VRAB Call for Papers: Digital Humanities Special Issue
Call for Papers for the VRA Bulletin Fall/Winter 2024 Special Issue
The Root of Things: Grounding the Digital Humanities in an Increasingly Groundless World
Guest Editors: Apartheid Heritages
This issue seeks to tackle how we, as digital humanists, archivists, librarians, and otherwise find solid ground to work from as we face an onslaught of precarity exacerbated by systemic injustice. “The Root of Things” will feature contributions by invited scholars, including leading scholars in the field. This is a peer-reviewed issue, and we invite all genres and projects of academic writing, including standard journal articles, state-of-the-field essays, and metareflections on previous experiences. Scholars and practitioners at all career stages, including students, and those from different disciplines are encouraged to submit an abstract. Abstracts for articles co-authored with community collaborators/co-creators or abstracts from community engagement offices are not just welcomed but encouraged.
Timeline:
August 15, 2023: submit short abstracts of about 250-300 words
September 15, 2023: editors will notify contributors
February 15, 2024: articles are due for submission
June 2024: peer-review edits will be returned
The publication of the special issue is planned for late Fall 2024.
