The Nebraska Forum on Digital Humanities is a regular event hosted by the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH) since 2006. Though it has taken different forms over the years, it has maintained its focus on highlighting the diverse intellectual activity of the digital humanities field.
This year, the Harris Center for Judaic Studies and the CDRH are co-hosting:
11th Annual Nebraska Forum on Digital Humanities
"Visualizing Holocaust Memory through the Digital Humanities: Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Ethical Challenges"
April 16-17, 2026
Novel integrations that reveal the complex layers of Holocaust history will be introduced and discussed with our scholars during this Forum.
- How has the interpretation of Holocaust content shifted in the digital age?
- How might big data provide visualization that was not previously attainable?
- In what ways are ethical boundaries blurred or sharpened as researchers and developers leverage their disciplines within Holocaust-related scholarship via digital expressions?
