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.
