DayofDH will be celebrated again this year on Wednesday, 29 April. DayofDH is a global event when people working on topics in digital humanities share on social media (especially Twitter) the kinds of work they are doing. In order to bring together the community that was established during the first Winter Institute in Digital Humanities, as well as meet others engaged in this type of work, we are hosting a virtual reunion. We’ll use this occasion to reach out to each other, to reflect on our professional lives in this moment and to have a chance to connect.
