CFP: Critical Digital Humanities International Conference
University of Toronto
September 30– October 1, 2022
**Submissions Closed; Registration Opening Soon!**
The Critical Digital Humanities Initiative (CDHI) at the University of Toronto is hosting our 2022 international conference, to take place Friday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1, 2022.
This year’s Critical Digital Humanities International Conference foregrounds critical DH research, praxis, and community partnerships. Critical DH is an intersectional field that emphasizes questions of power, social justice, and critical theory in making, analyzing, and using digital technologies. This is a version of digital humanities that places anti-racist, de/anti/postcolonial, feminist, and queer/trans/non-binary work at its core, and which understands our current shift in digital technology as an opportunity for social and political transformation. Critical DH foregrounds creative praxis, co-creation, public engagement, and community-based research.
Confirmed keynote speakers include Jennifer Wemigwans, President of Invert Media and Assistant Professor, University of Toronto; Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Canada 150 Research Chair in New Media Studies, Simon Fraser University; and Lisa Nakamura, Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan.
Additionally, we will host in a special virtual plenary session Safiya Noble, Co-Founder and Faculty Director of the University of California-Los Angeles Center for Critical Internet Inquiry (C2i2), Ángel David Nieves, Professor of Africana Studies, History, and Digital Humanities at Northeastern University, and Alex Gil, Senior Lecturer II and Associate Research Faculty of Digital Humanities in the Spanish and Portuguese Department at Yale University.
All faculty, librarians, museum practitioners, staff, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and community partners are welcome to attend!
