  This ongoing study revisits the connotations of "digital humanists" and
explores the reasons why a researcher does or does not self-identify as a
digital humanist. Building on semi-structured interview data collected from
fourteen researchers and practitioners engaging in digital humanities (DH)
projects, this poster illustrates researchers' various understandings of
"digital humanist" as a term and research identity and highlights the
complexity of "digital humanists" as a research community. This study
contributes to DH scholarship with insights into the collective imaginations of
the digital humanist as a research community one decade after the early
attempts. Findings of this research study also facilitate a more thorough,
timely, and dynamic discussion of the major workforce in digital humanities,
potentially paving the way for future research on labor and collaboration in
the DH research domain.
