The editors of a book project, Libraries and the Futures of the Humanities, call for chapter proposals for a volume that Rowman & Littlefield has invited us to submit, focused on how libraries can play a role in reimagining the humanities during a time of crisis and opportunity.
We invite proposals for chapters in five sections, focusing primarily on academic libraries and archives:
- Framing the Question: discussions on the history and concept of the humanities in relation to libraries
- Across the Disciplines: examples of programs and practices that support cross-disciplinary teaching and scholarship (for example, humanities in STEM, business, and medical disciplines)
- Beyond the University: initiatives that connect humanistic learning, research, and creativity to communities outside the university, from the local to the global
- Civic Learning: approaches that apply humanistic knowledge and skills to empower learners to participate in creative democratic change
- Machines and Meaning: projects that make use of AI, digital humanities, or maker technologies to open up innovative directions and possibilities in the humanities
The deadline to submit a chapter proposal is Saturday, February 1. For full details about this volume and to access the submission form, please visit here.
