Hi All,

I'm delighted to share two CFPs with upcoming deadlines. Please consider submitting your work for these exciting upcoming volumes!

CFP: Debates in US Latinx DHhttps://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/debates-in-us-latinx-dh, Edited by Gabriela Baeza Ventura, María E. Cotera, Annemarie Perez, and Carolina Villarroel (Deadline: May 15, 2025)

The directions of US Latinx DH are diverse, multilingual, inter and anti-disciplinary, intergenerational, and transnational; they are frequently resistant to traditional academic spaces such as universities, libraries, and museums in the United States. In this sense, US Latinx DH constantly intervenes in and opposes nationalism and colonialism. Latinx digital humanities projects often begin by deconstructing technology’s languages and practices. These projects are frequently shaped by ethnic studies, critical race theory, and US Latinx epistemological praxis. In defining and “doing” or making US Latinx DH, we recognize that, historically educational, and cultural institutions (universities, galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (UGLAMs) do not always welcome US Latinx peoples, even in cases where our people and cultures are the subjects and objects of study. US Latinx DH reverses these practices, in part, by working closely with non-institutional archives, communities, and their institutions as partners, rather than treating them and their data as resources to be mined. Individuals and systems are met where they are, projects are shaped by unique needs and practices, rather than having to conform to the structures of traditional scholarship. Resources are brought to and preserved in rather than taken from communities. In its structure, implementation, and access, US Latinx DH seeks to heal harms done to our communities by fields such as anthropology, history, and literary, and library studies through institutional archives and museums.

CFP: Debates in the Digital Humanities 2028https://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-debates-in-the-digital-humanities-2028, Edited by Kelly Baker Josephs and Lindsay Thomas (Deadline: May 25, 2025)

Possible topics for the 2028 volume include but are not limited to:

* State of the field. What are the topics, methods, and other approaches that define the digital humanities? How do various sub-fields of DH relate to each other? What opportunities and/or challenges remain unaddressed? * DH and the disciplines. How do (or might) allied fields such as STS, design, information science, media studies, computational social science, and the history of computing inform or be informed by the debates in the digital humanities? How are DH scholars contributing to conversations in disciplines traditionally outside of the humanities but that are now increasingly interested in “humanities” questions and topics? * DH and artificial intelligence. How can DHers engage with AI from critical, historical, and/or technical perspectives? What is the role of DH in building better, more socially responsible, more ethically sound AI systems – or in not building them? * DH pedagogy. How should – or shouldn’t – the digital humanities be taught? What role does DH have to play in various curricula and disciplines? What does DH look like at different educational levels and institutional types? * DH and the academy. What is the role of DH in a moment defined by threats to academic freedom and other foundational values of higher education? How can DHers help to imagine and bring about a more just and equitable vision for higher education? How is DH practiced (or how should it be) when focused on publics outside the academy? * DH in the present geopolitical moment. What is the role of the field in combating the racism, sexism, xenophobia, and other injustices promoted by nationalist political movements around the globe?
