Each year, CenterNet organizes a #DayofDH event. This has taken a variety of forms, whether on Twitter, or through blogs, physical or—last year—virtual meetings, and more. We invite applications from digital humanities centers interested in forming an international team to organize Day of DH during the Spring of 2021.

Last year, since everyone was working virtually because of COVID-19, meetups were arranged by time-zones; we had promotional Zoom backdrops and an Animal Crossing meetup, lectures, and a well-trafficked hashtag (#DayofDH2020). But we hope that you will bring your own ideas for the best ways to bring together the global community of digital humanists to celebrate the incredible range of ways and places that our work gets done.

Day of DH offers the opportunity for centers and students to gain international visibility and expand their professional networks.  We are particularly hoping to hear from centers who include opportunities for graduate student involvement in their plans. Teams will work with members of the CenterNet Executive Council to coordinate a day of programming. CenterNet can cover limited expenses.

Please recirculate to your own networks, and send expressions of interest to cwillan@uh.edu by December 31st, 2020.
