CFP: 9th Workshop on Visualization for the Digital Humanities
by Eva Mayr 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, We're happy to announce the call for papers for the VIS4DH workshop co-located with the IEEE VIS Conference in Vienna, Austria! The VIS4DH workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from the fields of visualization and the humanities to discuss new research directions at the intersection of visualization and (digital) humanities research. This year, you can contribute to VIS4DH 2025 in two ways - you can submit to the workshop's Paper track, or you can submit to the Agora track, which calls for provocations, artworks, work in progress, or lab talks. Our call for submissions is open to all fields of the (digital) humanities and social sciences, and to all areas of visualization research and practice. The workshop is intended to put different ways of seeing, knowing, articulating, and transforming arguments into dialogue in order to foster and intensify collaborations between humanities and visualization researchers. While the workshop theme for VIS4DH'25 remains open to all submissions exploring the intersection of the humanities and visualization, we especially invite contributions related to the theme Visualizing Peace and Conflict as a response to the global increase of violence and armed conflict (see https://ucdp.uu.se/encyclopedia) At the same time, however, submissions do not need to focus explicitly on conflict between warring parties. We also encourage submissions related to ideological, civil, social, environmental, or epistemic conflicts and the potential for their resolution to address a broader theme/trend of intensified division worldwide. The topic aims to bring together researchers in international relations, peace & conflict resolution, sociology, anthropology, digital humanities, and visualization to present and discuss how research approaches in these areas can critically inform one another and contribute to new ways of studying conflict and its peaceful resolution. Besides general contributions at the intersection of visualization and (digital) humanities that provide theoretical and/or applied perspectives, with this year's theme, we invite work around (but not limited to) the following questions: * How can visualization techniques make cultural phenomena which are substantially structured or driven by tensions, antagonisms, controversies, or conflicts visible and negotiable? * How can visualization tools be designed to inform or support the resolution of conflicts? * What visual strategies can be employed to highlight how political conflicts frequently translate into representational or interpretive conflicts (e.g., generating contested or conflicting descriptions, datasets, framings, rhetorics, or other design choices)? * What role do disagreements play in collaborative research and visualization processes, and how might those be productively visualized rather than resolved or hidden? Submission Deadlines Paper Track: 30 June 2025, 23:59 AoE Agora Track: 22 August 2025, 23:59 AoE Please, visit the workshop website on https://vis4dh.dbvis.de for more information. The organizing committee looks forward to your contributions and to lively discussions in Vienna Alfie Abdul-Rahman, Mark-Jan Bludau, Eva Mayr, Monika Schwarz, & Tomas Vancisin vis4dh(a)gmail.com _______________ Dr. Eva Mayr Department für Kunst- & Kulturwissenschaften Universität für Weiterbildung Krems www.donau-uni.ac.at/eva.mayr/<http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/eva.mayr/> +43 2732 893 2324

Reminder: Bielefeld guest lectures in Computational Literary Studies/Cultural Studies/Computational Linguistics/Digital Linguistics/Open Science
by Berenike Herrmann 03 Jun '25

03 Jun '25

Dear all, (with apologies for cross-postings), This summer term, the Bielefeld research colloquium “LiLi revisited: Digital Interface Research between Literary Studies and Linguistics" and the Bielefeld “Computational/Digital Linguistics Work Group Meeting” (H. Buschmeier/S. Zarrieß) will another guest lecture that I would like to draw your attention to. June 10: Prof. Dr. David Bamman (Berkeley): Measuring Representation and Linguistic Variation in Hollywood The lecture is public and can be attended in person and via zoom. The talk will not be recorded. David Bamman (Berkeley) Measuring Representation and Linguistic Variation in Hollywood Movies are a massively popular and influential form of media, but their computational study at scale has largely been limited due to the availability of data. In this talk, I'll discuss our efforts to build a collection of 2,307 films representing the top 50 movies by U.S. box office over the period 1980 to 2022, along with award nominees. Building this collection allows us to carry out several large-scale computational studies of film; I'll discuss our work measuring changing patterns in the representation of gender and race/ethnicity over the past 43 years (where we see an increase in diversity over the past decade) and in leveraging it to model variation in emotional performances and choice of adverbial intensifiers over both narrative and historical time. This work illustrates a new frontier of the data-driven analysis of film at a large scale. When: June 10 2025, 10-12 hs Where: Hybrid. Bielefeld University, Lecture Hall CITEC 1.204 and Zoom Zoom link: https://uni-bielefeld.zoom-x.de/j/64995938421?pwd=VzH0WHjA5I1LaLsGQeB2wJuvB… We are looking forward to a vivid discussion!

Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum (DHd2026) - Call for Papers
by Tara L Andrews 02 Jun '25

02 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, (German version below) I am very pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the DHd2026 conference today! DHd 2026, “Not Only Text, Not Only Data”, annual conference of the Association of Digital Humanities in German-speaking countries, organized by the University of Vienna. 23–27 February 2026. Submission deadline: 1 August 2025 https://dhd2026.digitalhumanities.de/ Both digitization of cultural heritage and abstract information modeling have, in recent years, significantly expanded the breadth of potential research in the humanities. The initial source of this expansion was primarily the creation of textual corpora and the development of algorithms and interfaces for text analysis. Over time, this has evolved to the point where it now includes the digital capture of virtually all "objects" within the humanities, and their attendant analytical interconnections: individuals, places, material culture, concepts, artworks, spoken interactions, and more. Yet despite the diversity of approaches, ideas, data, and methods in today’s digital humanities, focus often remains on more text-centred projects and data-focused results. We propose addressing the challenges posed by this expansion beyond text and data as the conference motto: not by excluding text-centered approaches but by placing them within a broader context. Disciplines such as art history, archaeology, and museum studies traditionally produce and analyze datasets related to material culture, including climate data, landscape profiles, and image matrices. They also produce analytical data, including human biological data such as genetics, and perception data, like eye-tracking, EEG, fMRT, and so on. However, this data is contextualized by informed integration with further information that completes a historical and contextual picture, necessitating varied data obtained through the analysis of diverse datasets. The conference aims to foster greater consideration of what diverse data means for scholars. Data creation is not the end but rather the very beginning of contemporary projects. Researchers in the digital humanities now frequently find themselves not only producing data but also conceiving of and developing algorithmic frameworks for their analyses, including the use of machine learning techniques recently mostly discussed under the label of Artificial Intelligence. Both the data itself and the approach taken are equally vital: data often lose much of their value when divorced from the methods used for both their creation and analysis. This aspect of knowledge production – the creation of methods and functions – has yet to receive sufficient attention in terms of their reuse and replication within the digital humanities. The lack of clear standards and best practices in this regard remain a fundamental challenge in digital humanities research. The same applies to preservation of interfaces and scripts of all kinds. Here too, it is essential to intensify cross-disciplinary dialogue. Code and algorithms each play a role that is as crucial for interdisciplinary dialogue with other fields of study (from computer science to social sciences) as academic prose. Other disciplines can only understand humanities data if they comprehend interpretations, which, in turn, depends on how they are processed. Hence, the development, preservation, and informed discussion of code are core components, if not prerequisites, for interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and cross-disciplinary engagement. The conference aims to create a productive space for encounters and discussions to explore these issues. Panels, presentations, workshops, and poster sessions will bring together experts from the fields of data science, digital cultural heritage research, and digital archival studies with representatives from the more text- and language-oriented digital humanities. We look forward to providing a venue for discussion and deliberation to foster discourse on code and algorithms, databases and archives, and text and data, and how these things positively push the boundaries of our research in the humanities. We invite contributions to interdisciplinary research that combines the humanities with computational methods and digital technologies, including but not limited to: Use of digital tools and resources to study humanities disciplines, including history, literature, art, and cultural studies Exploration of the impact of technology on humanities research and teaching Best practices around programming and software development in the humanities Reuse and adaptation of existing datasets and algorithms for new research directions Studies concerning the replicability of previously obtained research results Sustainability and preservation of both data and research processes; how does data stewardship engage with algorithms? Current and developing best practices for work with non-textual as well as textual digital cultural heritage (Not) reinventing the wheel: what to do about pre-processing scripts Data Studies and the transferability of data and algorithms across disciplines Libraries as mediators of heterogeneous data and/or software tools in DH: enabling access, integration, and reuse beyond text- and data-centric approaches Photogrammetry and modelling of cultural heritage spaces Soundscapes, music, and audio in the digital humanities Multimedia and game studies for the humanities Ethics and sustainability of LLMs The detailed call, including submission modalities, can be found on the conference website: https://dhd2026.digitalhumanities.de/ where other important information about the conference will also soon follow! Any questions may be addressed to the organisation team at dhd2026(a)univie.ac.at <mailto:[email protected]>. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Vienna! * * * Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, mit großer Freude eröffne ich heute den Call for Papers für die DHd2026-Konferenz! DHd 2025, „Nicht nur Text, nicht nur Daten“, Jahrestagung des Verbandes Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum, ausgerichtet von der Universität Wien 23–27 Feber 2026. Einreichungsfrist: 1. August 2025 Zahlreiche geisteswissenschaftliche Disziplinen haben in den vergangenen Jahren durch digitale Erfassung kultureller Erzeugnisse und abstrakte Modellierung von Information die Grundlage ihrer Erkenntnisarbeit signifikant erweitert. Ausgangspunkt dafür war vor allem die Erstellung von Textkorpora, Entwicklung von Algorithmen und Interfaces für die Analyse von Texten. Nach und nach hat eine Erweiterung des Feldes stattgefunden, so dass inzwischen vermutlich sämtliche “Objekte” der Geisteswissenschaften digital erfasst und zunehmend miteinander analytisch verknüpft werden können: Personen, Orte, Objekte der materiellen Kultur, Begriffe, Kunstwerke, sprachliche Interaktionen etc. Wir schlagen vor, die Herausforderungen, die sich aus dieser Erweiterung über Text und Daten hinaus ergeben, als Motto der Konferenz aufzugreifen: nicht indem wir textzentrierte Ansätze ausschließen, sondern indem wir sie in einen breiteren Kontext stellen. Fächer wie Kunstgeschichte, Archäologie und Museumswissenschaft produzieren und analysieren traditionell Datenbestände aus dem Bereich der materiellen Kultur – Klimadaten, Landschaftsprofile oder Bildraster, aber auch materialanalytische Daten, bis hin zu humanbiologischen Daten (Genetik, aber auch solchen der Perzeption: Eye-Tracking, EEG, fMRT, etc.). Erst die informierte Zusammenschau mit hermeneutisch gewonnener Erkenntnis rundet ein aus Kontext erzeugtes historisches Bild ab, das zunehmend aus der Analyse unterschiedlich gearteter Datenbestände gewonnen wird. Datenerzeugung steht aber nicht am Ende, sondern vielmehr am Anfang zeitgemäßer Projekte. So finden sich digital arbeitende Geisteswissenschafter*innen immer häufiger in der Situation, nicht nur Daten zu produzieren, sondern auch ein adäquates algorithmisches Rahmenwerk für ihre Analyse zu konzipieren und zu entwickeln. Das schließt den Gebrauch von Techniken des maschinellen Lernens ein, die zuletzt meist unter dem Label der „Künstliche Intelligenz“ diskutiert wurden. Tatsächlich verlieren Daten oft viel an Wert, wenn die algorithmischen Methoden nicht gemeinsam mit ihnen aufbewahrt und gepflegt werden. Dieser Aspekt der Wissensproduktion in Form von Methoden und Funktionen hat bisher in den Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften nicht die nötige Aufmerksamkeit im Hinblick auf Nachnutzung und Replikation erhalten. Der Mangel an klaren Standards bzw. Best Practices stellt jedoch ein fundamentales Problem digitaler Forschung dar. Dasselbe gilt für Interfaces und Skripts jeder Art. Auch hier gilt es, den Dialog mit den einschlägigen Fachrichtungen zu intensivieren. Code und Algorithmen erfüllen eine Rolle, die nicht weniger wichtig für den transdisziplinären Dialog mit anderen Fachdisziplinen (von der Informatik bis zu den Sozialwissenschaften) ist als die wissenschaftliche Prosa: Solch andere Disziplinen können geisteswissenschaftliche Daten nur dann verstehen, wenn sie nachvollziehen, wie diese interpretiert werden, was wiederum davon abhängt, wie sie prozessiert werden. Insofern ist die Entwicklung, Erhaltung und informierte Diskussion von Code ein zentraler Bestandteil, wenn nicht eigentlich sogar Voraussetzung, transdisziplinärer Auseinandersetzung. Die Konferenz möchte einen Begegnungs- und Diskussionsraum zur Erörterung dieser Fragen eröffnen. Panels, Vorträge, Workshops und Poster-Sessions bringen Expert*innen aus den Datenwissenschaften, der digitalen Kulturerbeforschung und Archivwissenschaft zusammen mit Vertreter*innen der traditionellen, text- und sprachorientierten DH. Wir freuen uns darauf, einen Ort für Austausch und Reflexion zu schaffen, in dem über Code und Algorithmen, Datenbanken und Archive, Text und Daten nachgedacht wird – und darüber, wie diese Themen die Grenzen der geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschung im positiven Sinn verschieben können. Wir laden zu Beiträgen zur interdisziplinären Forschungsdebatte ein, die Geisteswissenschaften mit computergestützten Methoden und digitalen Technologien verbinden, darunter unter anderem: Einsatz digitaler Tools und Ressourcen zum Studium geisteswissenschaftlicher Disziplinen, darunter Geschichte, Literatur, Kunst und Kulturwissenschaften Untersuchung der Auswirkungen von Technologie auf die geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung und Lehre Praktiken bzw. Best Practices rund um Programmierung und Softwareentwicklung in den Geisteswissenschaften Wiederverwendung und Anpassung bestehender Datensätze bzw. Algorithmen für neue Forschungsrichtungen Studien zur Replizierbarkeit bereits erzielter Forschungsergebnisse Nachhaltigkeit und Aufbewahrung sowohl von Daten als auch von Forschungsprozessen; wie greift Datenverwaltung in Algorithmen ein? Aktuelle und sich entwickelnde Best Practices für die Arbeit mit nicht-textuellen sowie textuellen digitalen Kulturgütern Das Rad (nicht) neu erfinden: Was tun mit Vorverarbeitungsskripten? Data Studies und die Übertragbarkeit von Daten und Algorithmen zwischen Disziplinen Bibliotheken als Vermittler heterogener Daten und/oder Software-Tools in den Digital Humanities: Zugang, Integration und Wiederverwendung über text- und datenzentrierte Ansätze hinaus ermöglichen Fotogrammetrie und Modellierung von Räumen des kulturellen Erbes Soundscapes, Musik und Audio in den Digital Humanities Multimedia- und Game Studies für die Geisteswissenschaften Ethik und Nachhaltigkeit von LLMs Der vollständige Call einschließlich Einreichungsmodalitäten finden Sie auf der Website der Konferenz: https://dhd2026.digitalhumanities.de/. Dort werden in Kürze auch weitere wichtige Informationen zur Konferenz veröffentlicht. Bei Fragen wenden Sie sich bitte an das Organisationsteam unter dhd2026(a)univie.ac.at <mailto:[email protected]>. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie in Wien begrüßen zu dürfen!

Dear DH community, We are excited to invite you to join the data challenge “Let’s Make a Cinephile Search Tool!”, organized by the Data Competence Center HERMES! Are you passionate about film, media, and data innovation? We invite you to take part in the data challenge “Let’s Make a Cinephile Search Tool!”— a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of AI, cultural heritage, and audiovisual archives. In this second edition of our data challenge, you'll work with 40 hours of real-world moving image data published by leading German and Dutch institutions. Your mission? Develop a discovery tool that enables multimodal search across 40 hours of public domain video content — not just using metadata, but also analyzing the visual and audio features of the footage. Your tool might detect shot types, identify objects and actions, or even find scenes that visually resemble an input image. You can integrate all of your developed features into a chatbot capable of handling complex prompts to perform multimodal searches across the dataset and return relevant results. This is your chance to create something impactful for scholars, researchers, and film enthusiasts — and push the boundaries of digital cultural access. Don’t worry if you don’t have a team yet! At the kickoff, we’ll help match participants from different disciplines. The attending teams or single individuals should ideally have expertise in both data science and film/media studies. Kickoff: 23 May 2025, 4:00 PM (CET) Registration Deadline: 31 May 2025, 11:59 PM Ready to take part?

The University of Tartu, founded in 1632, ranks among the top 1% of the world’s most cited universities and actively fosters sustainability and intersectoral collaboration, having produced numerous successful startups. Estonia itself ranks #1 in startups per capita in Europe. As a member of the EU and NATO, Estonia is internationally minded, and English is widely spoken. Estonia’s digital infrastructure streamlines official procedures, as everything from contracts to taxes can all be handled online in minutes by citizens and residents alike. Tartu is a lively university town known for its cozy atmosphere, vibrant student life, bike and walking friendly spaces, and scenic riverside. It has been named the UNESCO City of Literature, and the European Capital of Culture in 2024. The city is well connected to Europe and the world, but also offers easy access to nature, with nearby vast networks of forest hiking trails, excellent winter sports opportunities, and the charm of four distinct seasons.

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.

[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
