Code As Conversation: Transmedia Dialogues Around Critical Code Studies, a one-day conference on 1 June at Cambridge Digital Humanities – interested in the conversational capacities of code – opens for registration on Thursday 4 April

Keynote: Critiquing Code Alignment: Tracing “Forward Alignment” and “Backward Alignment” in Critical Code Studies, David Berry (Professor of Digital Humanities, University of Sussex)

Convenors: Orla Delaney and Claire Carroll (CDH & English PhD students)

Description: This one-day conference on the dynamic field of critical code studies expands on the conversations begun by the Cultural Politics of Code reading group at Cambridge, related to the performative, cultural, communicative and functional nature of computer code.  The conference brings together contributions from those on the margins of critical code studies: both humanities practitioners new to the interpretation of code, and those from STEM disciplines interested in humanities analysis.
