Apply to be the CDSC’s Virtual Artist Residency
Caribbean Digital Scholarship Collective (CDSC) are excited to announce the Call for Proposals for The Caribbean Digital Virtual Artist Residency 2024!
In partnership with @aliceyardinsta the residency supports artists in developing digital media around Caribbean studies and its diaspora. The Caribbean Digital Virtual Artist’s Residency seeks to support the development of “born-digital” creative work primarily based on digital media and tools rather than analog work digitized for presentation or storage. Artists may work in any digital media, including but not limited to images, sound, and text. Also integral to the residency is the artist’s engagement with Caribbean Digital Humanities, a multidisciplinary field of study that brings digital technologies into the research, analysis, visualization, and application of the traditional humanities. During the residency, the artist is expected to engage in dialogue with Caribbean Digital Humanities scholars to enrich their creative and research practices.
The deadline to apply is April 1, 2024, at 11:59 EST. Make sure to go to The Caribbean Digital Website for more details.

Call for Submission: Journal of Folklore and Education
The 2024 Journal of Folklore and Education seeks submissions that explore “disruption” and “migration” in relation to the process of reimagining home and tradition. They are interested in contributions that situate creativity and cultural production in moments and landscapes of flux and transformation, and how those affected by these forces forge strategies that disrupt established paradigms. Thus, topics such as identity, inclusion and exclusion, memory, transformation, and community also inform this issue.
They are interested in contributions that address, for example:
People’s experiences during and in response to migrations and/or displacements of different sorts (domestic, international, rural-urban, voluntary and forced, in response to climate, for economic reasons, etc.)
Cultural realignment (coalition building, mutual aid, rethinking/rebuilding communities);
Stories or examples of how people disrupt narratives of harm and pathology related to migration with cultural production that represents resilience, agency, transformation, generative practices
Praxis—the work we do—examples of how the work of educators, folklorists, or culture bearers/artists directly intervene in or disrupt conventions, persistent issues, or chronic conditions.
The Journal of Folklore and Education welcomes contributions in many formats, including interviews, multimedia, photo essays, notes (a shorter format report), and lesson plans. Submissions are due March 15, 2024. For more information, go to their website.
