Meeting Description:

The Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) is organizing
its third conference with the theme “Digitally Human, Artificially
Intelligent”. The DHASA conference is an interdisciplinary platform for
researchers working on all areas of Digital Humanities (including, but not
limited to language, literature, visual art, performance and theatre studies,
media studies, music, history, sociology, psychology, language technologies,
library studies, philosophy, methodologies, software and computation, etc.).
It aims to create the conditions for the emergence of a scientific Digital
Humanities community of practice. The field of Digital Humanities is currently
still rather underdeveloped in Southern Africa. Hence, this conference has
several aims. First, to bring together researchers who are interested in
showcasing their research from the broad field of Digital Humanities. By doing
so, this conference provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art of
Digital Humanities especially in the Southern Africa region. This includes
Digital Humanities research by people from Southern Africa or research related
to the geographical area of Southern Africa.

Second, the conference allows for information sharing among researchers
interested in Digital Humanities as well as network building. By bringing
together researchers working on Digital Humanities from Southern Africa or on
Southern Africa, we hope to boost collaboration and research in this field.

Third, affiliated workshops and tutorials provide information for researchers
to learn about novel technologies and tools. These related events are aimed at
researchers interested in the field of Digital Humanities, to focus on
specific aspects of Digital Humanities or to provide practical information for
researchers to move into the field or advance their knowledge in the field.


Call for Papers: 

The DHASA conference 2021 asks for three types of submissions:

published in the conference proceedings.
