We're excited to announce our upcoming Fall 2014 Speaker Series, available now in our Events section. This year's theme is titled "Critical DH: Methods, Pedagogies and Practice," and features guest speakers including Susan Brown (University of Guelph), Amy Earhart (Texas A&M), and Internet activist Suey Park.

On Wed., October 1st, Hamilton College will host the first of two events in the fifth annual Digital Witness Symposium event. The event will be held at 127 Kirner-Johnson Hall at 7pm. This year’s symposium will focus on how activists, media-makers and designers are using digital code and software design to reengineer the very possibilities of human rights media.

DHi and Hamilton College will host the Beloved Witness Project: Agha Shahid Ali and Kashmir Symposium on Sept 19 - 20, celebrating the life, work, and influence of the poet and teacher Agha Shahid Ali. A former Hamilton College professor, National Book Award nominee, and beloved poet of Kashmir and America, Shahid brought to our attention not only a global perspective on poetic language and forms, but also a profound respect for poetry’s importance in the world.

DHi's Fall 2013 Speaker Series continues with Dr. Lynne Siemens, Assistant Professor, School of Public Administration, University of Victoria. Dr. Siemens will present a lecture, Monday, Oct. 21st, followed by a workshop lunch, Tuesday Oct. 22nd.
