Calls & Grants

Recent events have highlighted the role of the digital in the authoritarian movements, politics and governance. DDS is commissioning a series of short commentaries (up to 2000 words) exploring the digital contours of authoritarianism. We welcome short commentary articles (1,500-2,000 words) that report on, reflect on, critique, and illuminate our picture of the role of digital technologies in building, sustaining, and challenging authoritarian rule. We especially welcome papers that place this role in the longer histories of these political systems and those that explore these dynamics as they are occurring within a variety of jurisdictions. We are particularly keen to include analysis from across the global geopolitical landscape and not just the present U.S. moment - that is, an analysis of digitally-mediated authoritarianism in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, North America, and Europe.

This workshop aims to bring together experts from ecology and digital libraries, with contributions from AI research where applicable, to address the challenges of synthesizing diverse ecological data and improving predictive models. The integration of multi-scale data — often fragmented across different sources — poses a significant barrier to developing generalizable ecological insights. Recognizing the essential role of digital libraries in research infrastructure, we seek to explore AI-driven systems and FAIR data principles for enhancing ecological methodologies. While interdisciplinary contributions from fields such as climate science, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, environmental science, and geography are welcome, the primary focus remains on advancing ecological research through digital and computational tools. By bridging theory and practice, this workshop supports TPDL’s mission to drive digital innovation in ecological research and applications.

Travel and communication are themes that has not been extensively explored by communication scholars. Intercultural scholars have studied travel as encounter but a broader exploration of travel and communication has not been studied in depth. Travel has been extensively studied as it relates to tourism, hospitality, and marketing studies. Philosophers have also explored the meaning of travel and experiences while travelling. Travel includes countless dimensions: vacationing, embodied communication, movement, encountering other cultures, experiencing difference, etc. This topic continues to gain social and cultural currency, as well as in various relevant industries. Paradigmatic shifts such as in how and where people work in a post-pandemic world, Gen Z’s demand for a better work-life balance, and surges in “digital nomad” visas are just a few indicators of why this area of study demands attention. We seek to bring the study of travel alongside our study of communication. The many approaches to reflecting on communication can be brought to bear on the specific context and content of travel. This call for book chapter proposals invites contributors to examine travel and communication using a variety of approaches: including rhetorical studies, philosophical inquiry, narrative, critical, dialogic, semiotic, global, cross-cultural, and media studies. We welcome theoretical and practical approaches to the subject. In this edited volume, we explore multiple dimensions of how travel and communication intersect, interact and inform each other. We communicate about travel as lived experience, as performative expressions, for monetizing purposes, for personal reflection, etc. We seek to explore themes included but not limited to: What does travel mean? How do we talk about or describe our travel experiences? In anticipation of, during or after the travel? Through print, video, or social media?

The international workshop History of Digital History between East and West will take place on 5-6 February 2026 at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) of the University of Luxemburg. In histories of digital history, as in digital humanities in general, much emphasis has been placed on the two commonly recognized centers of the development of historical computing since the 1950s: the United States and Western Europe. As a result, crucial developments elsewhere have been overlooked, including in the Nordic countries as well as the Soviet Union and the various states of the Eastern bloc. The consequence of this omission is not merely a lack of knowledge about specific countries and a skewed understanding of digital history’s manifold early trajectories. It also creates epistemological blind spots regarding the political dimensions of the development of early historical computing and, given the latter’s networked nature within a general context of ‘East-West’ scholarly exchange in the Cold War period, obscures the transnational dimensions of the early history of digital history. This workshop will address these blind spots by focusing attention on the question of how the local and the transnational intersected in the technology-inflected reshaping of historical research practices and how political backgrounds, contexts and constraints fed into this process. We therefore seek papers that focus on local case studies in a transnational ‘East-West’ context, as well as those that consider comparative perspectives. Papers that ask what resources are available to support research in this area are similarly welcome.

Die vom 23.-24.10.2025 in Paderborn stattfindende Tagung möchte das bisher wenig beleuchtete Phänomen des Streamens und Kommentierens von Spielen mit historischem Bezug zur Diskussion stellen. Daher laden wir Wissenschaftler:innen, Streamer:innen, Kreativschaffende und Personen aus der politischen Bildung ein, an der Tagung teilzunehmen. Abschlussarbeiten von Studierenden sind herzlich willkommen.

Abstract submissions may address any implementation of AI in studies of the human past while maintaining historical and hermeneutical perspectives to appropriately situate contemporary generative AI developments within their historical context. Additionally, submissions should examine these practices within the broader evolution of computational methods (including antecedent mechanographic systems) in humanities and social sciences research since the post-war period (for instance: François Furet, Adeline Daumard 1959 ). Submissions must adhere to the journal’s established multilayered article format (narrative/hermeneutic/code and data). Prospective contributors are strongly advised to review the Author Guidelines prior to submission.

Mit diesem Call for Papers sind interessierte Wissenschaftler:innen aller Fachrichtungen dazu eingeladen, sich mit Formen des alltäglichen, lebensweltlich sedimentierten praktischen Umgangs mit digitalen Medien auseinanderzusetzen. Denkbar sind dabei fundierte Auseinandersetzungen mit Praktiken wie dem Kommentieren, Liken, Swipen, Zoomen, Online-Dating, dem Aufnehmen und ästhetischen Bearbeiten von Selfies, dem Studieren oder Forschen mit digitalen Medien, Spielen, 3D-Drucken, Influencen, dem Tiktoken, Prompten oder generativen Schreiben. Die spezifische Rede von Medienpraktiken adressiert dabei einerseits praxistheoretische Ansätze, die praktische mediale Umgangsformen jenseits eines Verständnisses vom Medium „als Objekt, Produkt, Text oder Institution“ erforschen (Dang-Anh et al. 2017, S. 7). Andererseits sind ebenso wissenschaftstheoretische Zugänge erwünscht, die Praktiken in allgemeiner Hinsicht als routinisierte, regelgeleitete und sozial verfasste Handlungsmuster sowie Interaktionsformen (vgl. z. B. Jaeggi 2014, S. 95-103) im Horizont von Medialität und (Post-)Digitalität verhandeln.

The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy (JITP) seeks scholarly work for a special issue on minimalist digital humanities pedagogy. Scholars have defined minimal computing as "computing done under significant constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, power, or other factors." Drawing inspiration from this work, this special issue explores minimalist digital humanities pedagogy, a broad approach to teaching and learning in DH that works within significant technological, infrastructural, resource, or pedagogical restrictions, whether undertaken intentionally or as a response to circumstance.

We are honoured and pleased to announce the 29th Workshop on Aggression, which will take place on November 26-28, 2025, at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic.

This makes the Workshop on Aggression an ideal place for scientific exchange between researchers with different theoretical and methodological backgrounds concerning aggression.

CLS was first convened in 2018 with the mission to fuel a growing movement of innovators harnessing the power of emerging technology to expand access to participatory, playful, and creative learning. It was launched as a merger between three community events with this shared vision and values: the Digital Media and Learning Conference, the Games+Learning+Society Conference, and Sandbox Summit. With a unique focus on cross-sector connections and progressive and catalytic innovation, the event brings together leading researchers, educators, and developers. The hosting and stewardship of the event has continued to evolve in tandem with the changing conditions of the global pandemic. UC Irvine’s Connected Learning Lab and MIT’s Scheller Teacher Education Program and Education Arcade were the founding hosts of the event. As we have moved online and become a more international event, we are expanding our roster of partners and hosts.

Die vielfältigen Formen des Erlebens von Horror in digitalen Spielen sollen in den Beiträgen des geplanten Sammelbandes näher gefasst werden. Was ist das Spezifische dieses Erlebens, wie kann es identifiziert und von anderen Erlebnissen in digitalen Spielen und vom Horrorerleben in anderen Medien abgegrenzt werden? Ausgangspunkt des Calls ist aufgrund der fachlichen Ausrichtung des Herausgebers zunächst eine rezeptionsästhetische Sicht. Doch auch produktionsästhetische Perspektiven sind möglich, insofern sie an das Erleben des Spiels durch Spieler*innen anknüpfbar sind.

The “manosphere” refers to a heterogenous group of online communities that broadly promotes anti-feminism, misogyny, and hateful ideas about women, trans, and non-binary people. These communities attract, among other others, involuntary celibates (Incels), Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), pick-up artists (PUA), and Men’s Rights Activists (MRA). Although these communities are different, they share a broad ideology that women are to blame for a society in which men are victims, and that feminism is the cause of societal ills. These communities frequently endorse pseudo-science to justify male supremacy and produce hateful and violent narratives, which can lead to extremist behaviour with dangerous and fatal real-world consequences. First appearing in social media in the late 2000s-early 2010s, these groups are broadly understood to have historical roots from movements in the 1970s and 1980s. Although the numbers of individuals who frequent these online spaces are hard to determine, the communities they have come to represent have become more prominent in the mainstream due to well-publicised violent (and often tragic) actions undertaken by self-proclaimed members. Additionally, some prominent influencers, who share overlapping ideologies with the manosphere, find audiences beyond the online community in the mainstream media. This collection invites research that interrogates the causes, impact, and repercussions of this manosphere and networked misogyny. Research that engages with the following, and other, topics is welcomed: The reasons why and how men enter and exit the manosphere or similar communities What makes men vulnerable to the manosphere ideologies How these communities function and evolve, and network across online spaces The relationship between online groups and real-life violence The mechanics of radicalisation and extremism within networks of misogyny Analysis of memes, trolls, and other online tools used in such communities How influencers and public figures capitalize and cultivate the manosphere Discursive strategies used by members of the manosphere to support their ideology and ideas Overlap between the manosphere and other movements, such as the far right and white supremacy groups Mainstreaming of manosphere ideas and ideologies Counter narratives and movements (e.g., #metoo movement) Toxic narratives and ideologies in other spheres (e.g., arts, culture, politics) We welcome submissions that employ diverse methodologies and draw from a range of disciplines, including: sociology, anthropology, ethnography, gender studies, psychology, media studies, political science, among others.

We ask: What role might intercultural communicative language education play in promoting a more sustainable world for all? What might an intercultural communicative language education for a more sustainable world look like? What might be the implications for teachers and learners of moving towards intercultural communicative language education for sustainability? With these issues and questions in mind, CERCLL invites language educators to reflect on how they could re-envision what they teach and how they teach it to meaningfully address these crises with the goal of building a sustainable world for all. The organizers of ICC 2026 seek presentation proposals that focus upon these questions. Authors will be asked to choose from among the following strands: •Theoretical and conceptual approaches • Assessment • Curricula, materials, and instructional approaches • Technology • Policy and institutional initiatives • Exchanges (physical and virtual) • Service/Community-based learning • Professional learning of language educators

This special issue of the Chinese Journal of Communication aims to expand our understanding of transnational migration in the digital age, especially as it relates to platforms, publics, and policies. It explores how digital platforms (Chinese and non-Chinese), their sociotechnical affordances, and the discourses they produce (or censor) bear upon transnational migration between China and various parts of the world, including Southeast Asia, Oceania, Africa, and Latin America, as well as North America, Europe and the rest of Asia. We are particularly interested in submissions that draw attention to the implications of digital technologies for migrant communities and the relations of power they (re)produce, user practices that work with or around digital affordances to achieve individual or collective goals, and national or supranational laws and regulations that shape digital industries and ecosystems and their impact on transnational migration.

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) supports researchers who have fled their home countries by making it easier for them to join research projects and apply for funding under the Walter Benjamin Programme. The following requirements must be met in principle: The person has not been outside their home country for more than three years at the time of application and they have residential status in connection with an asylum procedure within the EU and are recognised as being at risk, or in lieu of proof of residency status, they are able to present credible third-party evidence of being at risk no more than 12 months prior to application. This way, the DFG also underlines its solidarity with researchers from Ukraine and Russia who had to flee their home country due to the current war situation triggered by the Russian attack. By integrating them swiftly in the German research system, the aim is to enable them to maintain continuity in their academic work. Die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) unterstützt aus ihrem Heimatland geflüchtete Forschende durch die Erleichterung der Mitarbeit an Forschungsprojekten und die erleichterte Antragstellung im Walter Benjamin-Programm (Option Walter Benjamin-Stelle). Voraussetzungen: - Die Person darf sich noch nicht länger als drei Jahre außerhalb ihres Heimatlandes aufhalten (Zeitpunkt der Antragstellung) und - Es muss ein aufenthaltsrechtlicher Status im Zusammenhang mit einem Asylverfahrens innerhalb der EU vorliegen, aus dem eine anerkannte Gefährdung hervorgeht oder - Statt eines aufenthaltsrechtlichen Staus muss ein glaubwürdiger Nachweis der Gefährdung von einer dritten Stelle vorgelegt werden, der nicht älter als 12 Monate alt sein darf (Zeitpunkt der Antragstellung). (Information available in German and English. The deadline is just a dummy, the grant is open at the moment)

This proposal aims to reflect on migration studies' contemporary dynamics and histories in their academic and activist practices in knowledge production in these universes. It seeks to aggregate studies that contribute to our thinking on issues relevant to research practices, their modalities, publication, feedback, collaborative processes, and activism. One of the issues that prompted us to organize this dossier, since migration studies are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, was the relevance of discussing the limits and openings of our methodological, theoretical, and feedback choices in knowledge production, both for interlocutors and for society as a whole. After all, to what extent can we or cannot, in a dialogue between different areas of knowledge, propose broad criteria of scientific objectivity or questions about scientificity or activism? Or even question the various forms of writing and formatting of studies. The aim is also to include studies that reflect on the ethical issues involved in producing knowledge about migrations and that present proposals for “ethical care” that encompass the different Human Sciences. Another important perspective of this dossier is to disseminate research that works with the collaborative proposal and presents negotiated forms of feedback to the groups studied and studies produced and published collectively.

Each year, our networking event addresses a topic that can be understood as a key concept in the ethical and human-centred design of digital transformation. In an increasingly platform-centred digital world, the governance of platforms has become a critical tool in maintaining and expanding a democratic digital infrastructure in the EU and beyond. At the same time, these efforts are confronted with global policy challenges, as the platform landscape is rapidly transforming. DigiMeet 2025 aims to explore the latest developments in global platform governance, focusing on the underlying power dynamics, societal implications and technological advancements that shape our policy discourse. Through the lens of four subtopics, we seek to approach the focus topic from different perspectives:

Digital technologies have assumed a multifaceted role in transnational migration, especially for people who migrate to/from a highly platformized society such as China. More than 50 million people of Chinese origin are estimated to live outside China, especially in Southeast Asia, Oceania, and North America, although emigration to other parts of Asia, as well as Africa and Latin America, has also picked up. While the majority identify as Han Chinese, many ethnic minority Chinese also migrate around the world. At the same time, China hosts nearly 1.5 million immigrants. The country’s digital ecosystem creates unique opportunities and challenges for both groups. Researchers have examined the Chinese diaspora’s homeland and ethnic media use from the perspective of identity construction and political intervention. Others have looked at how Chinese emigrants employ homeland platforms, such as WeChat and Sina Weibo, as a migration infrastructure and ethno-transnational media, and how they serve as tools for digitized diasporic governance. Some scholars have also investigated the use of local and global platforms by immigrants arriving in China. Even as Chinese migrants experience racism online, Chinese platforms are not immune to exclusivist narratives targeting immigrants, either. Digital nationalism and populist discourses are important contexts in which immigrants and emigrants are represented by Chinese social media. This special issue of the Chinese Journal of Communication aims to expand our understanding of transnational migration in the digital age, especially as it relates to platforms, publics, and policies. It explores how digital platforms (Chinese and non-Chinese), their sociotechnical affordances, and the discourses they produce (or censor) bear upon transnational migration between China and various parts of the world, including Southeast Asia, Oceania, Africa, and Latin America, as well as North America, Europe and the rest of Asia. We are particularly interested in submissions that draw attention to the implications of digital technologies for migrant communities and the relations of power they (re)produce, user practices that work with or around digital affordances to achieve individual or collective goals, and national or supranational laws and regulations that shape digital industries and ecosystems and their impact on transnational migration.We invite contributions that address questions such as, but not limited to, the following: • What are the ways in which transnational migrants to/from China—or particular ethnicity-, religion-, income-, gender-, or sexuality-based groups within migrant communities—use digital technologies? • How do the sociotechnical affordances of digital devices and platforms, from interface design to algorithmic features such as filter bubbles, shape their use by transnational migrants to/from China? • How do transnational migrants to/from China deal with technological, financial, and/or linguistic barriers to communication through digital devices and platforms? • How do the business models of digital industries bear upon transnational migrant experiences to/from China? Who are its key stakeholders and intermediaries? • How does the attention economy of digital platforms influence transnational migrant experiences to/from China? How do these migrants negotiate their (in)visibility in this attention economy? • What are the discourses about transnational migration to/from China emerging in digital spaces? What are the ideological underpinnings of such discourses, and how do they impact domestic or international politics? • What are the emerging national/supranational laws and policies vis-à-vis digital platforms, and how do they impact transnational migration to/from China or migrant experiences? Who are their key stakeholders and intermediaries? • How will emerging trends in digital society, from augmented reality to the increasing use of artificial intelligence, impact transnational migration to/from China?

This volume explores the largely untapped field of Rural Media Studies, focusing on the impact of digitalization beyond metropolitan centers. We aim to compile the final manuscript by *December 15, 2025*. Scope and Objectives The volume will examine the processes of digitalization and their unique influences in rural contexts, addressing the need for scholarship that moves beyond urban-focused research. Digitalization—the integration of digital technology across sectors of government, business, and society—is often examined through an urban lens, leaving the media landscapes of rural areas underexplored. This volume seeks to address this gap by establishing a *"rural turn"* within Media Studies. This shift is essential to avoid knowledge gaps and enhance decision-making across social, political, and environmental domains. Recognizing that transitioning to climate-neutral societies requires a robust understanding of media practices within rural populations, this volume encourages scholarship that moves beyond traditional urban-centric frameworks.

Sección 7 – Perspectivas decoloniales en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales hispanoamericanas: cruzando umbrales hacia la pluralidad y la post-digitalidad. Formatos para las presentaciones (una propuesta por persona): 1: Ponencia interactiva de unos 45min (30min con 10min de discusión) 2: Taller práctico (90min) Lengua: español o alemán Es crucial que en las escuelas como lugares de socialización y formación, la enseñanza crítica y decolonial sea parte del currículo. No solo en los materiales que se utilizan sino también en la práctica docente. Es notable que haya estudiantes que llegan a su formación universitaria sin haber reflexionado sobre continuidades poscoloniales. Este hecho puede ser un indicador de la ausencia en la sociedad en general de perspectivas críticas sobre estas continuidades, o de un inadecuado tratamiento de éstas en el sistema escolar en particular. El presente panel propone crear un espacio de reflexión sobre cómo incorporar e implementar perspectivas críticas de lo poscolonial en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales en Hispanoamérica y España, en consideración de todos los ámbitos involucrados en este proceso. Esto es considerar, junto a la enseñanza del idioma español, las transformaciones sociales de los contextos de sus hablantes y cómo éstas son abordadas y/o representadas por miembros de las respectivas comunidades. También significa considerar el contexto de aprendizaje, vale decir la escuela o centros de formación adulta, puesto que las condiciones de la poscolonialidad generan realidades también en el interior de las instituciones educacionales y se manifiestan, entre otras cosas, en los programas de enseñanza. Esta propuesta se enmarca entonces en la necesidad de cruzar umbrales epistemológicos y metodológicos para fomentar una comprensión crítica, diversa y plural que cuestione los imaginarios dominantes (Castoriadis, 2005) y dé voz a narrativas subalternas, propiciando así polifonías decoloniales. Considerando las experiencias de personas que trabajan en los distintos contextos de enseñanza, el panel busca discutir sobre perspectivas y herramientas de implementación para el fomento de una educación crítica y representativa de la pluralidad de los contextos en los que se habla la lengua. De esta manera se busca también contribuir a la necesaria transformación de currículos e inclusión de nuevas metodologías y prácticas. Se propone un abordaje interdisciplinario, que combine los aportes de la teoría poscolonial (Coronil, 2000 / Hall 2013) e interseccional (Lugones, 2008 / Mignolo, 2005 / Spivak, 2017), con un enfoque que reconoce la “mediatización profunda” (Hepp, 2020) y la continuidad entre los mundos “en línea” y “fuera de línea”, es decir, post-digitales (Knox, 2019). En este contexto es que las nuevas tecnologías y los medios pueden servir para explorar nuevas formas de enseñanza con materiales innovadores para los estudios del español, las dinámicas culturales de sus hablantes y la representación y mediatización de éstas. La interdisciplinariedad puede manifestarse también en los acercamientos metodológicos. Se invita a reflexionar sobre cómo las herramientas digitales y las plataformas de redes sociales pueden ser utilizadas para crear espacios de diálogo intercultural (López García, 2024) y de construcción colectiva de conocimiento. Se destaca la utilización del cine y otros medios audiovisuales (Troncoso Salazar, 2021) como vehículos para explorar imaginarios sobre el sur global, la diversidad de voces subalternas y su mediatización. El análisis crítico de producciones cinematográficas y series televisivas pueden reflejar realidades sociales y procesos culturales, entregando imágenes de mayor resolución, vale decir, más complejas, de las comunidades de la lengua estudiada. El panel busca entonces explorar experiencias pedagógicas que reflexionen sobre los siguientes posibles tópicos, sin limitarse a ellos: 1) Metodologías en la enseñanza del español y de estudios culturales sobre Hispanoamérica y España que incorporen una perspectiva crítica poscolonial. 2) Utilización de medios audiovisuales y digitales para explorar imaginarios emergentes subalternos. 3) Análisis crítico de sitios de redes sociales y plataformas digitales como espacios de producción cultural. 4) Desafíos y oportunidades de la post-digitalidad en la enseñanza de lenguas y culturas.
