CaliDHRI is a free, annual digital ethnic studies institute inspired and co-sponsored by CUNY DHRI as well as UC Irvine Libraries and UCLA Library. The inaugural CaliDHRI will center Black digital humanities thematically while focusing on California-centric research questions and datasets.
The 2022 theme, “The Black Press”, will be explored by three keynote speakers (who will highlight their own Black digital humanities research and projects) as well as multiple small teams of participants who have applied with a research question, collection, or project in mind.
All CaliDHRI keynotes are free and open to the public. Those who register will receive a recording after the event.
