With DHASA 2023, we aim to foster a community dedicated to advancing Digital Humanities scholarship and practice, all while emphasizing the theme of “Digital Humanities for Inclusion” within the Southern African region.

By joining forces, we can propel the growth of a diverse and inclusive cohort of scholars, ensuring that the realm of Digital Humanities becomes a catalyst for positive change, bridging gaps, and promoting equal participation from all backgrounds. Your support will play a pivotal role in driving forward this vision and creating a more interconnected and equitable digital future for Southern Africa.

If you or your company want to be a part of DHASA 2023, we have a few interesting options for you.

Your support will allow us to:

  1. Keep registration costs low so people are not priced out of attending (note that we try to keep the costs as low as possible to allow as many interested people to attend);
  2. Maximize participation by people from diverse geographies and communities that are digitally-disadvantaged within the Southern African region;
  3. Provide resources to enable the presentation of awards to deserving researchers and postgraduate students, which will serve as a motivation to do more in the Digital Humanities space within the Southern African region.

We provide different packages that are tailored to help you support us.
