The DRHA conference is held annually at various academic venues throughout the UK. The conference theme this year is to promote discussion around new collaborative environments, collective knowledge and redefining disciplinary boundaries. The conference, hosted by Cambridge with its fantastic choice of conference venues will take place from Sunday14th September to Wednesday 17th September
The aim of the conference is to:
- Establish a site for mutually creative exchanges of knowledge.
- Promote discussion around new collaborative environments and collective knowledge.
- Encourage and celebrate the connections and tensions within the liminal spaces that exist between the Arts and Humanities.
- Redefine disciplinary boundaries.
- Create a forum for debate around notions of the ‘solitary’ and the collaborative across the Arts and Humanities.
- Explore the impact of the Arts and Humanities on ICT: design and narrative
structures and visa versa.
Cambridge’s venues range from the traditional to the contemporary all situated within walking distance of central departments, museums and galleries. Cambridge offers a state of the art digital audio production centre – the Centre for Music and Science – and a number of additional rooms, including a recital room and a ‘black box’ performance space, to cater for this year’s delegates’ parallel programming and performances.
The conference will be based at the Faculty of Music’s West Road site. West Road Concert Hall is situated on the Sidgwick Site, which is the main campus for the Arts & Humanities. It has been the focus for an extensive programme of new building and now exhibits some of Cambridge’s most important twentieth and twenty-first century architecture; an immediately contemporary setting in which to address the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies hold for the arts and humanities. In contrast, West Road is within walking distance of the historic ‘backs’ where the traditional side of Cambridge is best displayed.
A Call for Papers will be posted at the end of February – beginning of March. Please look out for this and further conference details. We look forward to your participation.
