SUMMARY:Taking Stock and Setting Agendas: A Workshop on Data\, Digital Humanities\, and Early American Studies
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS\nOver thirty years of digitally informed scholarship have proven that the digital humanities have much to offer the field of early American studies. The Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona University\, the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, the Open U.S. History Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas\, and the journal\, Early American Studies\, invite proposals for a workshop exploring the intersection of the digital humanities (DH) and early American studies. The hybrid workshop will be held in person at the campus of Iona University in New Rochelle\, New York\, and virtually through Zoom from Friday\, September 19th\, 2025\, to Saturday\, September 20th\, 2025. \nParticipants in the workshop will precirculate papers of approximately 5\,000 words and be expected to read and comment on the work of three other participants. All papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of Early American Studies that will attempt to both historicize digital scholarship in early American studies and consider where the field should go from here. We welcome scholars from a host of disciplines including\, but not limited to: literature and literary studies\, history\, computer science\, anthropology\, religious studies\, art history\, library and information science\, area studies\, communication\, Native American and Indigenous studies\, geography\, media studies\, and all others who explore how the digital humanities offer new insights to the study of early America. \nProposals should fall into one of two categories: 1) “taking stock\,” or reflections\, broadly defined\, on different aspects of digitally informed scholarship in the field of early American studies\, and 2) “setting agendas” or considerations of where to go next. Accepted participants in both categories will be expected to submit papers of approximately 5\,000 words by August 1\, 2025. \nAuthors who contribute to the “Taking Stock” section will write surveys of how scholars have used a given digital method or tool over the last several decades. Examples of these methods or tools may include digital mapping\, text mining\, data visualization\, network analysis\, augmented/virtual reality\, digital curation\, podcasting\, transcription\, artificial intelligence\, and more. We envision these pieces as examinations of the use of these methods across the field of early American studies\, not as individual project profiles. \nAuthors who write for “Setting Agendas” will write argument-driven\, “thought” essays which use the digital humanities to offer a scholarly intervention in the field of early American Studies or pieces that demonstrate how deeper insights into early America change our understanding of the digital world. We envision these papers as more future-oriented works. \nTo submit a proposal\, please send a single document including a brief biographical statement and abstract of no more than 300 words in one document to bgw@utdallas.edu by June 1\, 2025. We will notify presenters of acceptance by June 15th\, 2025. The program committee includes the editors of Early American Studies\, Rosalind J. Beiler\, University of Central Florida\, and Judith Ridner\, Mississippi State University; along with Emma Hart and Peter Olsen-Harbich of the McNeil Center and the University of Pennsylvania; Mark Boonshoft\, Virginia Military Institute; Nora Slonimsky\, Iona University and the Institute for Thomas Paine Studies; and Ben Wright\, the University of Texas at Dallas and the Open U.S. History Lab. \nJoin us for a dynamic conversation on the evolving relationship between the digital humanities and Early American Studies. We look forward to your contributions! \nFor inquiries\, please contact Ben Wright at bgw@utdallas.edu. \nCLICK HERE FOR THE PROGRAM

SUMMARY:ITPS Patriots' Day Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Symposium Page \nAs part of the Iona Month of Excellence in Scholarly and Creative Activities\, “From Concord to Common Sense: Commemoration and Conflict in the Legacy of the American Revolution” will explore the complex relationship between celebration and critique of the American war for independence. \nInspired by the creation of Patriots’ Day in the late nineteenth century\, this symposium will discuss how we remember the Revolutionary Era. A holiday celebrated in three states – and recognized locally in many others – Patriots’ Day commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord on the third Monday of April every year\, recognizing them start of the American Revolution. Three roundtable discussions and an ITPS archival exhibit will address questions of what commemoration means\, the social role and responsibility of commemorative practices\, and how evolving methodologies in the digital humanities and in public history influence our historical memory of events and figures—from Thomas Paine to the 21st century. \nThis event is free and open to the public. No RSVP required!
