Hello all,

"Crafting Encounters with Humanities Data<https://dhandlib.org/2024/05/29/dhlib-special-issue-cfp-crafting-encounters-with-humanities-data/>" is a special issue of dh+lib<https://dhandlib.org/> 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.
