Dear colleagues,
The Global Digital Humanities Symposium Planning Committee is pleased to announce that the 6th annual Symposium will take place April 12-15, 2021. This virtual event will take place synchronously over four days, with approximately three hours each day of programming.
A full call for proposals will be forthcoming in September 2020, and free registration will open by January 2021. Find out more, including information about past Symposia at http://msuglobaldh.org.
We are pleased as well to inform you that the Committee is working to support multilingualism at the Symposium and will provide live captions for all presentations. In light of our goal this year to support multilingualism (CFP in 2-3 languages, reviews supported in those languages, and live translation/interpretation among those languages during the virtual event), we are keen to learn from the GO:DH community. If you have experience running an event that handled live-translation, especially virtually, or have any expertise in this area, we would appreciate any wisdom that you can share about that experience and how it was accomplished. Please feel free to reach out to me (email [kmapes@msu.edu], Twitter [@kmapesy], etc) or any of our Planning Committee membershttp://msuglobaldh.org/about/.
We are already indebted to this community for its support and expertise in so many ways - thank you in advance for any advice you can share!
Sincerely,
Kristen Mapes, on behalf of the Symposium Planning Committee
