The first conference held by The Albert M. Greenfield Digital Center for the History of Women’s Education, on the campus of Bryn Mawr College, will bring together scholars, archivists, digital humanists, students, and all those interested in the development of women’s history in the new era of digital humanities research. ‘Women’s History in the Digital World’ will serve as a forum to share insights and information on the landscape of women’s history in the world of twenty-first century technology. Renowned digital humanist Professor Laura Mandell, Director of the Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture at Texas A&M, will open the conference with a keynote address on Friday March 22nd, followed by a reception. Panels will be held all day on Saturday March 23rd.

The Center seeks scholars working on women’s history projects with a digital component, investigating the complexities of creating, managing, researching and teaching with digital resources. All thematic areas and time periods are included: this is a chance to share knowledge, network and promote stimulating conversations in women’s history in the context of digital humanities initiatives today. We invite individual papers or panels on new projects, theoretical approaches, teaching, research and new challenges in the digital realm of historical and cultural research on women.
