studies.Areas of engagement include but are not limited to:
– Social justice

– Computational and digital approaches to humanistic research and
pedagogy
– Digital pedagogy, research, and activism during COVID-19
– Digital media, art, literature, history, music, film, and games
– Digital librarianship
– Digital humanities tools and infrastructures
– Humanistic research on digital objects and cultures
– Knowledge infrastructures
– Physical computing
– Resource creation, curation, and engagement
– Use of digital technologies to write, publish, and review scholarship
As an organization committed to cross-disciplinary engagement, ACH welcomes
interdisciplinary proposals. We also are especially interested in receiving
proposals from participants with a range of expertise and from a variety of
roles, including alt-ac positions, employment outside of higher education,
and graduate students. We further invite proposals from participants who
are newcomers to digital humanities.For questions and concerns about the
CFP, conference program, submissions, Code of Conduct, or accessibility,
