by Wonhee Cho 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

Dear PC members, Please find below the meeting minutes from our session on October 27. Due to the end of Daylight Saving Time, there was some variation in participants' connection times; thank you all for your understanding. I will ensure closer attention to time conversions in future communications. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RYFubDFVBIStFObL8Cca4TrBGhCl4LL4AmvBKIS… Also, an online voting system email from “OpaVote” will be sent to all *PC Voting members *as a separate email for keynote speaker votes. Please note the following: - The vote will be carried out via the OpaVote system. OpaVote will send individual voting emails to the addresses submitted to ADHO (in most cases, institutional addresses). *Please also check your spam folder.* - We are using the OpaVote system so that the PC Chairs do not know who voted for whom. This ensures a fully anonymous voting process. - Although this email is sent to the entire PC member mailing list, *only the designated delegates from each CO and the two PC Chairs (a total of 14 voting members)* will receive the OpaVote email and have the right to vote. - Voting will end this Friday (October 31st), 10pm Korean Standard Time. - If you do not receive a voting email from OpaVote (after also checking your spam folder), please contact me directly at *wonheecho(a)gmail.com <wonheecho(a)gmail.com>*. Thank you very much and let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Best wishes, Wonhee & Misun.

ODP: Re: DH 2026 PC Meeting
by Jan Rybicki 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

Dear All, Before we meet, I'd like to say that I'm fine with Youngmin's suggestions. His two candidates establish a very nice balance between a keynote who's a well-known member of the DH community, and an eminent figure outside our community. Also: it would be so cool to have a real writer (and a Nobel Prize winner at that!) as the other keynote. For DH2016, we actually asked John le Carre first (he owed me: I translated 11 of his books into Polish); he was tempted, but eventually declined. See you Monday, Jan ________________________________ Od: Youngmin Kim <yk4147(a)gmail.com> Wysłane: piątek, 24 października 2025 15:02 Do: Wonhee Cho <wonheecho(a)gmail.com> DW: pc2026(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org <pc2026(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org> Temat: [PC2026] Re: DH 2026 PC Meeting UWAGA: Wiadomość pochodzi od zewnętrznego nadawcy. Dear Wonhee, Misun, and all, I am not certain as to whether I will be able to attend the scheduled Zoom meeting, as I will be taking an international flight to return to Korea on Monday, October 27. Despite my efforts to establish a connection via cell phone, I may be unable to contribute to the conversation as a result of my travel restrictions. Consequently, I would like to provide a concise summary of my suggestions for keynote presenters via email in advance, if it is permissible. I highly recommend Diane Jakacki and Ms. Han Kang as keynote speakers for DH2026 in Daejeon. Diane is an ideal speaker for the conference theme of "Engagement" due to her pedagogical innovations, commitment to ethical and inclusive scholarship, and leadership in global digital humanities. Her work provides a comprehensive and deliberate perspective on the future of DH by integrating critical theory, digital infrastructure, and collaborative pedagogy. The literary voice of Ms. Han Kang, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature recipient, is profound and resonates with the ethical and emotive dimensions of digital culture. Her presence would not only contribute intellectual and symbolic depth to the conference, but it would also considerably improve our capacity to attract sponsors and generate a broader public interest. We may contemplate inviting her in a special capacity, distinct from the three designated keynote speakers, in light of her prominence. Of course, her willingness to accept such an invitation is still uncertain, and I offer this recommendation with the utmost care. I am not a voting member of the Program Committee in my capacity as Conference Liaison. I am an ex-officio member of the organization, which entitles me to attend meetings. I understand I am not involved in the formal decision-making process. I present these recommendations as a thoughtful and respectful proposal with the expectation that they will be a valuable addition to the PC's deliberations. I am willing to compose the invitation email in both cases.

DH2026 PC Meeting Minutes and Keynote Nomination Updates
by Wonhee Cho 11 Oct '25

11 Oct '25

Dear DH2026 PC Members, Please find below the meeting minutes from yesterday’s session: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WQ-LbrrD4VPAlcHo9bL4pGL0a0KHziDDn8MabzB… The PC has decided to extend the nomination period for keynote speakers by ten days, until October 21 (KST). Although this decision is recorded in the meeting minutes, we would like to highlight the following discussion for emphasis. ---- *Keynote Nomination Discussion* 1. It was noted that one of the keynote or plenary lectures of the conference will be given by the Antonio Zampolli Prize recipient, in accordance with the Award Protocol. 2. The committee acknowledged that, although not required, there has often been a keynote speaker nominated by the local organizing committee to represent the state of Digital Humanities in the host country. 3. The committee further noted that previous DH conferences have also invited keynote speakers from outside the ADHO community, and that this precedent should be taken into account during the nomination process. 4. Based on these considerations, it was agreed that there may be up to three keynote speakers in total. In that case, attention should be given to gender balance and diversity of representation in the nomination process. ---- Please continue to submit your nominations for keynote speakers using the link below: https://forms.gle/nWZEgyWLxCQCMAq57 And please use the link below for the next PC Meeting time: https://www.when2meet.com/?32911778-c5Zz3 Thank you very much for your continued engagement and contributions.
