We also prioritize proposals that explicitly address multilingualism in digital humanities, which is itself a matter of social justice.

* AI and its consequences
* Digital and computational approaches to humanistic research and pedagogy
* Digital cultural heritage
* Digital surveillance
* Environmental humanities & climate justice
* Digital humanities tools and infrastructures
* Digital librarianship
* Digital media, art, literature, history, music, film, and games
* Digital public humanities

* Humanistic research on digital objects and cultures
* Humanities knowledge infrastructures
* Labor and organization in digital humanities
* Physical computing
* Resource creation, curation, and engagement
* Use of digital technologies to write, publish, and review scholarship.
Submission types include: papers (12-15 minutes), lightning talks (5 minutes), posters, panels (1 hour and 15 minutes), roundtables (1 hour and 15 minutes), installations and performances, and alternate formats (variable length).
The deadline for ACH 2024 is June 7th, 2024.

Dear colleagues,
We are very pleased to share the recordings and proceedings from the 2024 Global Digital Humanities Symposium<https://2024.msuglobaldh.org/>, which took place from March 18-22.
1.
Recordings of 32 presentations are available on YouTube here<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI4NLfLBr4hxed7LHZuU_c87S5UveaZD->
2.
Proceedings, including slides and recordings for 15 presentations are available here<https://msuglobaldh.hcommons.org/>.
I particularly want to share with this community, that the proceedings include the work of Bill Hart-Davidson, who gave a keynote presentation on the Friday of the Symposium, “Mixing and Mastering Genre Signals: Generative AI, Writing, and the Near Future of Writing Technologies<https://msuglobaldh.hcommons.org/2024/05/23/mixing-and-mastering-genre-sign…>.” A few weeks after the Symposium, Bill suddenly passed away. In addition to giving a keynote presentation in 2024, A Core Faculty member of DH@MSU, Bill served as a champion of the Symposium time and time again over the past decade. He was a mentor and a model of scholarly generosity, embodying the values that we strive to carry out in through our activities.
The Global DH Symposium and the DH@MSU community deeply mourn the loss of Bill and consider it an honor to have been one of the last stages on which he shared his special blend of insight and humor.
Finally, in much happier news, please save the date for the 10<https://msuglobaldh.org/>th<https://msuglobaldh.org/> Global DH Symposium<https://msuglobaldh.org/>, scheduled for April 2-8, 2025. We have begun planning and look forward to releasing a CFP in August.
