2023 Day of DH

centerNet is very excited to share the news that Day of DH 2023 will take place on Wednesday 31 May online, with the hashtag #dayofdh2023 (e.g on Mastodon, Twitter). This year, we are adopting the theme of “humanizing data.” As the humanities are under pressure internationally, how can DH centers respond to diverse challenges? We are particularly interested in hearing about strategies from the global DH community about their political, financial, or pedagogical challenges and their strategies for overcoming them.

Day of DH

2020 Day of DH

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities is an event where digital humanists from around the world document what they do. Day of DH began in 2009, at the University of Alberta and has been hosted by other institutions since that time. Day of DH has also been adopted by specific language communities that extend beyond national borders. For example, a Spanish language day has been held and potentially a Francophone day

CFP: Calling for Proposals to Host Day of DH in 2017 and 2018

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH) is an open community initiative sponsored by centerNet that each year brings together scholars interested in the digital humanities from around the world to document what they do on one day. The goal is to create a website that weaves together a picture of the participants’ activities on the day and which answers the question, ‘Just what do digital humanists really do?’ Participants document their day through photographs and text, all of which is published on a community online platform, forming a record of the day.

DiRT becomes a centerNet initiative

The DiRT directory and centerNet are pleased to announce that the DiRT directory has been adopted as the newest centerNet initiative. As a directory of tools for digital research, maintained by an international community of volunteers, DiRT will benefit from closer ties to centerNet’s member centers around the world, as well as to centerNet’s DHCommons project directory.

Assistantships for the New Scholars Seminar @ DH 2015

At DH2015, centerNet and the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) are providing joint funds to assist 10 graduate students to attend a New Scholars Seminar (NSS), a one-day event immediately preceding DH 2015 at the University of Western Sydney (UWS) in Sydney, Australia next July. It would be designed to help new scholars affiliated with CHCI centres develop a shared vision of the next generation of digital humanities research and encourage the networked research collaborations that will help bring that vision about.
