“People, Practice, Power” and the ASA Ángel David Nieves DH Caucus Book Prize

In November 2023, Angel David Nieves, Siobhan Senier and I were notified by Professor Jennifer Ross that our edited collection, People, Practice, Power: Digital Humanities Outside the Center (Minnesota UP) was awarded the 2023 DH Caucus Book Prize by the American Studies Association. Unfortunately, Angel David died just weeks after this announcement. In honor of his extraordinary contributions, the DH Caucus book award is now named after him. “The ASA DH Caucus Ángel David Nieves Book Award was renamed to memorialize the profound scholarly, pedagogical, social justice, and personal impacts of Dr. Nieves on his colleagues and the field of digital humanities. The Ángel David Nieves Book Award recognizes exceptional work that grapples with urgent questions that are specifically situated in practices of studying at the intersection of American Studies, Digital Humanities, and Digital Studies.” I look forward to hearing about the 2024 recipient.
