International Day of DH, which started in 2009 as “Day in the Life of Digital Humanities”, is a day when digital humanists celebrate their work and share it with the broader community.

In a line-up that promises to be both edifying and stimulating, Prof Justus C Roux is one of the plenary speakers at DH-IGNITE. He has been a trailblazer in establishing digital infrastructure to support the development of language resources in South Africa.
