CFP/sponsor description:��

The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a magnifying glass, revealing all the ways our systems are broken. A crisis like a pandemic can throw those systems into further disarray, with fear and confusion providing fertile ground for various actors to sow the seeds of increased surveillance. If this crisis cannot serve as the wake-up call for those of us who have been privileged enough to not feel the direct effects and harms of this surveillance, what will?

Submissions to this issue that address the various forms of surveillance that have crept into our educational systems and pedagogy will be housed under two categories. The first will include peer-reviewed work, developed and revised with the editorial team and two peer-reviewing scholars. This section is open to publishing pieces that take multiple forms (traditional articles, zines, videos, web essays), but should have a similar level of scholarly engagement and ability to revise as a traditional research article manuscript of about 5000 words. The second category, “Views from the Field,” will be developed in collaboration with the editorial team alone and without formal peer review, allowing for more exploratory formats of shorter submissions.

These can include brief reflections, scholarly experiments, book reviews, interactive media, film, poetry, artwork, games, or other innovative approaches. We particularly encourage students subjected to surveillance in education technology to consider contributing reflections on their experiences, thoughts, and visions for a more liberatory future. Submissions to this section, if in prose, should be 1000–2000 words, or an equivalent length and conceptual depth if taking another format.

What is the NJCH Community History (CH) program?

The New Jersey Council for the Humanities Community History program is an intensive, experiential offering for nonprofit organizations interested in documenting community stories, especially from voices often overlooked or marginalized.

The CH program allows organizations to participate in a structured course to develop an understanding of the principles of public history, investigate tools and modalities for doing that work in concert with their communities, and work with history professionals of various expertise. Each organization receives seed funding to begin their community history project.

All participants should review the njhumanities.org prior to participating in the webinar.
