We are delighted to announce the publication of a new collection of essays
entitled Feminist Digital Humanities: intersections in Practice published by
University of Illinois Press in their Topics in the Digital Humanities series.
It is edited by Susan Schreibman and Lisa Marie Rhody. The collection adopts
critical and affirmative stances toward the creation, use, integration, and
influence of emerging technologies in digital humanities (DH) practice.
Providing examples of each contributor’s approach to feminist research,
teaching, and project design, definitions of feminisms are brought into
conversation with DH scholarship.
The book features 12 chapters under the subcategories: Readings,
Infrastructures, Pedagogy. A full list of contributors is below. The book is
available for purchase at a very reasonable price, as well as open access. More

Subject: Book launch of Technoskepticism - Wednesday, 21 May at King's College London
Dear friends and colleagues,
The Department of Digital
Humanities<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/ddh/about/about> and the Centre for
Digital Culture<https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/cdc> at King’s College
London are delighted to invite you to the launch of the DISCO Network’s
Technoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal (Stanford University
Press).
When: Wed 21 May 2025 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: King's College London, Strand Campus, room TBC, WC2R 2LS
Registration:
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/digitalhumanitieskcl/1659637
From Munchausen by Tiktok to wellness apps to online communities to AI,
the DISCO Network explores the possibilities that technoskepticism can
create. This is a book about possibility and refusal in relation to new
technologies. Though refusal is an especially powerful mode—particularly
for those who have historically not been given the option to say
no—people of colour and disabled people have long navigated the space
between saying yes and saying no to the newest technologies.
Technoskepticism relates some of these stories to reveal the
possibilities skepticism can create.
This launch event will consider three strands of technoskepticism: the
first focused on disability, the creative use of wellness apps, and the
desire for diagnosis; the second on digital nostalgia and home for Black
and Asian users who produced communities online before home pages gave
way to profiles; and the third focused on the violence inherent in
A.I.-generated Black bodies and the possibilities for Black style in the
age of A.I. Acknowledging how the urge to refuse new technologies
emerges from specific racialised histories, the authors will also
consider how care can look like an exuberant embrace of the new.
Please note this is a hybrid event. Guests are invited to join us
in-person in London or online via MS Teams. Online attendees will be
emailed a Teams link 24 hours before the event.
Warm wishes,
Zeena
