[AI Summary]: King’s College London’s Department of Digital Humanities will host a major international conference exploring the evolving role of Digital Humanities in a world increasingly shaped by digital technologies. Coinciding with the department’s 25th anniversary as an official department and 15th anniversary of its renaming as Department of Digital Humanities, the conference invites critical reflection on what ‘digital’ entails in today’s world. Building on over fifty years of innovation and critical inquiry at King’s, the event brings together scholars, practitioners, and communities to examine Digital Humanities as both a methodological practice and a lens to understand and shape the digital world. The conference will feature career plenary sessions instead of traditional keynotes, with panels consisting of academics from every career stage.
The conference runs from June 23-26, 2026 at King’s College London. This face-to-face only event explores critical digital humanities across multiple themes.
