Andy JancoDH2024 Poster Book
The following book contains presentation highlights from DH2024, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) annual conference hosted by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University on behalf of ADHO Constituent Organization the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH). It was held August 6-9 2024, in Arlington, Virginia. The theme of the conference was “Reinvention & Responsibility”: a call to rethink our underlying assumptions about how we do conferences. This reflects the fact that this was the first ADHO conference whose entire planning process occurred after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving us an opportunity to stop and reconsider the traditional elements of the conference. What are we doing? Why? For who? And who is left out? The Local Organizing team and Program Committee Chairs were dedicated to creating a conference that took seriously its responsibilities to its participants, the wider digital humanities (DH) community, and the rest of the world. This involved rethinking and in many ways reinventing the DH conference experience, building on the work of prior DH conferences disrupted by the pandemic (especially DH2023) to host the first intentionally hybrid ADHO DH conference. As a continuation of this process, we have also chosen to reinvent the conference proceedings. Traditionally, after the DH conferences, selected short and long papers were turned into articles for a special issue of a journal. However, we have instead chosen to focus on an often overlooked format that is part of the core of academic scholarship in a conference setting. It is not a format unique to DH, but it is a centerpiece and highlight of the annual DH conferences: the poster.
