Dear CTheory Readers,

We are pleased to announce the forthcoming Critical Digital Studies Spring Workshop.

Following the success of the workshop held this past summer, we have invited several internationally renowned scholars to meet for a one-day workshop, investigating and articulating the contours of the digital future.

The workshop will constitute an intimate and rigorous intellectual engagement with the digital in a seminar format.

The event will be available online at pactac.net/stream.html
