[Sigah-l] Call for papers: Digital Humanities and Information Visualization: Innovation and Integration

[Sarah Buchanan]

Call for papers: Digital Humanities and Information Visualization:
Innovation and Integration

SIG-AH and SIG-VIS (Arts & Humanities, Visualization-Images-Sound) of ASIST
are joining forces to examine the digital humanities and information
visualization with a group of papers to be published in an upcoming special
issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and
Technology. Geotags, participatory content, automatic classification
methods, statistical analyses, visualization techniques and other
technological methods have enhanced the pedagogy and scholarship within the
humanities in recent years. With this in mind papers are being sought which
present an overview of the digital humanities and information
visualization, or which address the current and potential future
intersection of the two topics. Special topics for your consideration
include: the development of digital technologies and digital humanities
tools, data mining applications in the humanities, visualization
techniques, the use and re-use of historical data sets, and innovative
practices and definitions within the digital humanities and information
visualization. We also eagerly invite topics of your choosing which address
any aspect of technology within humanities.

Papers should be approximately 1000-2000 words in length and submitted by
December 31, 2011 to: Sarah Buchanan <sarahab at ucla.edu> and Joan Beaudoin <
Joan.Beaudoin at wayne.edu>. We welcome you to contact either of us in the
interim to discuss potential papers and we look forward to hearing from you.
