**with apologies for cross-posting** Dear colleagues, *Reframing Failure *Seminar Series Most of us recognise that failure is an unavoidable part of any scholarly endeavour - let alone life - especially for people who work across disciplines. Yet, for something so central to our experience, it often sits at the periphery of our writing, training, and professional discourse. The *Reframing Failure *seminar series explores how we can reframe failure within the digital humanities: the ways we can learn from it, talk about it, and hopefully reconsider our collective relationship to it. Conceived as a series of conversations, *Reframing Failure* presents an opportunity to reflect on practice. It welcomes those from within and outside the digital humanities and takes an international and interdisciplinary approach to failure. Reframing Failure is a virtual seminar series hosted by the Digital Humanities Research Hub <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sas.ac.uk%2Fdigital-humanities&data=05%7C01%7Cannamaria.sichani%40sas.ac.uk%7Cfe909537572346da8c2708daab755844%7C185280ba7a0042ea940819eafd13552e%7C0%7C0%7C638010817717074291%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=0KZI535F6PRHhr1UZmDbl5eLio8YurkpF1iAphOXDV0%3D&reserved=0> at the School of Advanced Study, University of London.

A decade later, what does failure mean for the digital humanities community today? If there is value in failure, how do we create the space to fail ‘better’?
