The recent development in Digital Humanities marks a transformative era in academia, where the humanities are increasingly integrating with digital technologies, computational methods, and AI, enhancing research, teaching, and creative outputs. This conference explores how DH sees such development and the evolving relationship between humanities and digital technologies. It focuses on topics that reshape humanities scholarship, from data analysis and pedagogy to creative production. This fosters interdisciplinary dialogues and examines innovations and implications in fields traditionally centered around humanistic inquiry. AI technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, and generative models have expanded the digital humanists' toolkit. Their ability to process and analyze vast datasets opens up new research possibilities in archives, literature, history, philosophy, language, cultural studies and other areas, However, these opportunities come with challenges such as ethical concerns, reinforcing biases, and other implications.
This conference invites submissions from academics, researchers, students, industry professionals, early career scholars, and practitioners related to the theme, including but not limited to the following topics.
