Dear Colleagues:

We're very excited to invite proposals for Digitorium 2019
(https://apps.lib.ua.edu/blogs/digitorium/), a multi-disciplinary
Digital Humanities conference held at the University of Alabama from
October 10-12, 2019. We seek proposals from a range of people including
those who are brand new in the field of Digital Humanities, experienced
scholars, and anybody in-between to create an inclusive environment
where everybody can learn something from each other. Proposals should
demonstrate how we as digital humanists can engage with communities and
our scholarship in new and innovative ways.

Full link to the CFP can be found here,
(https://apps.lib.ua.edu/blogs/digitorium/cfp/) and abstracts are due by
March 31, 2019.

Best,

Anne Ladyem McDivitt, PhD

Recovery from the Margins: A Digital Poster Session

Well-funded digital archives have energized the field of scholarly editing,
yet the recovery of texts by women and people of color has suffered
setbacks since the 1990s; in effect, the revitalization of marginal figures
has been hampered by a canon that privileges particular genres over "messy"
texts, scholarly rationales and digital encoding predicated on a model of
single-author agency and the existence of multiple versions of a single
text, and granting agencies that favor large-scale initiatives. The
Committee on Scholarly Editions solicits presentations for a digital poster
session on digital recovery efforts of rare or marginal texts, texts by
women and people of color, texts that dislodge the single author model, and
the exploration of the ways in which scholarly editions can avoid
replicating colonization/marginalization.

300-word abstracts and bio(s) welcome by 15 March to Noelle Baker 
(noelle.baker@me.com).
