Dear all,

(with apologies for cross-posting)

The Association for Computers in the Humanities (ACH) invites proposals for their virtual conference to take place this summer; I've copied the basic details below. They are very interested in proposals that have a multilingual angle (see below) and are wide-ranging in their interests (again, see below)

A note that membership to the Association is rather affordable ($40) and brings the overall registration for the conference down to $50 (a total of $90). The student membership price is $25. https://ach.org/membership/

*ACH 2023 CFP (https://ach2023.ach.org/en/cfp/ https://ach2023.ach.org/en/cfp/)) *Deadline: February 1st, 2023, 11:59:59 PM in GMT -12

Submit a proposal: ACH 2023 Conftool https://www.conftool.pro/ach2023/

The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) will hold ACH 2023, a virtual conference, from June 29-July 1, 2023.

*Conference Focus* ACH 2023 is guided by our commitments to equity and justice. The conference recognizes that digital humanities scholarship is inextricably sociopolitical. Therefore, we have chosen to forgo a theme to emphasize the inherent sociopolitical nature of the work and encourage all proposal writers to explicitly address the sociopolitical stakes of their work.

ACH 2023 prioritizes proposals that focus on social justice in multiple contexts: anti-racist work, Indigenous studies, cultural and critical ethnic studies, intersectional feminism, postcolonial and decolonial studies, disability studies, and queer studies.

We also prioritize proposals that explicitly address multilingualism in digital humanities, which is itself a matter of social justice. Examples of topics include: multilingual metadata, linked open data, preservation and dissemination of endangered languages, OCR for non-Latin scripts, methods for right-to-left languages, tools and interfaces for multilingual digital humanities, multilingual pedagogies, and multilingual corpora.

*Conference Scope* Areas of digital humanities scholarship that are relevant to the conference include but are not limited to:

- Digital and computational approaches to humanistic research and pedagogy - Digital cultural heritage - Digital surveillance - Environmental humanities & climate justice - Digital humanities tools and infrastructures - Digital librarianship - Digital media, art, literature, history, music, film, and games - Digital public humanities - Humanistic and ethical approaches to data science and data visualization - Humanistic research on digital objects and cultures - Humanities knowledge infrastructures - Labor and organization in digital humanities - Physical computing - Resource creation, curation, and engagement - Use of digital technologies to write, publish, and review scholarship

As a conference committed to cross-disciplinary engagement, ACH 2023 welcomes interdisciplinary proposals. We are also especially interested in receiving proposals from participants with a range of expertise and a variety of roles, including alt-ac positions, employment outside of higher education, and graduate and undergraduate students. We further invite proposals from participants who are newcomers to digital humanities.

best wishes, Heather
