This is very late-notice, but the New England American Studies Association
conference's theme this year is Digital Revolutions, and it seems to me
Wikipedia and GLAM would fit in perfectly. The deadline for proposals is
May 3 (this Thursday). Anyone interested?

Digital Revolutions: Interpreting and Historicizing American Culture
Recent developments in digital technologies have transformed the place of
the humanities in American life. From online versions of Cotton Mather's
Magnalia Christi Americana to a daily John Quincy Adams Twitter feed to the
Smithsonian's publicly accessible Archives of American Art to the Women
Writers Online Project, digital technologists are reshaping our sense of
history, place, community, and identity. Digitization of America's cultural
heritage has also fundamentally transformed work in the humanities itself.
From universities to libraries to cultural
institutions, the information
infrastructure has brought forth digital
collaborations across disciplines
and beyond the academy, as well as between scholars, educators, archivists
and programmers. But it has also brought forward concerns about copyright,
control and access to information and the future of print media.
Are such changes unprecedented? Prior evolutions in communications
technology suggest otherwise. From broadsides to blogs, such changes have
reshaped the way Americans interact and understand themselves both in the
present and the past. The 2012 NEASA conference, Digital Revolutions,
invites participants to consider what these developments are, how they are
redefining work in the humanities and what previous media revolutions
suggest for the future.
This conference will combine scholarly investigation of the cultural,
political and economic significance of communications media with a series
of panels, workshops and participatory forums that can take advantage of
technologies now available to us. In addition to individual paper
proposals, we also welcome submissions for roundtable discussions, hands-on
workshops and multimedia sessions such as film screenings, online
presentations and 5-minute micropapers.
Proposals should include a one page abstract and title, as well as the
author's name, address (including email), and institutional or professional
affiliation. For panel proposals please include contact information for all
participants, as well as a brief (no more than two page) description of the
session topic and format. Submit proposals to
neasaconference12(a)gmail.comby the revised deadline of May 3, 2012.
Proposal or queries may also be
sent to:
