On March 3 \u2013 4, 2023, History and Theory<\/em>, <\/em>partnering with Brown University Library, will bring the contributors to the December 2022 theme issue, \u201cDigital History and Theory<\/em>: Changing Narratives, Changing Methods, Changing Narrators<\/a>,\u201d together for an open exchange inspired by their contributions but focused on the ways to make that change happen now. Digital history has provided us with an incredible array of tools for acquiring and processing data, but critical theoretical reflections have been few and widespread imaginative historical innovations are scarce. The tools have changed, and the possibilities have changed, but the discipline of history is in danger of using them to simply replicate its old ways. Of course, in the end, it is not the tools that will lead to a change; it is ideas and imagination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At #DigitalHT2023, our contributors will reflect on their past work and offer concrete suggestions as to how the digital can change the way we research, write, and teach about the past\u2014that is, the way we do history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
