Who has Access to Digital Humanities? Diversity and Inclusivity in Digital Humanities in Ireland and the UK

22 October 2021, 09:30-15:30 Please register for a place at the virtual event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/who-has-access-to-digital-humanities-tickets-...

The convenors of an Arts and Humanities Research Council/Irish Research Council funded project to undertake research and consultation towards the implementation of a permanent Digital Humanities association for the UK and Ireland (see list of team members at https://dhnetwork.org/) invite submissions from individuals to co-create an event relating to DH and inclusion.

One of the dreams of information and communication technologies is that of equitable and open access to information, to services, and to opportunities. We know, of course, that this is only true on the surface, and that technological systems tend to recreate the inequities of the cultures and societies that build them. As such, the dream of the digital humanities as a ‘big tent’ (that is, capacious, broad and inclusive) is also one that we need to constantly query and challenge if the field is to have a claim to being inclusive and diverse.

This is a particularly pressing issue as we explore the potential for a regional DH network to support the use and promotion of DH methods in the UK and Ireland.
