DH-WoGeM (Digital Humanities – Women + Gender Minorities)
DH-WoGeM provides a mailing list for discussion of issues relevant to being a woman or gender minority in digital humanities. The group also organizes “conversations” (video chats via Zoom) around specific issues, and develops white papers and other resources for advocacy. DH-WoGeM is a Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Alliance for Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO).
