Digital Humanities (DH) at Michigan State University (MSU) is proud and thrilled to celebrate the 11th Global DH Symposium with a combination of virtual and in-person events over the course of 13-17 April 2026.* This year, GlobalDH is partnering with the Universidad de Monterrey in México (UDEM) to hold an in-person portion of the symposium within their interdisciplinary INQUORUM event series.
We invite work at the intersections of critical DH, that engages with anti-colonial and post-colonial frameworks, that supports feminist and anti-racist praxis, and that crosses political and disciplinary borders. We define the term “humanities” expansively to open up space for a range of issues that encourages interdisciplinary understandings of the humanities
*The in-person symposium at MSU 13 April and at UDEM 17 April will be in English. The virtual symposium 14-15 April supports presentation and attendance in English and Spanish through live interpretation.
This Symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes proposals by the end of the day Wednesday, 15 October 2025 midnight in your timezone.
This year, we especially anticipate and welcome presentations on the following topics, and we are especially interested in hearing about specific practical and theoretical examples from the Global Majority context:
- Minimal, material, and sustainable approaches to DH
- Global AI practices, opportunities, and challenges in DH
- Resilience and collaboration in the face of global crises
- Student-centered frameworks and practices in global digital pedagogy
We are always interested to hear about the following topics, and their connections to the digital, as reflected in global research conversations and ethical DH practices across disciplines:
- Public and community-engaged digital humanities
- Indigeneity, anti-colonialism, and digital cultural heritage
- Digital humanities approaches to climate and healthcare
- Surveillance, censorship, and/or data privacy in a global context
- Disability justice and accessibility
- Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance
- Feminist and queer perspectives in DH
- Borders, migration, and diasporas with an emphasis on the effects of warfare and conflict
- Multilingualism and language justice
- DH methods in interdisciplinary and cross-regional research
