Hold On: Digital Public Humanities in Authoritarian America

Things are bad. Very, very bad. We don't even need to tell you how bad. In this keynote, Risam will explore the power of digital public humanities for the U.S. today. Drawing on her own collaborative scholarship, she will reflect on the impact that digital public humanities has, particularly in times of crisis. Risam will also offer some strategies for persevering under the present circumstances, such as loss of funding, cultural erasure, and despair.
