The annual conference, “Digital Humanities in the Nordic Countries,” invites submissions of proposals for its 5th conference to be held in Riga, Latvia, 17–20 March 2020. The DHN conferences aim to provide an overview of research, education and communication about the interdisciplinary field of digital humanities from the Nordic to the Baltic region, and beyond.
CALL FOR PAPERS
In its 5th year, the conference will focus on interdisciplinary connections and methodological links between digital humanities and digital social sciences. Striving to acknowledge productive interconnections between the disciplines, DHN2020 aims to inspire a broad consideration of knowledge sharing and debates inspired by various forms and results of interdisciplinary cooperation.
Special topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- Digital humanities and data journalism, digital political and social research, digital discourse analysis and media studies. Possible cross-point areas: fake news and the spread of misinformation, semantic technologies, digital activism, digital forensics, ethical challenges in data-driven social media research, big data and media monitoring, news archives, and research data archiving
- Human-computer interaction and AI challenges in digital humanities and social sciences
- Digitally born data: web archiving, web research, web history, digital cultural heritage and folklore
- Digital approaches to studying, teaching and the revitalisation of endangered and small languages and indigenous cultures
- Digital research services in libraries, archives and museums
- Participatory research methods, citizen humanities/citizen science, crowdsourcing and communication in digital humanities and heritage studies
- Digital language resources (e.g. historical texts, parliamentary records, speech and multimodal corpora, social media data, etc.) and tools for digital humanities and social sciences (e.g. linking data across domains, media and languages).
In addition to the above-mentioned topics of interest, presentations raising discussion on practice and theory in digital humanities in relation to history, anthropology, ethnography, folkloristics, linguistics and translation studies, literary criticism, theology and cultural studies, as well as other fields are encouraged.
Types of submissions
DHN2020 invites for three types of presentations: long presentations, short presentations, and posters. For each type of presentation, a summary must be submitted, and, optionally, a publication-ready paper may also be submitted (see the table below).

This is a free open-access publication service at Sun SITE Central Europe operated under the umbrella of RWTH Aachen University. CEUR-WS.org is a recognized ISSN publication series, ISSN 1613-0073.

Proposals should include the session format (workshop or tutorial), title, and a short description of the topic (max. 1500 words) as well as the contact information of the person/s responsible. Proposals should also include the following: intended audience, approximate number of participants, and any requirements for technical equipment.
