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 for chapter proposals is Saturday, February 1, 2025.
