    McGill’s mission with Spectrums of DH is to open the definitions of Digital
    Humanities to include not only computational studies on humanities topics,
    but methods and approaches in the field that fall into discussions around
    inclusion, ethics, and diversity. As we chart new territories for what it
    means to understand the field and its future, these topics are of
    particular importance.

    Cette conférence fait partie de la série de conférences virtuelles,
    Spectrums of DH. La mission de McGill avec Spectrums of DH est d’ouvrir les
    définitions des humanités numériques pour inclure non seulement des études
    informatiques sur des sujets de sciences humaines, mais aussi des méthodes
    et des approches sur le terrain qui s’inscrivent dans des discussions sur
    l’inclusion, l’éthique et la diversité. Alors que nous dessinons de
    nouveaux territoires pour comprendre ce que signifie comprendre le domaine
    et son avenir, ces sujets revêtent une importance particulière.
