[Commlist] Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives Conference

*Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: 6/7 June 2019*

Funded as part of the translingual strand of the AHRC Open World 
Research Initiative ‘Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community’ 
project, and led by the Institute of Modern Languages Research and 
Digital Humanities at the School of Advanced Study, University of London.

This conference aims to inspire greater dialogue across disciplinary 
boundaries in order to develop a richer understanding of the role of the 
digital in creating and sustaining diasporic connections and 
communities, and of how diasporic groups and individuals transform and 
shape digital tools and technologies for their own creative and 
strategic purposes.

The programme includes a public lecture by Roopika Risam (Salem State 
University) 'Mobilizing New Digital Worlds: The Stakes of Postcolonial 
Digital Humanities’, in collaboration with Digital Humanities and OWRI 
Language Acts & Worldmaking at King’s College London.

Keynotes: Mirca Madianou (Goldsmiths) 'Technocolonialism: Digital 
humanitarianism as extraction' & Jannis Androutsopoulos (Universität 
Hamburg/Multiling, University of Oslo) 'Mediational repertoires and 
diasporic connectivity: from Senegal to Oslo and back again'.

Plenary Panels: ‘Digital Media and the Diasporic Self’, ‘Polish 
Communities in the UK: Diasporic Spaces and Media in the Past and 
Present’ & ‘Mapping Migrations’
