We are excited to announce that Digital Frontiers 2015 will be hosted by the School of Arts and Humanities and the Emerging Media and Communication program at University of Texas at Dallas. The conference will be held in the UT-D University Union and the beautiful new Edith O’Donnell Arts and Technology Building at the center of the UT-D campus. The conference will take place September 17-19, 2015, and the Call for Proposals will be available after February 1st.
Digital Frontiers is a project of the UNT Libraries to explore creativity and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries in the arena of public humanities and cultural memory. Established in 2012 to respond to the need for an affordable, high-quality conference that addressed the emerging field of digital humanities from a variety of perspectives, Digital Frontiers is a truly interdisciplinary experience. The conference brings together scholars and students, librarians and archivists, genealogists and public historians to share their experience of using digital resources in the humanities.
An annual conference and THATCamp, and periodic webinar conversations with national leaders in digital humanities highlight interdisciplinary efforts in the development and use of digital resources for humanities research, teaching, and learning.
The UT-D Department of Arts and Technologies joins the UNT Libraries, the TWU Libraries, as major partners in the Digital Frontiers Project, along with sponsors the Portal to Texas History and the Texas State Historical Association.
