Digital Humanities has become an increasingly important academic field in the last decade as it engages scholars in research at the intersection of the Humanities and digital technology. Given the ubiquitous nature of digital technologies in 21st century life, this emerging field offers scholars unique opportunities for research, pedagogy, and praxis.

The Winter School will begin with introductory sessions on the state of the field internationally, and in India. There will also be more specialized sessions on theoretical approaches to Digital Humanities, training in selected tools, and pedagogical practices for teaching literature and language. The Winter School will end with a panel discussion on the future of Digital Humanities in India.

Special Issue on ‘Digital Humanities’
Asian Quarterly, a journal published by IASE Pune, will be publishing a special issue on ‘Digital Humanities’ as a linked activity to the Winter School. The CFP is open to anyone working in the field of Digital Humanities.
Asian Quarterly invites contributions to a peer reviewed special issue on Digital Humanities. Contributions may locate themselves in this field specifically, or forge connections between Digital Humanities and related fields such as English, New Media Studies, (Digital) Archiving, and others. While we welcome all contributions which fall under the umbrella term ‘Digital Humanities,’ we especially hope the special issue will include contributions which address the research questions, methodologies, practices, pedagogies, and exigencies about Digital Humanities in India.
Submissions can be in the form of the traditional length essay or in other forms suitable to demonstrating scholarly work. Some examples of the latter include book reviews, digital project reviews, case studies, project descriptions, state of the field reports, digital pedagogy statements, and other possibilities. The special issue will be disseminated primarily in print form. Issue editors are considering the possibility of an electronic edition of the issue.
Deadlines:
Submission of articles: 20 December 2016
Publication of special issue: February 2017
Queries
