Designing ADRELA: The Alliance for Digital Research on Early Latin America

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop will consider parameters for the creation of a transnational, interdisciplinary organization to support digital research related to colonial and nineteenth-century Latin America. A panel of experts will share ideas regarding the possible objectives, structure and functions of this nascent initiative. They will consider, as well, how to envision and articulate the niche this project might occupy in the larger ecosystem of digital humanities organizations today. The audience will also be encouraged to contribute their thoughts to this process and to become partners in this endeavor. This workshop will serve as a formative step toward converting the idea of ADRELA into an active entity that can support the work of scholars who are using digital tools and methodologies to study the pre-twentieth-century Latin America past.
