Feminist Digital Humanities centers an analysis of power and privilege informed by feminist scholars. Using an intersectional approach, the chapter outlines two issues facing dh scholars: systemic bias within dh infrastructure and a need to decenter the whiteness found in dh theory. Highlighting various resistances to exclusionary infrastructures, particularly at international conferences, the chapter highlights ways that current scholars have resisted problematic power dynamics. Using the idea of multiple digital humanities, coined by Jamie Sky Bianco, the chapter argues against an add and stir model of diversity, instead outlining ways that current feminist dh scholars have built coalitions of support and expansion. The chapter will discuss the complicated and often fraught moments that have evolved during coalition building, often revolving around issues of access, location, and privilege. The best articulations of digital humanitie(s) recognizes that much of the exemplary work is itself centered outside of a rigid notion of dh, instead crossing interdisciplinary boundaries, with new media, critical race studies, post-colonial studies, diaspora studies, critical code studies, disability studies, queer theory and pedagogy studies, among other areas, all central scholarly production locations with long histories.
