CFP: Research Creation, Community Engagement, and Open Social Scholarship
by Jon Bath 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Conference Call for Papers *Research Creation, Community Engagement, and Open Social Scholarship* May 1-3, 2025 Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia Deadline for submissions: January 24 2025 This conference will bring together key practitioners in research creation, open social scholarship, and community engagement to encourage broad and inclusive conversations about centring, empowering, and serving communities through humanities research that focuses on inclusive, generous processes. It will also play host to the 12th Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) Partnership annual gathering. Humanities scholarship is traditionally and problematically disconnected from selfless commitments to creativity and community. However, a number of innovative research approaches work against such conventionally exclusive perceptions and practices. For example, research creation involves the use of artistic practices to ask questions and explore possibilities, to reflect and reveal our world back to ourselves, and to help us imagine ourselves otherwise. Additionally, radical community engagement practices feature researchers who generously, humbly, and respectfully work with and within community-led initiatives instead of leading, guiding, or exclusively determining such projects. Both of these approaches foreground and expand upon open social scholarship practices, which are motivated by a desire to shift our scholarly habits away from insularity, exclusivity, and self-referentiality toward inclusive accessibility. This conference is a bold attempt to imagine a larger framework and community of open researchers, and to productively encourage diverse and innovative communities to engage their collaborative potential toward answering the following questions: ● How do we include and engage more people in creative humanities scholarship that serves their needs and the needs of others? ● In what ways can we offer our critical skills and strengths as academics to community-led initiatives? ● How can different kinds of creative research practices promote collaborative and inclusive ways of understanding each other? Featuring plenary panels focused on research creation and community engagement, paper presentations, research lightning talks, and a showcase of Open Scholarship Award winners, this conference will connect researchers, community members, creative practitioners, teachers, innovators, and unconventional scholars to explore the above questions and more. We invite proposals that address these and other issues pertinent to research in the area, and are open to considering proposals for other types of presentations as well. Proposals should specify whether you are planning for a 20-minute presentation or 5-minute lightning talk, and must contain a title, an abstract (of approximately 250 words, plus list of works cited), and the names, affiliations, and website URLs of presenters. Please send proposals on or before 24 January 2025 using this form: https://forms.gle/hbdbKGvY3aPvzUtr5 *Research Creation, Community Engagement and Open Social Scholarship* is aligned with the Community Cluster of the INKE Partnership (including its support by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council; https://inke.ca ) and generously supported by Acadia University. This event is organized by Jon Saklofske (Acadia) and Jon Bath (U Saskatchewan), co-leads of the INKE Community Cluster ( https://inke.ca/activity-clusters/#community) Please reach out to them with any questions at jon.saklofske(a)acadiau.ca

by Laura Estill 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Hi All, You might have seen my earlier post on the DHSI list—sending to this list, too! Does your institution offer a digital humanities degree program (BA/MA/PhD, etc)? Would you like to put your program literally on the map, that is, the Digital Humanities Course Registry? https://dhcr.clarin-dariah.eu/ If so, you can: 1. Create an account and manage the metadata for your own program here: https://dhcr.clarin-dariah.eu/users/register OR 1. Send me an email (lestill(a)stfx.ca<mailto:[email protected]>) and I’ll send you a form to fill out, then I will upload the information on behalf of your program The benefits of the former (making your own account) include being able to update information and the opportunity to enter individual courses in your degree program at a later date, should you be so inclined. If you have a program that you would like listed from beyond Canada, you can find your national moderator here (https://dhcr.clarin-dariah.eu/national-moderators) or be in touch with the DHCR directly: dhcr-helpdesk(a)clarin-dariah.eu<mailto:[email protected]> Let me know if you have questions!

On behalf of the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities <https://csdh-schn.org/>, we invite all interested parties to submit proposals for the annual conference, hosted at George Brown College in Toronto this summer as part of the 2025 Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities <https://www.federationhss.ca/en/congress2025>. This year's theme for Congress is *Reframing Togetherness* - togetherness and community are fraught concepts, and we welcome papers that think carefully about creative and ethical ways of attending to difference and togetherness within communities and across disciplines. Digital humanities work offers new possibilities for fostering critical forms of difference from ‘traditional’ humanities, and we welcome papers that think about these implications of DH work. Proposals for papers, digital demonstrations, and panels will be accepted until *January 13, 2025* and must be submitted to https://conftool.net/csdh-schn-2025/. You may view the full CFP at our association's website <https://csdh-schn.org/csdh-schn-congress-2025-reframing-togetherness/> or attached in the document below. We hope to see you there! -- Au nom de la Société canadienne des humanités numériques <https://csdh-schn.org/>, nous invitons les partis intéressés à soumettre des propositions pour la conférence annuelle qui se déroulera cet été au Collège George Brown, à Toronto, dans le contexte du Congrès 2025 des sciences humaines <https://www.federationhss.ca/fr/congres2025>. Cette année, le thème du Congrès est *Redessinons le vivre-ensemble* - la communauté et le vivre-ensemble sont des notions tendues, nous apprécierons des présentations qui considèrent les approches éthiques et créatives à ces enjeux dans différents contextes et entre les disciplines. Les humanités numériques offrent de nouvelles possibilités pour promouvoir et nourrir la différence, et désirons que cette rencontre soit un lieu de réflexion sur les implications du travail fait dans notre domaine. Nous accepterons les propositions pour des présentations, tables rondes et démonstrations jusqu’au *13 janvier 2025*. Celles-ci doivent être soumises à https://conftool.net/csdh-schn-2025/.
