CFP: Connecticut Digital Humanities Conference

Now in its fifth year, the Connecticut Digital Humanities Conference “endeavors to bring together a network of DH practitioners committed to advancing collaborative scholarship in digital humanities research and pedagogy across the New England region. CTDH will provide individuals across New England who are interested in digital humanities with an opportunity to learn new techniques and skills, hear about their colleagues’ DH projects, and become part of a vibrant and diverse community of scholars and practitioners.” The 2027 conference will be held March 18-19 at the Elihu Burritt Library at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. From the call for proposals:

The fifth Connecticut Digital Humanities Conference (CTDH) will take place on March 19-20, 2027 at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain. We seek participation from a broad range of digital humanities practitioners, including participants from higher education, community and cultural organizations, K-12 education, state and local government, and the general public.

CTDH endeavors to bring together a network of DH practitioners committed to advancing collaborative work in digital humanities research and pedagogy across the New England region. CTDH provides individuals with an opportunity to learn new techniques and skills, hear about their colleagues’ DH projects, and become part of a vibrant and diverse community of teachers, learners, and practitioners. CTDH is an excellent opportunity for getting feedback, developing skills, or sharing your work with other colleagues from across New England. While we encourage projects with a Connecticut focus, the conference is not limited to Connecticut-based projects or practitioners. We especially welcome proposals that address digital humanities in diverse contexts, including museums, libraries, and archives; community organizing and activism; and public education.

We invite contributions from faculty researchers, unaffiliated scholars, librarians, museum professionals, technologists, undergraduate and graduate students, K-12 teachers, and community groups. We encourage those submitting proposals to consider formats beyond the traditional 20-minute paper, such as roundtables, multi-speaker panels, lightning talks, posters, and digital demonstrations. Proposals should be less than 300 words in length and should describe the proposed topic, session format, and names and affiliations of participants.

Proposals are due January 22, 2027. Proposals may be submitted via this Google Form. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by early February. More information can be found on the CTDH website. If you have questions, please contact Brian Matzke at bmatzke@ccsu.edu.
