Call for Papers

Special Issue of the Journal of the Digital Humanities Association of
Southern Africa: Crossroads Digital Humanities

We invite authors and particularly those from the Digital Humanities
community to submit manuscripts to a special issue of the JDHASA. In
this special issue, we want to investigate the manifold connections of
the Digital Humanities with academic disciplines that are not usually
connected with DH. We also welcome comparative Digital Humanities
studies of different datasets, and hands-on or analytical work in the
sciences where Digital Humanities methods or approaches are applied.
Practical examples of the application of Digital Humanities and their
application to real life problems are equally welcome. In particular,
research within the context of Southern Africa is encouraged.

Topic of Interests include but are not limited to:
* Connections of Digital Humanities and the Sciences, e.g., DH meets
Medicine, Social Science, Education, Geography, or Climate Change;
* Digital Humanities methods applied to multiple fields of Humanities,
such as Literature and Music, Social Sciences and NLP, Language studies
and Education;
* Applications of Digital Humanities to real life problems in
developing countries and communities;
* Digital Humanities research in low-resource environments;
* Theoretical or Hermeneutic studies of multi-disciplinary Digital
Humanities.

Formal requirements:
* Manuscripts are to be submitted as PDF and .docx or .odt (or as zip-
compressed Latex folder) on our website (Link here); Submissions have
to be made directly via the journal website (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/ );
