Call for Chapter Proposals 

We invite proposals for submissions in English or German to an edited volume
entitled

„Virtual Reality in den Geisteswissenschaften – Konzepte, Methoden und
interkulturelle Anwendungen 
[Virtual Reality in the Humanities – Concepts, Methods, and Intercultural
Applications]” 

edited by Karsten Senkbeil and Timo Ahlers. The volume is scheduled to appear
in 2023 with the publisher Peter Lang Verlag (Berlin, ISSN: 1868-372X) as part
of the series “Hildesheim Studies in Intercultural Communication“.

Aims and Scope

Virtual Reality Studies have become an interdisciplinary field of research
with a remarkable breadth. As of yet though, approaches and applications from
the perspective of the Humanities and the Social Sciences are relatively rare.
This edited volume is intended to contribute to this developing branch within
VR studies by focusing on concepts, methodologies, developing theories and
practice that make use of decidedly Humanities-based aims and interests. This
includes studies on immersive VR, but innovative approaches with 360° videos,
etc. We particularly invite studies that employ qualitative methodologies for
in-depth research on linguistic, (inter-/trans-) cultural, social,
pedagogical, and other aspects of human interaction in and with VR. We hope to
contribute to the establishment of a multi-methodological field of research on
immersive technologies, and to further illuminate moments of inter- and
transcultural communication in virtual environments.

We invite contributions written in German or English.

Schedule
- 01 October 2022: send chapter proposal to VRbuchprojekt at uni-hildesheim.de

E-mail: VRbuchprojekt at uni-hildesheim.de 

Those chapters, whose proposal is accepted (by 15 October 2022), are expected
to be completed by 15 February 2023 and should consist of 25,000 to 40,000
characters incl. blanks. 

Peer Review
Each chapter will receive two reviews, one of them coming  from the group of
authors. We expect chapter contributors to be ready to provide one review for
their colleagues’ work.

Funding and licensing
This book project will be financed through project funds provided by the
“Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur Niedersachsen / [Ministry of Science
and Culture of the State of Lower Saxony]”. The volume will be published in a
hardcover version (one copy for each author included) and as an e-book. We are
also planning for open access publication of the book (CC-BY) after an embargo
of 12 months.
