About the Journal
Critical Digital Humanities is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to examining the digital world through critical, cultural, ethical, and socio-political lenses. The journal explores how digital technologies shape—and are shaped by power, identity, knowledge systems, and global inequalities. Positioned at the intersection of humanities scholarship and digital innovation, the journal invites work that interrogates digital infrastructures, data cultures, algorithmic systems, digital labor, platform politics, and emerging technocultural practices.
The journal is committed to expanding the field of digital humanities by foregrounding critique, theory, and reflexive methodologies. It encourages contributions that challenge techno-solutionism, expose colonial and extractive logics of the digital, reimagine digital futures, and amplify historically marginalized voices. Critical Digital Humanities also supports dialogues that link digital practices with broader humanities concerns, including ethics, justice, environment, archives, memory, language, embodiment, and affect.
We welcome research articles, theoretical interventions, methodological essays, speculative pieces, and multimodal scholarship. The journal values feminist, decolonial, posthumanist, environmental, queer, disability, and Indigenous approaches, as well as experimental formats that push the boundaries of academic publishing. By fostering global and interdisciplinary conversations, Critical Digital Humanities aims to serve as a platform for scholars, practitioners, artists, and activists who are rethinking what it means to study and critically live with the digital in the 21st century.
Our Issue One of our first Volume will be published in April 2026; we will release the call for papers in January 2026.
