    To Whom it May Concern,

    I hope this finds you well! Could you please circulate the following CFP to
    the DHSI listserv for a special edited collection on Twine and
    teaching, as our deadline for accepting abstracts is approaching? If you
    have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Thanks for your time
    and support.

    Best,
    Nicole McLuhan

    *I acknowledge that I work and learn on the traditional territory of the
    Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishnaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The
    University of Waterloo is situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised
    and given to Six Nations, which includes six miles on each side of the
    Grand River.*

    ***********
    EnTwine: A Critical and Creative Companion to Teaching with Twine proposes
    to feature multiple voices of users and teachers of the digital
    storytelling platform Twine across creative, gaming, scholarly,
    pedagogical, and literary contexts. We seek to include an expansive
    pedagogical community inside and outside of university spaces that engage
    deeply with the possibilities that Twine offers for creative and critical
    expression. We invite short abstracts of up to 300 words and short
    biographies of up to 100 words *by Friday, October 29, 2021.*

    This collection serves as a proposed companion to Twining (2020) by
    Anastasia Salter and Stuart Moulthrop, which has provided an invaluable
    perspective on one of the longest standing hypertext literature platforms
    in use today. EnTwine looks to a broader community of teachers,
    researchers, gamers, and practitioners of Twine. It proposes to gather
    theorizations, case studies, and how-to guides from gaming, media studies,
    digital humanities, critical code studies, digital writing, literary
    platform studies, composition studies, and more. This collection will
    feature an expansive pedagogical community that engages deeply with the
    possibilities that Twine offers for teaching and community building.

    Contributions may include, but are not limited to:
    • Twine in Universities, GLAM institutions, STEAM;
    • Learning communities inside and outside the College/University;
    • Artist communities;
    • Collaboration and community building;
    • Digital storytelling and community building;
    • Transcultural and multicultural approaches;
    • Non-English and multilingual practices and works;
    • Digital literacies and multiliteracies;
    • Teaching and research;
    • Teaching and art/creativity;
    • Hands-on and experiential learning;
    • Accessibility and inclusion;
    • Archives, preservation, and knowledge sustainability.

    For selected abstracts, eventual contributions should be 4000 words or the
    equivalent for creative works. The collection will be proposed to Amherst
    College Press, which uses the open-source and open-access publishing
    platform, Fulcrum (https://www.fulcrum.org/), and publishes in both print
    and open-access digital instances.

    We encourage submissions from authors of underrepresented genders. This
    includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and those
    who are otherwise marginalized. We also encourage submissions from visible
    minorities, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+
    persons. We are especially interested in submissions that include
    multimedia materials, and we welcome discussion about how to support
    submissions that focus on non-English works.

    Please send questions and submissions to Emily Christina Murphy and Lai-Tze
    Fan at TwineCollection2021@gmail.com
