Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI): A Place for Open Digital Scholarship
Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is an annual digital scholarship training institute that takes place at the University of Victoria (and online in 2023). Every summer, DHSI brings together faculty, staff, and students from the arts, humanities, library, and archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. DHSI provides a community-based environment for discussing and learning about new technologies and how they influence teaching, research, creation, and preservation in different disciplines. Around 800-900 participants attend this time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, where participants share ideas and methods as well as develop expertise in advanced technologies. Please consult the for more information.
UPenn’s DreamLab
University of Pennsylvania's DreamLab is a week-long digital humanities training opportunity hosted by the University of Pennsylvania and designed to help humanists become more confident and thoughtful users, creators, and critics of digital technology. There are several courses to choose from, each of which combines technology instruction with practical application. Dream Lab is open to everyone but has been designed especially to serve early-stage scholars aspiring to be teaching faculty, research librarians, and archivists. Check out UPenn's for more information.
