Hello all,

I am happy to announce that the CFP for dh+lib's next special issue, Crafting Encounters with Humanities Data, is now live<https://dhandlib.org/2024/05/29/dhlib-special-issue-cfp-crafting-encounters-with-humanities-data/>. This is a follow up to Making Research Tactile: Critical Making and Data Physicalization in Digital Humanities<https://dhandlib.org/2024/04/29/making-research-tactile-critical-making-and-data-physicalization-in-digital-humanities/>. Proposals are due September 15, so you have all summer to come up with your idea.

Crafting Encounters with Humanities Data is a special issue of dh+lib that will explore ways of integrating critical making and data physicalization into library-based digital humanities pedagogy in a variety of forms and modalities, including workshops, course-related instruction, and more.

Methods and topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Crafting (knitting, sewing, crocheting, weaving, etc.) visualizations
  *   Data physicalization as accessible/tactile data visualizations
  *   Teaching technological concepts through making
  *   Digital humanities data objects
  *   Supporting creative approaches to data and technology

Proposals (~250 words) should describe the topic and/or method being explored, and introduce a tentative idea for a pattern that readers can use to make a similar physical object (see the zine from our earlier special issue). You do not have to be a librarian or work in a library to submit, but the main audience of your piece should be library workers. We also understand these proposals might not represent work already done, and will be flexible if your topic shifts as you do the work.

Submit proposals by September 15, 2024. <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScEDnchDSTZ3O1JGchyzzGibaI5PbsYu2bqEKv4VYR9J0pByw/viewform>

More details are available in the call<https://dhandlib.org/2024/05/29/dhlib-special-issue-cfp-crafting-encounters-with-humanities-data/>!

Best,
Claudia
