        Subject: [VIS4DH CfP] 9th Workshop on Visualization for the Digital Humanities

Dear colleagues,

We’re happy to announce the call for papers for the VIS4DH workshop co-located
with the IEEE VIS Conference in Vienna, Austria!

The VIS4DH workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from the
fields of visualization and the humanities to discuss new research directions at
the intersection of visualization and (digital) humanities research.

This year, you can contribute to VIS4DH 2025 in two ways - you can submit to the
workshop’s Paper track, or you can submit to the Agora track, which calls for
provocations, artworks, work in progress, or lab talks. Our call for submissions
is open to all fields of the (digital) humanities and social sciences, and to
all areas of visualization research and practice. The workshop is intended to
put different ways of seeing, knowing, articulating, and transforming arguments
into dialogue in order to foster and intensify collaborations between humanities
and visualization researchers.

While the workshop theme for VIS4DH’25 remains open to all submissions exploring
the intersection of the humanities and visualization, we especially invite
contributions related to the theme Visualizing Peace and Conflict as a response
to the global increase of violence and armed conflict
(seehttps://ucdp.uu.se/encyclopedia). At the same time, however, submissions do
not need to focus explicitly on conflict between warring parties. We also
encourage submissions related to ideological, civil, social, environmental, or
epistemic conflicts and the potential for their resolution to address a broader
theme/trend of intensified division worldwide. The topic aims to bring together
researchers in international relations, peace & conflict resolution, sociology,
anthropology, digital humanities, and visualization to present and discuss how
research approaches in these areas can critically inform one another and
contribute to new ways of studying conflict and its peaceful resolution. Besides
general contributions at the intersection of visualization and (digital)
humanities that provide theoretical and/or applied perspectives, with this
year’s theme, we invite work around (but not limited to) the following
questions:

  *   How can visualization techniques make cultural phenomena which are
substantially structured or driven by tensions, antagonisms, controversies, or
conflicts visible and negotiable?
  *   How can visualization tools be designed to inform or support the
resolution of conflicts?
  *   What visual strategies can be employed to highlight how political
conflicts frequently translate into representational or interpretive conflicts
(e.g., generating contested or conflicting descriptions, datasets, framings,
rhetorics, or other design choices)?
  *   What role do disagreements play in collaborative research and
visualization processes, and how might those be productively visualized rather
than resolved or hidden?

Submission Deadlines
Paper Track: 30 June 2025, 23:59 AoE
Agora Track: 22 August 2025, 23:59 AoE

Please, visit the workshop website on
https://vis4dh.dbvis.de<https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/> for more information.

The organizing committee looks forward to your contributions and to lively
discussions in Vienna
