Digital Humanities at MLA, 2009 - 2015

Over the years, Mark Sample has published an annual round-up of digital humanities (DH) sessions for upcoming Modern Language Association (MLA) annual conferences. Here's a look at Sample's lists of the sessions:  

• November 23, 2014: Digital Humanities Sessions at the 2015 MLA (63 sessions)
• September 19, 2013: Digital Humanities Sessions at the 2014 MLA (78 sessions)
• October 17, 2012: Digital Humanities Sessions at the 2013 MLA (66 sessions)
• October 4, 2011: Digital Humanities Sessions at the 2012 MLA (58 sessions)
• November 9, 2010: Digital Humanities Sessions at the 2011 MLA (44 sessions)
• November 15, 2009: Digital Humanities Sessions at the 2009 MLA (27 sessions)

[Note: there was no conference in 2010; as the annual conferences switched from December meetings to January.]

For the total of  336 DH-related sessions, 6 of the sessions were devoted to African American literary and cultural topics. That is, panels devoted to African American topics constitute under 2% of DH sessions at MLA.
