/*Intersectionality in Digital Humanities*
The last few years have witnessed a movement towards a more open and
inclusive Digital Humanities field. The Alliance for Digital Humanities
Organizations has appointed a Multilingualism/Multiculturalism committee
to address these issues and accepted a special interest group,
GlobalOutlook ::Digital Humanities, to try to break down barriers
between countries in the Global North and the Global
South.Intersectional studies are also developing within DH to try to
bring a plurality of voices into the conversation.
