Welcome to DiHuCon (Digital Humanities Conference), the annual student-run conference of the Digital Humanities program at the University of Alberta. Please join us on September 21st, 2020 for our one-day conference.

This year’s theme is all about breaking patterns in the age of technology, digital bodies, and digital media. This conference is an opportunity for students to focus on hegemonic patterns of dissemination and distribution, and how to alter their propagation. Showcase how your projects impact the ways in which technology has changed, infected, and joined the mainstream and the humanities.

We are proud to announce our keynote address is Dr. Shama Rangwala! Shama Rangwala is Assistant Professor of Humanities at York University. Shama’s intermedia and interdisciplinary research focuses on the ideological adaptations of patriarchal and racial capitalism throughout history and across discourses and narrative forms. She is co-Principal Investigator with Prof. Michael Litwack of Sounding Race, the founding editor of Pyriscence, a digital culture and politics magazine, and a regular contributor to TV news panels, podcasts, and other media.
