Dear EADH and Associate Organization Members, The nomination period for EADH Elections is officially open. We are currently seeking four (4) new members to join our Executive Committee. This is an exciting opportunity to actively contribute to the development of a newly relaunched EADH from 2025-2028! When does the nomination and election period open and close? The nomination period opens on 1 May 2025 and closes on 28 May 2025. The Elections will be held from 5 June 2025 to 2 July 2025. Elected EADH Executive Committee Members will be announced when the election period ends, and formally inducted in July 2025 during the General Meeting of EADH Members at the ADHO (DH) Conference in Lisboa, Portugal. More information about the conference can be found here: https://dh2025.adho.org/ What does an EADH Executive Committee Member do? Members of the Executive Committee regularly support EADH by acting in a number of roles, including by serving on the ADHO Constituent Organization Board and the yearly Programme Committee for the ADHO conference, by lobbying the European Commission for more funding through representation in the European Alliance of Social Science and Humanities (EASSH) organization, etc. We also have members who take on the responsibility for distributing bursaries and other funded awards to members of our community. Any member who wants to take action on their own initiative relevant to their interests and the goal of EADH is welcome to propose new lines of action. The work of EADH is supported by infrastructure run and maintained by the EADH exec, and is informed by a series of close relationships with our Associate Organizations (AIUCD [Associazone Informatica Umanistica e Cultura Digitale], CzADH [Czech Association for Digital Humanities], DHd [Association for Digital Humanities in the German Speaking Countries], and DHNB [Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries]). Executive Committee Members shape and execute this work on behalf of the organization. What is the time commitment for this position? We expect EADH Executive Committee Members to take an active part in our organization by serving in a variety of specific roles, which can include (but are not limited to) our Small Grants Committee, Outreach Committee, Infrastructure Committee, Governance Committee, and Elections Committee. These committees are cyclical, meaning that at certain times they become more active and at other times of the year they can be dormant. Normally, the Executive Committee holds monthly online all-hands 1.5 hour meetings to update each other on progress within specific committees, and we also have designated, smaller group meetings to work within these committees when they are active. At times of the year when we are planning workshops, seminars and conferences, Executive Committee members from relevant subcommittees can spend ca. 5 hours per week working communally on EADH business. Executive Committee members also have a Mid Term meeting once per year which is typically a one to two day in-person event, and we also organize an in-person General Meeting each summer at the ADHO Conference that lasts ca. 1.5 hours. The attendance of all Executive Committee Members at the Midterm Meeting is funded by EADH, and the attendance of the Officers (Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, etc.) at the ADHO General Meeting is funded by EADH.

Conference "Hermeneutica in Practice: Honoring the Work and Legacy of Stéfan Sinclair" (10-12/9/25 @ Montreal)
by Michael Eberle Sinatra 28 Apr '25

28 Apr '25

[apologies for cross-posting] The Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur les humanités numériques (CRIHN<http://crihn.org/>) is very proud to announce a call for papers for: "Hermeneutica in Practice: Honoring the Work and Legacy of Stéfan Sinclair – A Conference on Text Analysis, Tool Building, and Critical Digital Humanities" Université de Montréal, September 10th-12th 2025 Plenary spearkers: Servanne Monjour (Sorbonne Université) and Lauren Tilton (Richmond University) We welcome submissions of papers, panels, and tool demonstrations for a bilingual conference dedicated to examining and building on the scholarly contributions of Stéfan Sinclair (1972–2020), a leading figure in the field of digital humanities in Canada and internationally. Stéfan Sinclair’s innovative work in text analysis, digital tool development, and critical infrastructure design played a foundational role in shaping methodologies and pedagogical approaches that continue to influence scholars across disciplines. This conference will provide a forum for academic exchange and critical reflection on the legacy of Sinclair’s work, while fostering new directions in the theory and practice of digital humanities in alignment with the collaborative and interdisciplinary ethos that characterized his career. Conference Themes: This event explores the rich intersections of text analysis, critical infrastructure, interpretive tools, and collaborative scholarship that defined Sinclair’s career. We welcome proposals that engage with his legacy in theory and practice, including but not limited to: - Text Analysis as Interpretation: Inspired by Hermeneutica and Voyant, how can we reconceive text analysis as a form of critical reading? What new directions are emerging in computational literary studies? - Tool Building and Humanities Infrastructure: Sinclair’s work embodied a commitment to building accessible, user-focused tools. What role does tool development play in shaping scholarly practice? How do we sustain and reflect on our infrastructures? - Interface and Visualization Design for the Humanities: How do we make meaning through interface? How do visualizations support and challenge interpretive acts in cultural heritage and literary studies? - Collaborative Praxis: Sinclair’s method was always collaborative—technically, intellectually, and pedagogically. We invite contributions that reflect on or exemplify this mode of working: co-authorship, co-building, co-teaching. - Pedagogy and Programming for Humanists: From « The Art of Literary Text Analysis » to his CFI-funded lab « SHAVLAB », Sinclair reimagined how humanists could learn, teach, and play with code. What are the most compelling approaches to teaching digital methods today? - Digital Humanities and Sustainability: How does the perennity of Voyant speak to issues of sustainability in the field more generally, including environmental challenges, and scholarly stewardship? - History and Future of Digital Humanities: How do we situate Sinclair’s contributions within the broader development of DH as a field? What are the paths forward? We especially encourage proposals that directly engage with or build upon tools and projects Sinclair helped bring to life, including Voyant, HyperPo, TAPoR, CWRC, and LINCS, and others. Presentation Formats: - 20-minute papers - Posters - Hands-on tool demonstrations Submission Details: - Please submit a 500-word abstract along with a short bio (100 words) as a PDF to crihunum(a)gmail.com with the subject “Sinclair Conference” by 15 June 2025. Conference Dates: September 10–12, 2025 Abstract submission: June 15, 2025 Results announced: June 30 2025 Program unveiled: July 10, 2025 Conference Organizing Committee: Michael Sinatra (Université de Montréal), Stéphanie Posthumus (McGill University), Geoffrey Rockwell (University of Alberta), Susan Brown (University of Guelph), Diane Jakacki (Bucknell University), Emmanuel Château-Dutier (Université de Montréal), and Marcello Vitali-Rosati (Université de Montréal) <https://crihn.openum.ca/nouvelles/2025/04/13/colloque-crihn-2025-en-honneur…> [05C3B78A-84C3-4BC9-94BA-D37CC44545F7-225x225.jpeg] Colloque CRIHN 2025 en l’honneur de Stéfan Sinclair<https://crihn.openum.ca/nouvelles/2025/04/13/colloque-crihn-2025-en-honneur…> crihn.openum.ca<https://crihn.openum.ca/nouvelles/2025/04/13/colloque-crihn-2025-en-honneur…> Michael E.

Electing new members to the EADH Executive Committee
by Mariangela Distilo 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Dear EADH community, We will shortly be holding a round of elections, and are currently seeking four (4) new members to join our Executive Committee. This is an exciting opportunity to actively contribute to the development of a newly relaunched EADH from 2025-2028! When does the nomination and election period open and close? The nomination period opens on 1 May 2025 and closes on 28 May 2025. The Elections will be held from 5 June 2025 to 2 July 2025. Elected EADH Executive Committee Members will be announced when the election period ends, and formally inducted in July 2025 during the General Meeting of EADH Members at the ADHO (DH) Conference in Lisboa, Portugal. More information about the conference can be found here: https://dh2025.adho.org/ What does an EADH Executive Committee Member do? Members of the Executive Committee regularly support EADH by acting in a number of roles, including by serving on the ADHO Constituent Organization Board and the yearly Programme Committee for the ADHO conference, by lobbying the European Commission for more funding through representation in the European Alliance of Social Science and Humanities (EASSH) organization, etc. We also have members who take on the responsibility for distributing bursaries and other funded awards to members of our community. Any member who wants to take action on their own initiative relevant to their interests and the goal of EADH is welcome to propose new lines of action. The work of EADH is supported by infrastructure run and maintained by the EADH exec, and is informed by a series of close relationships with our Associate Organizations (AIUCD [Associazone Informatica Umanistica e Cultura Digitale], CzADH [Czech Association for Digital Humanities], DHd [Association for Digital Humanities in the German Speaking Countries], and DHNB [Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries]). Executive Committee Members shape and execute this work on behalf of the organization. What is the time commitment for this position? We expect EADH Executive Committee Members to take an active part in our organization by serving in a variety of specific roles, which can include (but are not limited to) our Small Grants Committee, Outreach Committee, Infrastructure Committee, Governance Committee, and Elections Committee. These committees are cyclical, meaning that at certain times they become more active and at other times of the year they can be dormant. Normally, the Executive Committee holds monthly online all-hands 1.5 hour meetings to update each other on progress within specific committees, and we also have designated, smaller group meetings to work within these committees when they are active. At times of the year when we are planning workshops, seminars and conferences, Executive Committee members from relevant subcommittees can spend ca. 5 hours per week working communally on EADH business. Executive Committee members also have a Mid Term meeting once per year which is typically a one to two day in-person event, and we also organize an in-person General Meeting each summer at the ADHO Conference that lasts ca. 1.5 hours. The attendance of all Executive Committee Members at the Midterm Meeting is funded by EADH, and the attendance of the Officers (Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, etc.) at the ADHO General Meeting is funded by EADH. Where attendance in person is not possible, the meetings can be run in a hybrid format. Who is eligible to be an EADH Executive Committee Member? EADH members and members of Associated Organizations of EADH are eligible to become members of the EADH Executive Committee. This means that those wishing to take part in the elections as voters or candidates must be Members in Good Standing (i.e. have paid their membership fees) by 25 April 2025, whether as a direct or joint member of EADH, or through one of its Associate Organizations. You can join EADH or renew your membership here: https://academic.oup.com/dsh/subscribe?login=false. What are we looking for in an EADH Executive Committee Member? We welcome candidates working at every level of professional and educational development and every area in which aspects of DH are practiced, including archives, galleries, libraries, museums, universities, independent scholars, and any other public or private organizations invested in promoting DH activities across Europe. More important than a particular academic or professional degree is a candidate’s willingness to work actively and communicate openly with and for our community. How do nominations work? Potential candidates can self-nominate with the support of two current members of EADH.* These members (the proposers) must EACH submit a statement with the name of the person they wish to nominate (the nominee). The names of the proposers and their statements will not be made public. The nominee must also submit a statement of no more than 200 words (excluding links) expressing their willingness to stand for election. Submit this statement along with the names of your two supporting members and their statements to the Chair of the Elections Committee, Ulrike Wuttke ( elections(a)eadh.org) The statements from the proposers and the nominee must be submitted to the Chair of the Elections Committee no later than 28 May 2025. *If you wish to stand for EADH elections in 2025 but do not know two other members of EADH, please be in touch and we can help you to find two supporting members. About EADH EADH is the umbrella organization for researchers interested in Digital Humanities across Europe. We have direct membership options for EADH, as well as membership options for our Associate Organizations (AIUCD [Associazone Informatica Umanistica e Cultura Digitale], CzADH [Czech Association for Digital Humanities], DHd [Association for Digital Humanities in the German Speaking Countries], and DHNB [Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries]). We also collaborate with other European DH organizations, such as our participating organization, Digital Humanities BeNeLUx, and the external UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association. Members of the Executive Committee of EADH coordinate the DH community across Europe through monthly seminars, occasional workshops, and bi-annual conferences. EADH advocates for and supports all of our members in their digital humanities work. Contact Questions about nominations and elections can be directed to Ulrike Wuttke, Chair of the 2025 EADH Elections Committee (elections(a)eadh.org) Questions about membership can be directed to Jan Rybicki, Membership Officer of the 2025 EADH Election Committee (membership(a)eadh.org) Best regards, The EADH Elections committee (Ulrike Wuttke, Jan Rybicki, Valeria Vitale)

[Deadline Extended] 2nd Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases (June 10 2025, Pisa, Italy - co-located with HHAI25) - Call for Abstracts
by c.natali6＠campus.unimib.it 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call) -------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25) June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person) https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home -------------------------------------------------- **Workshop Overview** Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight. Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight. This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design. Keynote speakers include: • Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI. • Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments. **Topics of Interest** We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to: • Design principles for cognitive engagement • Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading • Ethical and governance perspectives on Friction-in-Design • Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond. **Submission Details** • Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words) • Format: CEURART-WS (see workshop website for template) • Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025 • Proceedings: All accepted papers will be published in the HHAI 2025 Workshop Proceedings on CEUR-WS. Authors of accepted contributions are required to attend the workshop in-person and register to the HHAI25 conference (single-day registration soon available, check the conference website for updates: https://hhai-conference.org/2025/) **Important Dates** • Paper Submission Deadline (Extended): April 11, 2025 (AoE) • Notification of Acceptance: May 2, 2025 • Camera-Ready Submission: TBD (authors will be invited to expand their contributions following workshop discussions) • Workshop Date: June 10, 2025 **Beyond the Workshop** Our aim is to foster a research network. Authors from all editions, if desired, will be invited to participate in future initiatives, including knowledge exchanges, collaborative publications, special journal issues, and online lecture series. **Organising & Programme Committee** • Chiara Natali (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy & SUPSI, IDSIA, Switzerland) • Mohammad Naiseh (Bournemouth University, UK) • Brett Frischmann (Villanova University, USA) • Programme Committee: full list available at https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home For more information, visit our website: https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home

Computational Humanities Research 2025 | Call for Papers
by pc＠computational-humanities-research.org 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2025 edition of the Computational Humanities Research Conference (CHR 2025), which will take place on December 9–12, 2025, at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at the University of Luxembourg. In recent years, the arts and humanities have seen a significant increase in the use of computational, statistical, and mathematical approaches. This kind of research is distinguished by its reliance on formal methods and the development of explicit, computational models—ranging from quantitative and statistical techniques to broader computational methods for processing and analyzing data, as well as theoretical reflections on these approaches. Despite the growing prominence of this field, many scholars still struggle to find suitable venues where they can present and publish computational work while maintaining a strong connection to traditional humanities inquiry. This is precisely the gap that the CHR conference seeks to address. More specifically, the conference has two key goals: - Building an inclusive community of researchers who apply computational and quantitative methods to humanities data in all its forms. We see this community as complementary to the broader digital humanities landscape and actively encourage participation from scholars with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities—including those from underrepresented groups, different academic paths, and anyone bringing fresh perspectives to computational humanities. - Promoting good research practices by sharing "research stories." This includes fostering transparency and reproducibility through open code and data, supporting pre-registered research designs to clarify theoretical frameworks and methodologies, and rethinking peer review processes to better accommodate interdisciplinary work that blends computational methods with humanities-driven questions. The deadline for full paper submissions is July 18, 2025. For further details, please consult the full Call for Papers [here.](https://2025.computational-humanities-research.org/cfp/) If you have any questions, special requirements, or concerns, feel free to reach out to the organizers at [[email protected]](https://mailto:[email protected]/) or engage with us on the [Discourse forum](https://discourse.computational-humanities-research.org/). Kind regards, The Programme Chairs: Taylor Arnold Margherita Fantoli Ruben Ros
