*Theme of the Conference: “Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Data”*
The core subject of scholarly inquiry has always been cataloging and
curating the inherited cultural knowledge, as well as contextualising it
in a given time and place. With the exploding number of research objects
and their unprecedented availability from anywhere on the globe,
scholars face a significant challenge when making sense of them on a
suddenly very different scale, resorting to quantitative and
computational methods and in doing so eventually following science,
business, and industry.
Not only the sheer volume of the data, but also their diversity are
challenging the usual computational and quantitative approaches that
call for interoperability and aggregation to work properly -- be it the
inherent diversity of the global cultural heritage, the diversity of
epistemological approaches, the diversity of social agendas that often
permeate scholarly interpretations, or the omnipresent multilingualism.
Furthermore, as the ongoing pandemic shows, the means of data gathering,
data modelling, data analysis, data contextualisation, data
representation, data visualisation and communicating these to the public
are, especially in a time of crisis, in particular need of being
scrutinised critically from humanities and social science perspectives.
In practice, the complex multidisciplinarity of DH often renders
institutional and political decisions difficult, such as the positioning
of chairs / departments at Universities or the standards of an optimum
DH curriculum. It can paralyse efforts to straighten out the usual
underestimation of common DH outputs (databases, software) by national
research evaluation schemes and to have dedicated grant proposal calls
rather than to balance on the periphery of either the traditional
humanities or computer science.
All these challenges, intellectual and mundane alike, have brought about
an exciting range of practices at all levels: institutional, national,
or applicable within a given language community or a particular project
consortium. Let us celebrate this diversity of topics to inspire each
other at the EADH2021 conference in Krasnoyarsk!

*Types of Proposals*
Presentations may include the following types:
*
Posters (abstract minimum 500 – maximum 750 words)
*
Short papers (abstract minimum 750 – maximum 1000 words)
*
Long papers (abstract minimum 1200 – maximum 1500 words)
*
Multiple paper panels (500-word abstracts + 500-word overview)
*
Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal minimum 750 –
maximum 1200 words)
All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the
appropriate literature. Additionally, proposals that concentrate on a
particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as
computer-based approaches to the problem. While footnotes are included
in the word count, citations are not to be included in the word count.
When preparing proposals, proposers should ask themselves whether their
proposal, if accepted, could, if necessary, be presented or given virtually.
*a. Poster Presentations*
Poster proposals may present work on any relevant topic, or offer
project tools or software demonstrations in any stage of development.
Poster presentations are intended to be interactive with the opportunity
to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. Posters are subject to the
same rigorous peer review as other presentation types, and submissions
in this category are strongly encouraged.
*b. Short Papers*
Short paper proposals are intended to be dynamic 10-minute presentations
appropriate for reporting on experiments or works in progress or for
describing tools or software in development. Short paper sessions seek
to open dialogues among scholars working on related topics.
*c. Long Papers*
Proposals for long papers should deal with substantial or completed
research; report the development of significant new methodologies or
digital resources; and present rigorous theoretical, speculative, or
critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for
presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the
development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should
indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the
humanities and what their impact has been in formulating and addressing
research questions. They should also include critical assessments of
their application in the humanities as well as of the computing
methodologies used.
*d. Multiple Paper Panels*
Panels should focus on a single theme and be coherent in presenting a
substantial body of research or a research question. Panel submissions
which do not meet this criterion and which could function as individual
papers will not normally be accepted. A panel should be conceived as a
90-minute session of normally four speakers.
*e. Pre-Conference Workshops*
Workshops are normally either half-day or full-day intensive
introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical
approaches with a small number of participants. Participants in
pre-conference workshops will be expected to register for the full
conference and may be required to pay a small additional fee. Workshop
proposals should provide the following information:
*
Title and brief description of the content or topic and its
relevance to the digital humanities community.
*
Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day;
maximum one-and-a-half days);
*
Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop
leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their
research interests and areas of expertise;
*
Description of target audience and expected number of participants
(based, if possible, on past experience); and
*
Special requirements for technical support.
*
Proposed budget (workshops are expected to be self-financing); and
if the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a
deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of
individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Programme
Committee.
Proposers should explicitly consider how they would teach their workshop
in a hybrid or fully online conference setting.
*Evaluation of Proposals*
All formats are subject to peer review. The format selected should match
the goals of the proposed submission. No difference in scholarly quality
and rigorousness is intended between the formats.
EADH2021 will be using double-blind peer review. To facilitate this
process, *please remove all identifying information from your proposal
submission including author name and affiliation.*
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 (20%)
*
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%)
*
General recommendation (20%)
The committee will not normally accept more than a total of two
submissions from one primary author or co-author. If more than two
submissions considered for acceptance include the name of an individual
presenter or co-presenter, then during the final review phase the chairs
of the program committee will contact that participant and ask them
which submission(s) they will withdraw to avoid exceeding that limit.
To facilitate the production of the conference book of abstracts,
authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved
versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator, available through
ConfTool, which creates not only a TEI text base of conference abstracts
for further processing, but also a html version of the abstract which
can be made available in the website. More information will appear on
the website of the conference.
The conference book of abstracts will not only be sent to the British
Library which keeps a Conference index
<http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?ct=facet&fctN=facet_rtype&fctV=conference_proceedings&rfnGrp=3&rfnGrpCounter=3&rfnGrpCounter=2&fn=search&indx=1&dscnt=0&vid=BLVU1&mode=Basic&ct=facet&srt=title&tab=primo_central&vl(freeText0)=British%20Library%20conference%20index&dstmp=1579739917122>,
but will also be archived in EADH’s open access Zenodo Community
<https://zenodo.org/communities/?p=EADH> where a DOI is automatically
assigned to it.
*III. Bursaries for Early-Career Researchers (ECRs)*
EADH is offering up to 12 travel bursaries of € 400 each to Early-Career
Researchers (ECRs), like graduate or PhD students, postdoc or similar,
who are presenting at the EADH2021 Conference. It is expected that with
the prospect of a hybrid or fully virtual conference the focus of these
bursaries will change. Any change will be announced on the website of
the conference and via social media.
Proposals by applicants for a bursary will be subject to the same
peer-reviewing process as all other conference proposals. Only those
applicants whose proposal has been accepted in the initial review stage
will be considered for the final selection of bursary winners.
If you want to apply for an EADH bursary, please tick the relevant box.
You will then be asked to submit also a short CV and an application
letter (max 1000 words) that should clearly state your motivations for
taking part in the conference and your personal background. Any
information about your situation, that might help with the decision, is
welcome. For more information see the conference website.
*IV. Conference Languages and Multilingualism*
EADH in its activities fosters multilingualism because it is the first
visible level of multiculturalism - that is the appreciation and
recognition that our studies are informed and enriched by the cultures
which feed them and that in all this language is an essential component.
Thus, the approach we want to promote is that of the dialogue of
cultures and languages, not that of giving to any single culture /
language a status of preferred one.
In practical terms, EADH in its 2021 conference accepts abstracts and
presentations in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian.
Please choose one of these languages when you submit your proposal.
All presenters are strongly encouraged to prepare their presentation
*for the conference *in two languages. For inclusivity reasons one of
these languages should be English. Both language versions must be good,
top level slides which allow to fully follow the flow of the thoughts
and arguments developed in the talk. Presenters may either give their
talk in one language and present slides in the second language, or
present the slides in the language of the talk and make the second
version of their slides available on the conference website or via a
handout.
Any other practical actions promoting multilingualism and
multiculturality (including whispering translation, twitter translation,
shared google doc, etc.) are in principle welcome and supported.
Presenters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with /Global
Outlook::Digital Humanities’ Translation Toolkit/ to prepare for a
multilingual conference. This includes guidelines and best practices for
multilingual slides / posters / handouts and ad-hoc community
translation: http://go-dh.github.io/translation-toolkit/conferences/
<http://go-dh.github.io/translation-toolkit/conferences/>
Similarly, participants are strongly encouraged to make themselves aware
of current recommendations for accessibility of presentations and
multimedia-based materials. Please review the /World Wide Web
Consortium’s Web Initiative Guidelines on Presentation Accessibility/:

*VII. Information about the Conference Venue*
EADH2021 is hosted in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, a city of one million people
located next to one of the largest world rivers flowing to the Arctic
Ocean. Siberian Federal University belongs to a group of twenty Russian
universities involved in the Russian Academic Excellence Project aimed
to modernise the Russian higher education. With 26,000 students and over
3,000 faculty members, it has experienced recent infrastructural changes
which resulted in new buildings, recreational parks and other
facilities. Siberian Federal University staged two major national
Digital Humanities conferences in 2015 and 2017. This resulted in
establishing the Russian Association for Digital Humanities which became
the Associate Organisation of the European Association for Digital
Humanities in 2018.
