The Greater Boston Digital Research and Pedagogy Symposium is a regional,
one-day gathering of students, scholars, librarians, and other
practitioners from the New England area working at the intersection of
technology and the humanities.

Hosted at a different institution each year, the Symposium provides an
opportunity for promoting cross-institutional collaboration and showcases
the diverse perspectives of our field.

The 2025 symposium will be held on Friday, April 11 at the Central Library
of the Boston Public Library, with select sessions streamed online.

The Program Committee welcomes submissions covering a wide variety of
topics related to the application of technology, computation, machine
learning, and artificial intelligence to humanities research, pedagogy, and
professional practice.

Given this year’s location at the Boston Public Library, the program
committee is especially eager to receive submissions that highlight digital
humanities scholarship and projects that intend to reach or engage with a
public audience, or submissions that include discussion of the
opportunities and challenges associated with developing a public-focused
and/or community-engaged practice.

Other themes of particular interest for this year’s symposium include:

  *  Sustainability, environmental impact, and reducing digital waste
  *  Digital humanities professional practice, departmental development,
and labor
  *  Preservation of digital objects and scholarship
  *  AI and humanistic research; implications of large datasets for human
and computational use
 *  Digitization practice and digital collection development in service of
digital humanities
  *  Queering and/or decolonializing digital humanities research and
practice
  *  Digital humanities and the intersection of identity, social justice,
and technology
  *  Digital research and pedagogy highlighting questions of diaspora and
indigeneity

Proposals may be submitted for individual talks, panel or roundtable
presentation, posters, and workshops. Proposals on work at any stage in the
research process are welcome.
