Spring Conference: Digital Humanities Against Dark Times
This April 14 – 15, 2023, the Vanderbilt Center for Digital Humanities will host a two-day conference titled “Digital Humanities Against Dark Times.” This two-day conference provides a venue for discussing digital humanities work that engages with emerging and ongoing crises of our moment, such as:
-
Rising political extremism and polarization
-
Racism, colonial exploitation, gender marginalization, backlash
-
Data capitalism and new forms of artificial intelligence
-
Military conflict and global political instability
-
Catastrophic climate change
-
The uncertain future of the humanities in the academy
All are welcome, with a special invitation to early-career scholars and graduate students. We hope to generate dialogue between different critical and methodological perspectives, including those that focus on promoting and preserving communities of hope, resilience, and resistance.
