We look forward to welcoming delegates from all over the world the to Digital Humanities Community of Practice’s Inaugural Conference on Monday 17 June 2024.
Established in September 2022, the DH CoP stands as a beacon of innovation within our university community, driving research excellence, fostering ambition, and nurturing a culture of experimentation and collaboration among all research themes. Through a diverse range of activities and initiatives, the CoP aims to increase awareness and understanding of DH within the University, while enhancing its national and international profile in the field. The CoP serves as a platform for open dialogue on DH issues, facilitates the exchange of expertise, and provides essential support for both ongoing and prospective projects. Through networking events, methodological workshops, grant development support, and training sessions (in collaboration with the DH Hub) as well as fostering internal research synergies and cultivating external partnerships, the DH CoP serves as a cornerstone for the advancement of digital scholarship and collaborative research at Reading.
As we convene for this landmark event, we celebrate the culmination of our collective efforts in shaping a vibrant and dynamic DH landscape. The conference theme aligns with the DH CoP’s mission and invites us to explore the rich intersections between Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence. Reflecting on Reading’s research strengths in Cultural Heritage, Ethics and Synthetic Media, our discussions promise to illuminate pathways, challenge conventional boundaries, and inspire innovative research.
