#transformDH is an academic guerrilla movement seeking to (re)define capital-letter Digital Humanities as a force for transformative scholarship by collecting, sharing, and highlighting projects that push at its boundaries and work for social justice, accessibility, and inclusion.” (#transformDH Tumblr)
#transformDH began at the American Studies Association’s annual conference in 2011. While we have a collective of core members, we aim to create a distributed network of scholars and creators inside and outside academia. If the hashtag is meaningful and useful to you, we consider you one of us.
Some writings from core collective members about why #transformDH matters:
Moya Bailey (2011), All of the Digital Humanists are White, All of the Nerds are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave
Fiona Barnett (2014), The Brave Side of Digital Humanities (in Differences: subscription required)
Anne Cong-Huyen (2013), Thinking Through Race (Gender, Class, & Nation) in the Digital Humanities: The #transformDH Example and Transformative Asian/American Digital Humanities

Very new to digital humanities (I’m currently getting my MFA at LSU and taking a grad seminar on Intro to Digital Humanities, where I hope to generate a web-archive of visual poetry by the end of the semester). As a disabled scholar, I LOVED the “Digit(al) Shakespeares” archive, and how it positioned deaf studies and visual studies, as well as challenged how we might orient to a longstanding literary work. I was wondering if you guys know of any similar archives/databases which center around or strongly include disabled voices? Doesn’t have to be in visual studies; I would love to look up anything you might offer. Thank you!
