First call for papers DHASA Conference 2025
https://dh2025.digitalhumanities.org.za
Theme: The role of humanities in digital humanities and artificial
intelligence
The Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) is
pleased to announce its fifth conference, focusing on the theme The
role of humanities in digital humanities and artificial intelligence.
In a region where the field of Digital Humanities is still relatively
underdeveloped, this conference aims to address this gap and foster
growth and collaboration in the field. The conference offers an
opportunity for researchers interested in showcasing their work in the
broad field of Digital Humanities to come together. By doing so, the
conference provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-
the-art in Digital Humanities, particularly within the Southern Africa
region. As such, we welcome submissions related to Digital Humanities
research conducted by individuals from Southern Africa or research
focused on the geographical area of Southern Africa in the broad sense.
Furthermore, the conference serves as a platform for information
sharing and networking among researchers passionate about Digital
Humanities. By bringing together experts working on Digital Humanities
in Southern Africa or with a focus on Southern Africa, we aim to
promote collaboration and facilitate further research in this dynamic
field. In addition to the main conference, affiliated workshops and
tutorials will be organised, providing researchers with valuable
insights into novel technologies and tools. These supplementary events
are designed for researchers interested in specific aspects of Digital
Humanities or seeking practical information to enter or advance their
knowledge in the field.
The DHASA conference welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from
researchers in various domains 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, AI, and more. Our goal is to cultivate an
inclusive scientific community of practice within Digital Humanities.
Suggested topics include the following:
* The role of AI in digital humanities, the role of Digital Humanities
in shaping AI, and the broader role of the humanities in both AI and DH
projects;
* Digital archives and the preservation of marginalised voices;
* Intersectionality and the digital humanities: exploring the
intersections of race, gender, sexuality, culture, and class in digital
research and activism;
* Activism and social change through digital media: how digital
humanities tools and methodologies can be used to promote inclusion;
* Engaging marginalised communities in the creation and use of digital
tools, resources, and AI;
* Exploring the role of digital humanities in decolonising knowledge
and promoting indigenous perspectives;
* The ethics of data collection and analysis in digital humanities and
AI research;
* The role of digital humanities and AI in promoting inclusive and
equitable pedagogy;
* Digital humanities and inclusion in the context of African and global
perspectives and international collaborations;
* Critical approaches to digital humanities and inclusion: examining
the limitations and possibilities of digital tools and methodologies in
promoting inclusion; and
* Collaborative digital humanities projects with non-profit
organisations, community groups, and cultural institutions;
* Development of digital and AI tools for supporting digital
humanities;
* Novel utilisation of digital and AI tools for performing digital
humanities research;
* The role of digital humanities in the classroom: reimagining literacy
and AI fluency
* Digital humanities data and project management;
* The role of librarians in the digital humanities project;
* Any other digital humanities-related topic that serves the Southern
African community.

Hi all,
The Department of English has two positions open this spring: post-1960s literature (tenure track) and eighteenth century (3yr term). Application deadline is March 10. You can find out more here<https://uleth.peopleadmin.ca/postings/8085> (post-1960s) and here<https://uleth.peopleadmin.ca/postings/8089> (eighteenth century).
In both cases, the department is looking explicitly for people who can teach in these areas and help broaden and expand our range of offerings and our research/supervision, so additional interests that complement those of the other members of the department or bring new areas to us are particularly welcome. This could mean anything from DH to Decolonisation; Children's literature to Critical Race Theory.
We are a small department that is beginning what we hope will be a period of rebuilding after significant budget cuts. This means that any hires in these areas will have considerable scope for developing the programme in their area(s) of expertise.
Please feel free to pass these ads on to potential candidates. While all applications will be considered, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given preference.
