        Subject: Digital Latin

Celebrating the 40th birthday of "Humanist", we are glad to announce that

the proceedings of the International Workshop *Digital Latin 2* (Siena, 4–6
June 2025) have been published in a special issue of the journal
"Umanistica Digitale", *Digital Latin. Computational Infrastructures for
Research on Latin Language and Literature *(
https://umanisticadigitale.unibo.it/issue/view/1492).

The volume opens with an overview of major digital infrastructures and
platforms for research on Latin language and philology, including
LaLaLexiT, ALIM (Archivio della latinità italiana del Medioevo), SERICA,
CLARIN-IT, DigiLibLT, The Latin Text Archive, Thesaurus Linguae
Latinae, Mittellateinisches Wörterbuch, Digital Latin Library, Hyperbase,
Mirabile Digital Library, Corpus Corporum, ELA (Eurasian Latin Archive),
Musisque Deoque, Collatinus, Lexicon, Corpus Rhythmorum Musicum, and
RAMMSES. The issue also presents ongoing research projects and introduces
several new digital tools currently under development.

A second section gathers peer-reviewed contributions dedicated to case
studies in textual and linguistic research whose methodologies and results
have been improved, expanded, or made possible through the use of these
tools.

The third edition of the Workshop, dedicated to the use of artificial
intelligence in lexical studies and lexicography, will take place in Siena
at the Santa Chiara Lab on 15–16 June 2026. The event is co-sponsored by
Università di Siena (Centro Studi Comparati “I Deug-Su”, DFCLAM),
Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Università del Piemonte Orientale, and CNR
Pisa. Further information is available at Centro Studi Comparati “I Deug-Su”

        Subject: CFP: DHQ special issue on AI and DH Pedagogy

Dear Humanist,

Digital Humanities Quarterly invites abstracts for a
special issue devoted to the topic of artificial intelligence
(AI) in relation to digital humanities pedagogy. Though
AI-based approaches to the digital humanities have been a
part of the field for decades, recent years have seen an
explosion of methodologies utilizing AI, and of critical
discussion concerning the implications for digital humanities
pedagogy.

Abstracts are due August 1, 2026 to editors@digitalhumanities.org.


Please use the subject header: “DHQ AI Pedagogy Special Issue.”

See the full CFP at the DHQ site for more information:

        Subject: CfP: Pivotal Players: Academic reflections special issue

Dear Colleague,

We are writing to invite you to contribute to a curated collection of
articles titled Pivotal Players: Academic reflections on major works
that have shaped research across the Arts, Humanities, and Social
Science.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

The collection is premised on a deceptively simple observation: while
researchers regularly build on prior scholarship, we rarely pause to
reflect explicitly on which works have shaped us, and how. This
collection creates a dedicated space for exactly that reflection.

Contributors are invited to select a publication from before 2000 that
has inspired them in their own research; this may include, but is not
limited to, a seminal book, article, or comparable scholarly work, and
write a reflective piece examining its impact: on the field broadly, on
your own intellectual and methodological development, or both.
Contributions need not be uncritical. The collection welcomes honest
assessments of a work's limitations, contested legacies, or the ways a
field has moved beyond, or failed to move beyond, its foundational
assumptions.

The collection is anchored in Digital Humanities but is explicitly
transdisciplinary. Given that Digital Humanities is a relatively young
field, contributors are encouraged to draw on influential works from
cognate disciplines, including the social sciences, humanities, media
studies, information science, musicology, education, and beyond, and to
articulate how those works connect to current digital scholarship.

At a moment when knowledge production is accelerating, and the
boundaries of the digital humanities are being actively renegotiated,
this kind of reflexive scholarship helps the field understand its own
genealogy, surface underrepresented intellectual lineages, and think
more carefully about the assumptions embedded in foundational texts.

Routledge Open Research uses a transparent, post-publication peer-
review model that enables rapid publication and ongoing scholarly
dialogue. The format itself, reflective, personal, and rigorous, also
offers academics the rare opportunity to be truly transparent about the
works that have genuinely formed their thinking.

For more information about this new publication format, please contact
Kristen Brida <Kristen.Brida@taylorandfrancis.com>.
