Digital Humanities Congress 2012 - Call for Papers

The Digital Humanities Congress is a new conference to be held September 6th - 8th, 2012 at the University of Sheffield every two years.  The purpose of the congress is "to promote the sharing of knowledge, ideas and techniques within the digital humanities. Digital humanities is understood by Sheffield to mean the use of technology within arts, heritage and humanities research as both a method of inquiry and a means of dissemination. As such, proposals related to all disciplines within the arts, humanities and heritage domains are welcome."  Submission deadline is April 30th, 2012.

The Congress is sponsored by Sheffield's Humanities Research Institute, the Network of Expert Centres and Centernet.
