FLDH Inaugural Conference
March 29-30, 2019
University of North Florida
The Florida Digital Humanities Consortium (FLDH) will be hosting its inaugural statewide conference at the University of North Florida (UNF) on March 29-30, 2019.
Conference Schedule
Friday, March 29 will be a formal research conference, with concurrent sessions and poster presentations, followed by a plenary talk and dinner. For this portion of our program, we invite proposals for individual papers or panels on any topic related to the Digital Humanities. Proposals for individual papers require an abstract of 200-250 words. Panel proposals should include an abstract of 150-250 words for the panel itself, accompanied by abstracts for the 3-5 individual papers that comprise the panel. Panels proposals must also indicate the name of the organizer(s) and chair(s). We welcome proposals from students, faculty and staff from any institution of higher learning, as well as representatives of cultural institutions, from throughout Florida. Guests from outside of Florida are also encouraged to participate. While we may have more informal events in the morning on Friday, March 29, panels and poster session will not begin before 1 PM, in order to allow same-day travel time for those who may be coming from longer distances.
Submit a proposal for the research conference here. The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2018. Presenters will be notified by January 31, 2019.
Saturday, March 30 will follow a more spontaneous THATCamp format. Faculty and staff from the Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida will play a key role in coordinating events on this day. As is typical at THATCamp events, the schedule of sessions will primarily be coordinated the morning of the event. Anyone interested in being part of the organization of this portion of the conference should contact Hélène Huet, European studies librarian, University of Florida.
