by Paul Barrett 31 May '26

31 May '26

Dear CSDH / SCHN members, We're looking forward to seeing you at next week's conference! In the meantime, we have our election. The election link has been sent to everyone who is an active, paid member of the society. If you're planning to join the society (please do!) before the conference, please contact me once you've joined and I will forward you a link to your ballot. You can join here: https://csdh-schn.ca/about-csdh-schn/membership/ We had a call for three positions this year. The positions of Secretary and VP Francophone received only one application each so those candidates are elected by acclamation. Our new Secretary is Dr. Moni Razavi and our new VP Francophone is Dr. Margot Mellet. Welcome Moni and Margot! We have two candidates for the position of Communications Officer, Augustine Farinola and Davide Pafumi. Thank you Augustine and Davide for putting your names forward! Augustine and Davide's bios are: Augustine Farinola I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Digital Humanities at the University of Alberta, working under the supervision of Prof. Geoffrey Rockwell. My work sits at the intersection of Digital Humanities, AI ethics, and public-facing digital scholarship. I have experience in research communication, digital project development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community engagement through Voyant Consortium and many other Digital Humanities projects. I would be honoured to contribute to CSDH/SCHN as Communications Officer by supporting the society’s communication, outreach, and member engagement activities. Davide Pafumi I am currently a PhD candidate in Digital Humanities at the University of Lethbridge, with plans to defend by the end of this summer. I have been a member of CSDH for 4 years, and I would be honoured to contribute to its work by bringing a certain leadership experience I have gained across several academic and professional bodies across multiple years. As Communications and Grievance Officer and, currently, President of the union representing academically employed graduate students at the University of Lethbridge, I have worked in advocacy as well as communication roles, directing communication to a diverse membership. My service on the Council of the Medieval Association of the Pacific (a regional scholarly association supporting the study of medieval cultures) and on the Advisory Board of the North American Branch of the International Courtly Literature Society (the most influential scholarly group in the field of courtly love studies), where I represent junior scholars across the United States and Canada, has given me a strong understanding of how scholarly associations operate and what their members need from institutional communications. I also serve on the Executive Board of the Postgraduate Committee of Digital Medievalist (an international community for scholars working at the intersection of medieval studies and digital humanities). In this role, I have co-hosted Coding Codices, the organisation’s official podcast, and worked collaboratively with the committee to develop and deliver training opportunities that support postgraduate and early-career researchers in building digital skills and engaging with emerging methods in the field. --- Each member of the society will receive a link to vote for their preferred candidate. Please do so in the next few days — the election closes June 2nd, 5pm EST. Thank you, Paul Barrett Paul Barrett Associate Professor School of Theatre, English and Creative Writing / Culture and Technology Studies University of Guelph MacKinnon 447

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.

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.
