RaDiHum20 writes about this podcast episode:

"In the current episode of our ninth season, which is entirely devoted to the topic of barriers and participation in the digital humanities (DH), we invited three guests from the board of the DHd association: Ulrike Wuttke, Vivien Wolter, and Jonas Müller-Laackmann. The DHd Association, which has been in existence for more than ten years now, sees itself as a central platform for the German-speaking DH community – open to anyone who wants to participate. “Anyone who wants to join in is part of it” is the motto, and this openness characterizes both the work of the association and its attitude toward the further development of the digital humanities as a whole.

But what exactly are the digital humanities? This question, our guests emphasize, has accompanied the field since its inception. There is often talk of the increasing digital transformation of the humanities, but this description falls short: the DH are not just a methodological or technical addition, but also a community that is constantly reinventing itself. The search for its own identity remains a central theme, and this is precisely where the DHd association plays an important role—as a place for exchange, advocacy, and institutional anchoring."
