The theme of the 2020 conference is “Carrefours/Intersections,” a place where roads or streets meet. We specifically invite proposals that relate to our sub-disciplinary conference interests: First Nations, Native American, and Indigenous Studies; public digital humanities; and the open data movement. We welcome all who identify themselves as working in the broad variety of disciplines, methodologies, and pedagogies that the digital humanities encompasses.
Submissions may include:
- Posters (abstract 250-500 words)
- Lightning talks (5 minutes; abstract 200-250 words)
- Short presentations (10 minutes; abstract 250-500 words)
- Long presentations (20 minutes; abstract 750-1000 words)
- Panels (90 minutes; abstract 250 words + 300-500 word overview)
- Forums (90 minutes; abstract 500 words)
- Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (2 hours or 4 hours; 250-word overview plus syllabus and/or relevant existing tutorials)
All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the appropriate literatures. Citations are not to be included in the word count. Please consult the detailed requirements for each submission type as well as submission guidelines. SIG groups will be holding topical pre-conference meetings that will undergo separate review via SIG organizers. Please contact SIG organizers before submitting a workshop or tutorial proposal on a duplicative SIG topic.
Representing the conference theme, DH2020 will use the open peer review process, which requires submitter and reviewer identities to be disclosed. Reviews will remain confidential to the submitter, reviewers, and the members of the Program Committee.
Submissions will be evaluated based on:
- Overall organization and clarity of proposed submission (20%)
- Explicit engagement with relevant scholarship, with references and justifications displaying knowledge of the current state of appropriate fields (30%)
- Thematic relevance to “carrefours/intersection”; Native American, Indigenous, and First Nations Studies; public digital humanities; or the open data movement (10%)
- Clear theoretical, methodological, or pedagogical framework and explicit statement of purpose (20%)
- Applicability, significance, and value of the theoretical, methodological, and/or practical contribution to the digital humanities generally (20%)
The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is dedicated to creating a safe, respectful, and collegial conference environment for the benefit of everyone who attends and for the advancement of research and scholarship in fields supported by our constituent organizations. All authors and attendees are expected to abide by the Code of Conduct. Reviewers will be asked to follow the guidelines for reviewers.
