The Florida Digital Humanities Consortium seeks proposals for its 2026 conference, “America 250 & Florida Digital Humanities: Local, National, & International Connections.” From the Call for Proposals:
The Florida Digital Humanities Consortium invites scholars, researchers, educators, technologists, cultural practitioners, and public historians to submit proposals for papers, panels, roundtables, workshops, and poster presentations that explore how digital tools and innovative practices are reshaping the humanities and expanding public engagement.
This year’s conference foregrounds the role of digital humanities in gathering, curating, interpreting, preserving, and sharing the humanities for diverse audiences. We seek contributions that demonstrate emerging methodologies, practices, platforms, and tools that help bring history, literature, culture, ethics, and lived experience into the public sphere in meaningful and accessible ways.
Thematic Focus: In alignment with the national commemoration of America 250, proposals that examine Florida’s role in the American story—past, present, and future—are especially encouraged. Submissions may address Florida’s local histories, Indigenous and diasporic narratives, environmental humanities, cultural memory, migration, civic identity, or regional expressions of the American experiment.
Submission formats accepted include papers (15 min), workshops/panels/roundtables (60 min), or poster presentations. Deadline for proposal submission is April 3, 2026. The conference will take place at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg on Friday, October 30, 2026.
