CFP: Revolutions and Reflections
Revolutions and Reflections: A Conference for Editing and Recovery Practitioners
From August 8–9, the Center for Digital Editing’s eLaboratories will host its first annual conference in Charlottesville, Virginia, under the theme “Revolutions and Reflections.” We invite editors, recovery practitioners, public historians, archivists, educators, students, digital humanists, community-based researchers, and more to join us in discussing methodologies, technological approaches, public applications, and insights gained from editing and recovery work.
Held in the context of the United States’ 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, our first conference aims to reflect on revolution as both a historical event and an ongoing process. Our theme, “Revolutions and Reflections,” fosters discussion on how editions, archives, and research collections shape our understanding of revolutionary moments, and how evolving technologies, methodologies, and public needs are reshaping the editorial landscape.
The deadline for proposals is May 10. The full CFP and a link to submit proposals is available here. Please note that thanks to generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, travel and lodging costs for all accepted presenters will be covered.
