California Digital Humanities Research Institute (CaliDHRI) is a free,
annual digital ethnic studies institute inspired by CUNY DHRI and hosted by
UC Irvine Libraries and UCLA Libraries. The inaugural CaliDHRI will center
Black digital humanities thematically, and rotate annually through Latinx,
Asian American, and Indigenous Studies topics while focusing on
California-centric research questions and datasets. CaliDHRI 2022 (April
27-29th) will be virtual.
Our 2022 theme, “The Black Press”, will be explored by three keynote
speakers (who will highlight their own Black digital humanities research
and projects) as well as individuals or small teams of participants who
have applied to the Institute with a research question, collection, or
project in mind. We invite participants of all skill levels and from any
discipline who are interested in helping to build a Black digital
humanities community with a California focus. All keynotes are open to the
public. Participation in the CaliDHRI institute is by application only.

The 2022 program is designed for those who want to explore foundational GIS

history. Participants will collaborate on digital humanities resources for
research and teaching using Black collections, with the aim of
strengthening connections across institutional and community boundaries and
advancing digital ethnic studies. Community scholars and anyone interested
in Black Studies, Digital Humanities, and/or California Studies are
especially encouraged to apply (http://it.ly/calidhri2022).
Keynotes will take place on April 27th, 28th, and 29th at 10am PST.
