Forum Introduction

Abstract Digital humanities (DH) projects in Asian studies have received scant attention. Yet they raise important questions about whom DH projects represent and how they represent them, how the field recognizes labor, the role of digital data in Asian humanities, and the boundaries and affordances of “Asia” as a category of analysis. This essay introduces the forum’s contributions and articulates the critical frameworks and essential questions for analyzing DH in/and Asian studies that emerged from our conversation.
