Call for Papers
Special Issue of the Journal of the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa: Crossroads Digital Humanities
We invite authors and particularly those from the Digital Humanities community to submit manuscripts to a special issue of the JDHASA. In this special issue, we want to investigate the manifold connections of the Digital Humanities with academic disciplines that are not usually connected with DH. We also welcome comparative Digital Humanities studies of different datasets, and hands-on or analytical work in the sciences where Digital Humanities methods or approaches are applied. Practical examples of the application of Digital Humanities and their application to real life problems are equally welcome. In particular, research within the context of Southern Africa is encouraged.
Topic of Interests include but are not limited to: * Connections of Digital Humanities and the Sciences, e.g., DH meets Medicine, Social Science, Education, Geography, or Climate Change; * Digital Humanities methods applied to multiple fields of Humanities, such as Literature and Music, Social Sciences and NLP, Language studies and Education; * Applications of Digital Humanities to real life problems in developing countries and communities; * Digital Humanities research in low-resource environments; * Theoretical or Hermeneutic studies of multi-disciplinary Digital Humanities.
