Amid rapid societal and technological transformations and historic elections worldwide, ACH fosters dialogue, spaces, and solidarity on equity and justice across local, transborder, and global contexts. ACH 2025 underscores the importance of addressing societal challenges in the digital humanities and beyond, such as racial and gender discrimination, while also highlighting the ramifications of computing and environmental crises. Join us in navigating diverse political milieus and shaping a virtual conference that is just and inclusive.
ACH 2025 values process- and relationship-oriented modes of working over the end result, fostering hope-making, and we seek to prioritize proposals that focus on care, community, and collaboration in diverse contexts. We are especially interested in receiving proposals from participants with a range of expertise and a variety of roles, including alt-ac positions, employment outside of higher education, and graduate and undergraduate students. We further invite proposals from participants who are newcomers to digital humanities.
