To mark the occasion of its launch and first annual event, the UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association invites proposals for 20-minute papers and 5-minute lightning talks.

While DH has developed successfully in the UK and Ireland, with the establishment of world-leading centres in both countries, there are major opportunities for further development and innovation in the field by bringing together their complementary strengths. Seeking to nurture the capacity for excellent research and teaching in DH, to establish and sustain more effective connections with non-HE sectors (notably Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums as well as the creative industries), and to create new pathways for collaboration, the UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association will build a collaborative vision for the field, and create new and sustainable long-term partnerships in alignment with the international community.

The themes of the first annual event will reflect the Core Values of the Association, and we particularly welcome proposals that address one or more of these values, and/or their intersections with research and teaching in Digital Humanities:

• Inclusivity
• Community
• Collaboration
• Sustainability
• Openness and transparency
• Advocacy and action

Submission Guidelines

Proposals should be no longer than 300 words and you should indicate whether you wish to give a 20-minute paper or a 5-minute lightning talk. Please indicate whether you would be willing to consider giving a lightning talk if we are unable to accept your proposal as a paper.

Notification of acceptance: By Monday 15 May

Review process: Each proposal reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers using the double-blind peer review process.
