Q: Registration Fees and Campus Location
by Brandon Brownlee 13 May '25

13 May '25

Hello, I am a student from Vancouver Island University applying for funding for the upcoming Canadian Society for Digital Humanities conference in Toronto. I have two questions that I've been unable to determine from looking into the conference: How much is the registration fee for this event? I'm mindful of the membership fee of 45 USD. I'm aware this is being held at George Brown College, but which campus is this on? Thank you, Brandon

Academic freedom on the ballot in this federal election
by Caroline Winter 25 Apr '25

25 Apr '25

Hello, everyone Please forgive my bringing up politics (and for crossposting), but academic freedom is on the ballot in this federal election. Poilievre's platform includes a promise to end federal funding for "woke" research, but of course the term "woke" can be wielded against any research that does not align with a particular ideology. This threat puts Canadian research and the research community at risk. This is from a statement from the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT): "CAUT alarmed by Conservative Party platform on research funding" <https://www.caut.ca/latest/2025/03/caut-alarmed-conservative-party-platform…>: “Our institutions and the federal government need to push back in the strongest possible way against this blatant attempt to interfere in academic research and trample upon academic freedom,” said CAUT executive director David Robinson. “The integrity and independence of research is necessary to protect the public interest. We need to make it clear that there is no room for political interference in research in Canada.” We are seeing the consequences of this type of ideologically motivated policy playing out in the US. No matter what party you support, we as a research community need to stand up to this threat. For more information: CBC: "Conservatives update platform to include omitted 'anti-woke' promise" <https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/conservative-woke-platform-oversight-1.751…> Science: "In Canadian election, top Conservative candidate vows to end 'woke ideology' in science funding" <https://www.science.org/content/article/canadian-election-top-conservative-…> CTV News: "Pierre Poilievre says he'll end 'woke ideology' -- he isn't saying what that means" <https://www.ctvnews.ca/federal-election-2025/article/pierre-poilievre-says-…> Montreal Gazette: "'Woke ideology': Quebec professors denounce Poilievre's pledge to end certain university research funding" <https://www.montrealgazette.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/article850096…> CP: "Pierre Poilievre says he'll end 'woke ideology'--he isn't saying what that means" <https://www.msn.com/en-ca/politics/government/pierre-poilievre-says-he-ll-e…>

Audre Lorde Says “Revolution Is Not A One Time Event”: Resisting Digital Muzzles To Enact Revolutionary Change Abstract: Technology-facilitated gender-based violence has long been an issue. It has made it extremely difficult for journalists, activists, and at this current moment in time — educators. In our current political climate, we are reminded daily of the dangers of not being silent, prioritizing the needs of those in crisis, protecting our students, colleagues, and loved ones against digital harm, and standing up for what is right. Digital humanities has the potential to do all of these things, but are we ready to take the lead? Audre Lorde reminds us all that our silence will NOT protect us. So, how will we use what we know to enact revolutionary change? How will we resist the violence in digital spaces that materializes and manifests in our offline lives? This is a clarion call to all digital humanities scholars, students, librarians, and professors to reset, resist, and revolutionize the field in order to revolutionize the world. Dr. Coghill’s keynote will take place the first night of the workshops. All are welcome to attend this free talk, which has been generously sponsored by the University of Guelph College of Arts Interdisciplinary Programs. Register for the keynote here<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/dhguelph-summer-workshops-keynote-address-dr-ka…>. Registering for the workshops will automatically register you for this free, open talk.

Panel on AI, power, colonially
by Paul Barrett 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

Dear CSDH / SCHN members, I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to gauge interest from anyone who is interested in participating in a panel on the topic of AI, power, and colonialism (in a broad sense) at this year's conference. This panel will be co-organized with the Canadian Association of Postcolonial Studies and will focus on the ways in which LLMs and AI transform notions of power, agency, coloniality, citizenship, etc. We are open to a range of ideas that think not merely about the technical dimensions of AI but also about how the lessons of subaltern studies, postcolonial criticism, and other analyses of power can help us understand this technology. I welcome you to think broadly and creatively about how your work might contribute to this discussion. As is stands, we are looking for 3 - 4 speakers who may be able to give a brief presentation on the topic and then participate in a roundtable discussion with members of both CSDH/SCHN and CAPS. This will be an exciting and compelling talk so please get in touch with me if you are at all interested. I'm happy to chat and answer questions about it. All best, Paul Barrett
