This year, the Nebraska Forum on Digital Humanities will feature digital scholarship that engages with communities in meaningful ways. The participants are each involved in projects and research that work to uncover traditionally silenced or under-represented communities, challenging systems of discrimination. With this forum, we hope to encourage the digital humanities community to create and employ critical technologies and methodologies in concert with and in relationship to more public forms of scholarship. These projects provide potential models of engagement using the digital medium to move scholarship and scholarly activity through communities. Topics of discussion will include: What contributions can digital scholars offer community-based social justice initiatives? What new audiences for digital scholarship are there and how do they form? How do digital projects circulate scholarly work in communities? What are the implications of engaging in public-facing scholarship?
The 2017 Nebraska Forum on Digital Humanities will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on April 6-7, 2017. The forum will open with a keynote panel and reception on Thursday, April 6th at the Center for Great Plains Studies. April 6th events are open to the public.
On Friday, April 7th, invited scholars will share their research and engage in discussion. Registration is required for all April 7th events. Please register here.
