Dear CSDH/SCHN community members, Please find below the Call for Nominations for the 2026 CSDH/SCHN Outstanding Early Career Award. We eagerly await your nominations! Please also find the call for nominations online in French<https://csdh-schn.ca/appel-a-candidatures-pour-le-prix-csdh-schn-debut-de-c…> and in English<https://csdh-schn.ca/call-for-nominations-for-csdh-schn-outstanding-early-c…> on the CSDH/SCHN website for your convenience. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you'd like to chat about nominating a colleague or community member. Please help us spread the word; the deadline for nominations is April 15, 2026. Thank you! All my Best, Julia Call for Nominations for CSDH/SCHN Outstanding Early Career Award Le francais suit The CSDH/SCHN Outstanding Early Career Award recognizes exemplary scholarly work by a Canadian or permanent resident researcher or a researcher at a Canadian institution during the early stage of their career. Early career, in this context, usually extends from the later stages of doctoral work to up to 10 years since completion of PhD or other terminal degree. The recipient need not be affiliated with an institution. The recipient will be invited to accept the award at the annual conference at Congress, which will be held in Montreal in June. The recipient will be invited to deliver a plenary address at the conference held the following year. This award is typically given to an early-career scholar whose work relates to any area of the digital humanities, broadly conceived, whether theoretical, critical, applied, or in the areas of community building and/or research creation. Evidence of scholarship may take the form of print or online publications, a design portfolio, fabrications, artworks or other creative works, prototypes or tools, or a production system. Work produced by a member of a larger collaborative team may be considered for this award; in such a case, the nomination should include a letter from the leader of the team (which may be the nominee her or himself) explaining the nature of the nominee’s contribution to the team activities. The award will be given for work that, in the opinion of the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee, constitutes a significant contribution to the field. The committee particularly invites nominations for scholars belonging to underrepresented groups, including Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, and/or disabled persons. Nominations of up to 500 words must be submitted by April 15, 2026. Only current members of CSDH/SCHN are eligible to submit nominations. Nominations must be sent by email to the Chair of the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee (jpolyckoneill(a)mun.ca) The Awards Committee will compile a short list and confirm with nominees whether they are willing to be considered. We will then request the submission of supporting material (CV, letters of support, and access to contributions or projects if not readily accessible) in May 2026. Adjudication of the award will be conducted by the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee (Julia Polyck-O’Neill, Emily Murphy, and Kim Martin), who may consult the CSDH/SCHN Executive or external members of the community for assistance in evaluating applications. Selection will be made by the end of May 2026. An announcement will be made in spring 2026, along with the release of the 2026 CSDH/SCHN conference program. Appel à candidatures pour le prix CSDH/SCHN - Début de carrière exceptionnelle Le prix CSDH/SCHN - Début de carrière exceptionnelle vise à reconnaitre la contribution exceptionnelle d’un(e) chercheur(se) canadien(ne) ou d’un(e) résident(e) permanent(e) ou un(e) chercheur(se) dans un établissement canadien pendant le début de sa carrière. Pour être admissibles, les candidats doivent avoir obtenu leur doctorat ou d'un autre diplôme terminal depuis moins de 10 ans. Les candidats n’ont pas à être affiliés à une institution. Le lauréat sera invité à recevoir le prix lors du congrès annuel qui se tiendra à Montréal en juin. Il sera également invité à prononcer un discours en séance plénière lors du congrès de l'année suivante. Ce prix est généralement accordé à un(e) chercheur(se) en début de carrière dont les travaux s’inscrivent dans le domaine des humanités numériques, ce qui inclut les travaux de nature théorique, critique, appliquée ou cherchant à contribuer au développement de la communauté de chercheurs(ses) dans le domaine des humanités numériques ou/et la recherche-creation. Les réalisations des candidats peuvent prendre la forme de publications (papiers ou numériques), de portfolio, d’ œuvres d'art ou autres créations artistiques, de conceptions de prototypes ou d’applications, de systèmes de production. Les travaux réalisés en collaboration au sein d’une équipe de recherche seront considérés pour ce prix. Dans ce cas, le dossier de candidature doit inclure une lettre du responsable de l'équipe (qui peut être le candidat lui-même) expliquant la nature de la contribution du candidat aux activités de l'équipe. Le prix sera décerné pour des travaux qui, de l'avis du Comité des prix SCHN/CSDH, constituent une contribution significative dans le domaine des humanités numériques. Le comité invite particulièrement les candidatures d'universitaires appartenant à des groupes sous-représentés, notamment les personnes noires, autochtones, de couleur, 2SLGBTQI+, ou/et les personnes handicapées. Les mises en candidatures, d’un maximum de 500 mots, doivent être soumises au plus tard le 15 avril 2026. Seuls les membres actuels de la SCHN sont autorisés à soumettre des candidatures. Les candidatures doivent être envoyées par courriel au président du Comité des prix CSDH/SCHN (jpolyckoneill(a)mun.ca) Le Comité des prix dressera une liste restreinte de candidats, confirmera avec les candidats retenus s’ils acceptent leur nomination et, le cas échéant, leur demandera de transmettre tous les documents nécessaires à l’évaluation de leur dossier de candidature (curriculum vitae, lettres d’appui, accès aux réalisations, lorsque celles-ci ne sont pas facilement accessibles) au plus tard le mai 2026. Le choix du(de la) lauréat(e) sera effectué par le Comité des prix CSDH/SCHN (Julia Polyck-O’Neill, Emily Murphy, et Kim Martin), qui pourra consulter au besoin les membres du Comité exécutif de la SCHN ou les membres externes de la communauté. Le choix du(de la) lauréat(e) sera effectué au plus tard à la fin de mai 2026. Une annonce sera diffusée au printemps 2026 et sera accompagnée de la sortie du programme de la conférence de la SCHN 2026.

Rest as Resistance in Distressing Times: Embodied Digital Humanities for Collective Liberation Abstract: In an era defined by constant connectivity, crisis fatigue, and emotional overload, rest has become both a personal necessity and a political act. This keynote explores rest as a form of “emotional technology” — a set of practices that support regulation, creativity, and collective resilience. Drawing from film scoring, community facilitation, and healing-centered pedagogy, TIKA examines how rest, creativity, and digital culture intersect. She invites participants to consider how creative practice can move beyond productivity and performance toward sustainability, nervous-system literacy, and collective care. This talk offers a framework for understanding rest not as disengagement, but as a tool for imagination, resistance, and future-building within digital humanities and beyond. TIKA’s keynote will take place the first evening of the workshops. All are welcome to attend this free talk. Register for the keynote here<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/tika-rest-as-resistance-in-distressing-times-dh…>. Registering for the workshops will automatically register you for this free, open talk.
