Digital Humanities Quarterly is hosting a special issue on Black studies titled "Between DH and Me: Black Studies in/for the Rising Digital Humanities Generation." The call for proposals can be found attached as a PDF and Word Document as well as at this link: http://bit.ly/between-DH-and-me-CFP. The co-editors for this special issue are Alanna Prince, Cara Marta Messina, and Izetta Autumn Mobley; we are committed to making this process as transparent and accessible to scholars who are early in their career.

Proposals are due by January 17th, 2020 and will be submitted through this form: http://bit.ly/between-DH-and-me-proposal-form.

The process of this special issue:
As the CFP mentions, we will first be collecting proposals and then selecting proposals to be turned into articles. This way, authors do not need to commit an enormous amount of time to producing a longer piece of writing/research that may not get accepted. DHQ & the potential peer-reviewers still reserves the right to potentially reject any accepted proposals that have been transformed into articles, but we co-editors will be working hard to revise with the authors and make the pieces as strong as possible.

Virtual Workshops Before Proposals Due
Before the proposals are due on January 17th, we will host two virtual symposiums and workshops. We hope you can join us, especially if you have any questions about your proposals, would like some feedback, or would like to know more about our rubric while choosing the final proposals. The workshops will be held on:

• Friday, January 10th from 11am–1pm
• Monday, January 13th from 5–7pm

The virtual workshops will be done through Google Hangouts. If you are interested in joining the workshop, please fill out this form: http://bit.ly/between-DH-and-me-workshop. The Hangout link will be emailed to you.

Finally, if you have any questions, please contact us through this form: http://bit.ly/between-DH-and-me-contact

Best,
Cara Marta Messina on behalf of the co-editors of "Between DH and Me"
