The Second Annual Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) Call for Proposals for ACH 2021 (online, July 22-23, 2021)
CFP Information: https://ach.org/blog/2020/12/29/call-for-proposals-association-for-computers-and-the-humanities-2021/
Deadline for the CFP: February 1, 2021
In partnership with the University of Houston’s US Latino Digital Humanities (USLDH) program and University Libraries, Texas Southern University, Rice University, Texas A&M College Station, Texas A&M Prairie View, UH Clear Lake, UH Downtown, and Houston Community College, ACH 2021 will provide a forum for conversations on an expansive definition of digital humanities in a broad array of subject areas, methods, and communities of practice.
As an organization committed to cross-disciplinary engagement, ACH welcomes interdisciplinary proposals. We also are especially interested in receiving proposals from participants with a range of expertise and from a variety of roles, including alt-ac positions, employment outside of higher education, and graduate students. We further invite proposals from participants who are newcomers to digital humanities.ACH recognizes that this work is inherently and inextricably sociopolitical, and thus especially welcomes proposals that emphasize social justice in the context of anti-racist work, Black studies, Latinx studies, Indigenous studies, cultural and critical ethnic studies, intersectional feminism, postcolonial and decolonial studies, and queer interventions in digital studies.
Please note the details for “Suggested Proposal Types and Duration” that is in the Call for Proposals at the ACH website. Proposals will be submitted using ConfTool. Please create a new account to submit your proposal. Given that ACH2021 is a virtual conference, we especially encourage those proposing sessions to consider formats beyond the traditional 20-minute paper panels, such as roundtables, multi-speaker panels, digital posters, lightning talks, installations, and performances.
ACH 2021 submissions will undergo double-blind peer review. Please remove all identifying information from your proposal submission including author name and affiliation. For questions and concerns about the CFP, conference program, submissions, Code of Conduct, or accessibility, please contact the program committee co-chairs: Lorena Gauthereau and Tanya Clement (ach2021 [at] ach [dot] org).
