data sets of African indigenous
languages
* Building resources for (under resourced) African indigenous languages
* Developing and using African indigenous languages in the digital age
* Effectiveness of digital technologies for the development of African
indigenous languages
* Revealing unknown or unpublished existing resources for African
indigenous languages
* Developing desired resources for African indigenous languages
* Improving quality, availability and accessibility of African
indigenous language resources
Submission requirements:
We invite papers on original, unpublished work related to the topics of
the workshop. Submissions, presenting completed work, may consist of up
to eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references. The
final camera-ready version of accepted long papers are allowed one
additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ feedback
can be incorporated. Papers should be formatted according to the LREC-
COLING style sheet (https://lrec-coling-2024.org/authors-kit/), which
is provided on the LREC-COLING 2024 website
(https://lrec-coling-2024.org/). Reviewing is double-blind, so make
sure to anonymise your submission (e.g., do not provide author names,
affiliations, project names, etc.) Limit the amount of self citations
(anonymised citations should not be used). The RAIL workshop follows
the LREC-COLING submission requirements.
Please submit papers in PDF format to the START account (the submission
link will be available soon). Accepted papers will be published in
proceedings linked to the LREC-COLING conference.
Important dates:
Submission deadline: 16 February 2024
Date of notification: 15 March 2024
Camera ready deadline: 29 March 2024
RAIL workshop: 25 May 2024
