DiHuCon 2022: Happening Virtually This Year!
---
Welcome to DiHuCon (Digital Humanities Conference), the annual student-run conference of the Digital Humanities program at the University of Alberta. Please join us March 14-15, 2022 for our two-day conference.
This year's theme is Kindred Cyberspaces, an invitation to consider the networks of infrastructure and relationships that constitute and permeate our experience of and within digital environments, to reflect on past expressions of these relations, their current iterations, and dream of alternatives. How might epistemologically diverse communities relate internally and with kindred communities--human, non-human, or more-than-human--within the context of cyber places?
Our Call for Proposals is now closed.

Soft chaos
Soft chaos
Soft Chaos is a worker-owned game design cooperative that creates critically-engaged, intimate, vulnerable, and unique interactive experiences. Their work includes experimental videogames, tabletop games, larps, art installations, and interactive performances. As award-winning designers, Allison Cole, Jess Rowan Marcotte, and D. Squinkifer draw on their lived experiences as members of marginalized and underrepresented groups to bring radically playful perspectives and positive social impacts to their work. In short, they create cool stuff while modelling alternative practices to the exploitative working conditions in the game industry and encouraging others to do the same.
