ach.orgCall for proposals: DHQ institutional host and Editor in Chief

19 Aug

Deadline extended. ACH seeks a new Editor in Chief and institutional host for Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ). Expressions of interest now due Jan 8, 2027. DHQ is diamond open access, free for readers and authors. Details and how to apply at: buff.ly/i1x9v5Y

Thank you @nolauren.bsky.social and Andy Janco!

Lauren Tilton@nolauren.bsky.social

An honor to serve as @ach.bsky.social co-President with Andy Janco! I've been around since 2018 (through COVID and other major challenges). A quick look back and forward. 🧵

ACH is looking to fill some open leadership roles. We're inviting applications for three officer roles, Communications Officer, Deputy Treasurer, and Deputy Secretary. All are four year terms, open to DH folks at any career stage. More below

Deputy Secretary works with our Co-Secretaries on meetings, notes, member emails, and documentation. First two years as deputy, then full Secretary for the remaining two. Four year term.

Past DH experience isn’t required. All you need is a willingness to contribute effort, and enthusiasm for involvement with DH and the ACH. Applications close August 7. Email your info and a short statement of interest to secretary@ach.org. Full details here → buff.ly/rh30qHs

Communications Officer keeps our website, newsletters, and social media running, and helps promote events like our annual conference. GitHub familiarity is a plus but not required. Four year term, ideally alongside a future Deputy Communications Officer.

Deputy Treasurer shadows our current Treasurer this year, then leads ACH finances (budget, payments, IRS filings) starting summer 2027. Four year term.
