Call for Papers, Call for Participation

We are happy to announce our workshop “New tools for old problems” which will take place online via Zoom on 09.01.2021. Participation is free. We especially invite contributions from early career researchers.

The topic of the workshop reflects how recent developments in research have made it possible to engage in novel ways with established problems in the humanities. These new approaches may include digital tools as well as theories or methodologies, often stemming from interdisciplinary discourses.

The workshop will focus heavily on discussion. Contributors will prepare an introductory talk of 15 minutes, which will be followed by a moderated discussion of 30 minutes. Each session consists of one or two talks, and will end with a review of the preceding discussions. We plan to publish the results of the workshop as an open source white paper via the koinetzwerk website.

Anyone interested in presenting their research is welcome to send us their title and a short abstract (250 words). Additionally, please submit a short CV as well as reading material (max. 20 pages) that you think will aid the discussion. Contributions can be either in English or German. The deadline for submitting your abstracts is 04.12.2020. The final programme will be announced by 15.12.2020. Please submit your proposals as a PDF via e-mail (Mona.Dietrich@fau.de).

Registration as a participant or for the evening lecture is possible via e-mail until 31.12.2020. Please note that the number of participants for the workshop is limited to 25 on a first-come, first-served basis. All participants should read the material provided by the speakers beforehand. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions regarding the workshop.
