Proposals welcome for 2026 Connecticut Digital Humanities Conference

The fourth Connecticut Digital Humanities Conference (CTDH) will take place on March 19 and 20, 2026, at Central Connecticut State University. Organizers are seeking participation from a broad range of digital humanities practitioners, including participants from higher education, community and cultural organizations, K-12 education, state and local government, and the general public.

CTDH endeavors to bring together a network of digital humanities practitioners committed to advancing collaborative work in digital humanities research and pedagogy across the New England region. The conference provides individuals with an opportunity to learn new techniques and skills, hear about their colleagues’ digital humanities projects, and become part of a vibrant and diverse community of teachers, learners, and practitioners.

While projects with a Connecticut focus are encouraged, the conference is not limited to Connecticut-based projects or practitioners. For 2026, proposals that address digital humanities in diverse contexts — including museum; libraries and archives; community organizing and activism; and public education — are welcome

Contributions are welcome from faculty researchers, unaffiliated scholars, librarians, museum professionals, technologists, undergraduate and graduate students, K-12 teachers, and community groups. Formats beyond the traditional 20-minute paper are encouraged, including roundtables, multi-speaker panels, lightning talks, posters, and digital demonstrations. Proposals should be less than 300 words in length and should describe the proposed topic, session format, and names and affiliations of participants.

Proposals are due January 5, 2026, and may be submitted via this Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdEN3uRfqoGfS7Y8XTENs_qL8J0bjFhyoGX2l98hKVhHKATJw/viewform 

Presenters will be notified of acceptance by early February. More information can be found on the CTDH website at https://ctdh.io/. For more information, contact Brian Matzke at bmatzke@ccsu.edu/.
