Global Horizons for the Digital and Public Humanities

CESTA will be hosting a group of scholars, students, and professors from the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), a part of the Department of Humanities of Ca' Foscari University of Venice, with the support of Stanford Humanities Center, under the umbrella of "Global Horizons for Digital and Public Humanities" programming. The scholars are visiting Stanford between April 22nd and April 25th. They and CESTA members will be delivering papers, attending workshops, collaborating together, and imagining the "Global Horizons". The full schedule of the events open to all Stanford staff, faculty, and students is below.
