[Commlist] cfp: Inaugural Conference of the Digital Culture Center

*Digital Culture Center*
CALL FOR PAPERS: Inaugural Conference of the Digital Culture Center at 
Plymouth State University *(April 4-5, 2025)*

The Digital Culture Center (DCC) at Plymouth State University invites 
scholars, practitioners, and digital culture enthusiasts to submit 
proposals for our inaugural conference, which will focus on the theme of 
*"A Sustainable Digital Future."* We are particularly interested in 
proposals that engage with emerging digital issues impacting both local 
and global communities. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * AI and Machine Learning
  * Big Data
  * Privacy and Surveillance
  * National/International Regulatory Frameworks
  * Social Media and Digital Communication
  * Virtual/Augmented Reality
  * Digital Accessibility

This two-day event will feature a dynamic mix of workshops, panels, and 
presentations designed to promote engagement among university 
communities and beyond. Our goal is to encourage critical reflection on 
digital culture, inspire interdisciplinary collaboration, train the next 
generation of digital professionals, and explore the implications of 
technology on our collective digital future. We welcome proposals that 
reflect on these themes through academic, practical, and creative 
lenses, bringing together students, faculty, and staff from across the 
USNH system and the wider academic and digital communities.
*About the Digital Culture Center*: The DCC is dedicated to fostering 
critical, interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on the intersection 
of digital culture, technology, and society. It serves as a 
collaborative space for discussion, debate, and innovation among 
students, academics, activists, and digital professionals. More
