The Recovery Hub for American Women Writers
Due Date: 03-15-2026
The Recovery Hub for American Women Writers seeks digital projects at various stages of completion to engage in our multistage peer review, followed by a public-facing showcase. The public-facing showcase will be published on the Project Showcase section on the Recovery Hub website and in an issue of Reviews in Digital Humanities. We will publicize the Project Showcase on the Hub’s social media accounts and those of the Hub’s partner organization, the Society for the Study of American Women Writers.
We encourage applications from researchers with projects that are in progress or incomplete and that may benefit from feminist peer-review conversations. Grounded in feminist practice, the Hub peer reviewers use an open model that emphasizes one-on-one mentorship and encourages project directors to build upon and cite the work of other feminists. The Recovery Hub aims for at least 50% of peer-reviewed projects to recover Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and LGBTQI+ stories, texts, experiences, and voices.
This year has been a challenging one for humanities organizations across the board. Although we welcome all digital projects, the Hub especially seeks to highlight digital projects by graduate students and early career researchers who were affected by the large-scale dismantling of research funding and ideological attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage projects that have lost funding or no longer have funding structures to apply.
Expected timeline:
The deadline to submit a digital humanities project for review is 15 March 2026
Peer reviewers will be assigned in spring 2026
The first round of peer review is expected in May 2026
The second, collaborative round of peer review is expected in June 2026
Our goal is to publish the project showcases by July 2026 on the Hub website with
Reviews in Digital Humanities followed by a later date
