The UB Digital Scholarship Studio and Network (DSSN) will present its annual symposium on Thursday, February 16, 2023, from 2-5pm, on Zoom. Titled “We’ve been here all along.”: DH and invisible labor, the symposium will focus on the labor required to implement and sustain many of the projects that live in the digital world. Our invited speakers will join us to discuss how this “invisible” labor has been here all along.
