Conference Theme: Impact, Variation, Innovation, Action
If the digital humanities are one successful configuration of humanistic and technological research domains, what other configurations are available, or urgently necessary?
HASTAC’s 2016 conference seeks proposals for papers and presentations that emphasize work in digital, environmental, and medical domains, as well as pathbreaking work that expands the possibilities for new interdisciplinary configurations. Through this agenda, HASTAC 2016 will present research that impacts and intersects with the concerns of local communities, national conversations, or worldwide systems.
