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.

Vote for the DH2026 Review method
by Wonhee Cho 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Dear Members of the PC list, Using the service provided by OpaVote (https://opavote.com/) we will be conducting a vote on the review methodology for DH2026. Following the previous models, the options are as follows: 1. *Double Anonymous (Blind) Review* Both submissions and reviewers remain anonymous. 2. *Single Open Review* Submissions remain anonymous, but the names of the reviewers are disclosed (this has been the model used in previous DH conferences). 3. *Open Review* Both submissions and reviewers are disclosed. 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. - Unlike last year, we are using the OpaVote system so that the PC Chairs do not know who voted for which option. This ensures a fully anonymous voting process. - Although this email is sent to the entire PC 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. - Please submit your vote within 48 hours of receiving the OpaVote email. - 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 for your cooperation.

Re: [Reminder] PC2026 Meeting in 24 Hours
by Tanasescu, Raluca 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Dear Kristen and Colleagues on the DH2026 Programme Committee, Thank you for your message and for sharing the updated Conference Protocol. I am afraid I was completely unaware of last week’s meeting. It seems that the earlier PC2026 welcome message in July was automatically placed by my inbox into a separate folder (please see attached screenshot), and I did not receive any of the subsequent message and reminders. For some reason, only Kristen's post-meeting email reached me directly. I really apologise for missing the meeting and for any inconvenience this may have caused! Please rest assured that I am fully at the disposal of the PC moving forward. I also want to confirm my agreement that the conference language should be English, with local adjustments where appropriate to reflect the cultural context of each year’s host. I look forward to the next meeting and to the conference in Korea!

Dear DH2026 PC, It was wonderful to meet you today, and I look forward to seeing the results of your fruitful work over the course of the next year. For continued reference, I share the Google Doc version<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Scfp5dh2LeiIh3qURB0knaU_-XjNlHxh7BwfFaL…> of the Conference Protocol (CP). I can confirm that this was the document voted on by COB in April. I have also corrected the error in the website version<https://adho.org/conference/conference-protocol/> of the Conference Protocol, so they are now in line with each other and reflect the change of the conference language to English plus the opportunity for a second language. It remains up to the PC how expansive or simple to consider the question of language as it relates to the CFP and submission/review process. Thank you all for your work on this Committee!
