DFW-Area Digital Humanities Colloquium

The DFW-Area Digital Humanities Colloquium is a series of conversations about the future of the digital humanities, staged as trans-disciplinary dialogues between technologists and scholars. These dialogues will offer critiques of the capacity of the informatics tools, content aggregators, and data collectors that have been typical of digital humanities output to produce humanistically relevant knowledge. We celebrate the optimism about what DH tools "can" do or may enable in the future, but believe the time has come to hear from innovative scholars who are using these tools for humanist inquiry, and provide a forum for conscientious critique of the state of the digital humanities and speculate about what is next for digital scholarship across the disciplines.

Scholars, students, librarians, and staff from area institutions wishing to participate in the Colloquium should contact disco@unt.edu.
