Subject: CFP: Open, Digital, Collaborative Project Preservation in the Humanities
Open digital collaborative scholarship in the Arts and Humanities is
significant for facilitating public access to and engagement with
research, and as a mechanism of growing the digital scholarly
infrastructure. But the path to adopting open, collaborative, digital
scholarship has been challenging, not least of all due to questions of
economic stability, infrastructure, access, understanding,
implementation, and engagement.
The advent of online technologies has provided Arts and Humanities
researchers with greater opportunities to collaborate and create
different projects. These projects are computationally robust and
require a significant amount of collaboration, which brings together
different types of expertise to collaborate on equal terms rather than a
model where some sets of expertise are in service to others.
The convenience and familiarity of computational methods can make us
forget (or overlook) that there is a certain fragility associated with
our online tools. Kathleen Fitzpatrick has argued that many online
projects in the digital humanities have an implied planned
obsolesce—which means that they will degrade over time once they cease
to receive updates in their content and software libraries (Planned
Obsolescence, NYU Press, 2011). In turn, this planned obsolescence
threatens the completeness and the sustainability of our research
outputs in the Arts and Humanities over time, presenting a complex
problem made more complex when environments are not static objects but
rather dynamic collaborative spaces.
This virtual conference aims to address the following research questions:
- How can we create viable, sustainable pathways for open, digital
scholarship?
- How can we design, implement, and document the best practices for the
development of open, social, digital projects in the Arts and Humanities?
- How can we amplify the positive aspects of collaboration to magnify
the contribution and streamline the development of digital projects?
- How can we preserve these environments in ways that speak to the needs
of our communities, and are open, collaborative, effective, and sustainable?
Submissions should be sent via email to luis.meneses@viu.ca and are due
by 10 February 2023. They should include the title of the submission,
the name(s) and affiliation(s) of contributor(s), and a 300-word abstract.

colleagues, networks, etc.
Additionally, the Society is currently accepting applications for 2023-2024
research fellowships. *The deadline for our sabbatical, predoctoral, and
postdoctoral fellowship opportunities is January 20, 2023*. Full details
and information on how to apply may be found on the APS website:

Women in Science: Achievements and Barriers
June 8-9, 2023
Inspired by its 2023 exhibition *Women in Science, *the American
Philosophical Society is organizing two international conferences that will
explore the history of women in science, the present state of science and
society, and the opportunities to create a more inclusive and diverse
practice of science. The Society’s first gathering will focus on the themes
“achievements and barriers,” while the second will focus on
“opportunities.” Both conferences aim to examine these themes from
historical, contemporary, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
The program committee is now accepting proposals for the first conference
on “Women in Science: Achievements and Barriers.” The conference will be
held in-person at the Society in Philadelphia on June 8-9, 2023. The
conference will also be livestreamed.
The program committee invites paper proposals from scholars in all fields,
and especially historians, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and
others whose work bears upon this theme.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- The contributions women have made to the advancement of scientific
knowledge throughout time, and the varied forms these accomplishments have
taken
- The barriers that women have faced and continue to face in accessing
scientific knowledge, education, and professional training
- The challenges women have faced and continue to face in achieving full
and equal participation and recognition in scientific endeavors and
research opportunities
- The impact of differences across scientific disciplines on the
experiences of women in science
- The impact of race, disability, class, and other identities on the
experiences of women in science
- The historical efforts taken by individuals, groups, policymakers,
educators, and institutions to reduce barriers, their successes and
failures, and how they continue to influence scientific education and
practice today
- Studies of scientists, cohorts, and intellectual networks that have
affected women’s access to and participation in science
- The ways in which the labor, politics, and economics of scientific
research practices impact women’s roles in science
- The ways in which gendered social roles affect the careers of women in
science
Applicants should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V.
by *January 16, 2023* via Interfolio: https://apply.interfolio.com/117770
All presenters will receive travel subsidies and hotel accommodations.
Accepted papers will be due a month before the conference and
pre-circulated to registered attendees. Papers should be no longer than
15-double spaced pages. Presenters may also have the opportunity to publish
revised papers in the APS’s *Transactions*, one of the longest running
scholarly journals in America.
