If you are interested in starting a digital project but don’t know where to begin, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! Your annual membership will include up to five, hour-long appointments throughout the year with the Hub’s group of trained consultants. 

The Recovery Hub helps early-stage projects find their footing, offers peer review, and makes affiliated projects available for classrooms and communities. The Hub fosters collaboration, mentorship, and community-building among women working in the digital humanities while seeking feminist and decolonial approaches to the creation, curation, design, sharing, and archiving of digital content. They mentor practitioners in the field of digital recovery, including students, K-12 teachers, librarians, archivists, and scholars of all kinds. Their mission is to diversify the field of literary study. They hub aims to support the work of BIPOC scholars and for at least 50% of affiliated projects to recover Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and LGBTQI+ stories, texts, experiences, and voices.

The SSAWW’s memberships will be awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please email recoveryhub@siue.edu with your name, email, and institution, if you are interested.
