CFP: Navigating Digital Humanities Careers Beyond the Ivory Tower | Debates in the Digital Humanities Transforming scholarly publications into living digital works

A lot has been happening in the digital humanities and the university. My colleagues @kallewesterling.bsky.social, Jeanelle Horcasitas, and I are interested in having a broader discussion and debate on DH outside of the ivory tower

CFP is open through March 15
