ACH 2026 exp lores how we create and collaborate through moment s of exigency in a bilingual\, virtual conference. In Spanish\, emergencia can mean both "e mergence" and "emergency." This dual meaning serve s as our starting point. While emergence/ia speaks to growth\, connection\ , and creation\, emergency/ia signals moments of urgency that demand care\ , response\, and transformation. ACH 2026 seeks to ask: What forms of knowledge creation in the digi tal humanities (broadly defined) are emerging from pressing challenges across the Americas? How do d igital humanists respond to emergencies through kn owledge creation\, while being mindful of ramifica tions of computing for environmental crises? What insights do themes of transnationalism and solidar ity reveal across the Americas about our work and communities\, and the role of emerging technology in shaping both?
\n \nACH fosters dialogue and solidarity on equity and justice across local\ , transborder\, and global contexts in an inclusiv e space. As a bilingual conference\, ACH 2026 welc omes proposals and presentations in Spanish and En glish\; we encourage presenters to decenter\, comp licate\, and resituate the United States in their approach to the Americas. We are interested in rec eiving proposals from participants with a range of expertise and roles\, including international wor kers and students\, alt-ac positions\, employment outside of higher education\, and graduate and und ergraduate students. We further invite proposals f rom participants who are newcomers to digital huma nities.
