Digital Humanities 2024

The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) invites submission of proposals for its annual conference, August 6-9, 2024, at George Mason University, Arlington, Virginia, United States. Theme: “Reinvention & Responsibility” The DH2024 conference theme, “Reinvention & Responsibility,” highlights two interconnected imperatives for the digital humanities community. Reinvention is a call to act with creativity, compassion, and intentionality to better meet the needs of our communities, while responsibility asks us to address those inequities and injustices that the global pandemic has recast in increasingly sharp relief. Recent years have forced us to reinvent ourselves as colleagues, collaborators, and educators in ways that have had both positive and negative impacts. We have learned how to rapidly move our work online, cope with the unexpected, and use tools in ways intended and not intended. While some of the lessons learned have been immediate, some of what we have experienced will take time to process. The theme of reinvention and responsibility encourages us to reflect on these experiences, acknowledge our responsibilities towards our Digital Humanities (DH) communities, and—with those reflections—take steps.
