Proposals are now being accepted for presentations at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute Colloquium, to be held in June 2017 at the University of Victoria. Open to all, the DHSI Colloquium offers an opportunity to present research and projects within an engaging, collegial atmosphere. Submissions are peer-reviewed, with participants subsequently invited to contribute to a DHSI-themed special issue in an open-access journal.
Proposals of 300-500 words are invited, focusing on any topic relating to the wider Digital Humanities. These may include, but are not limited to:
- the scholar’s role in personal and institutional research projects
- tool application and development
- perspectives on Digital Humanities implications for the individual’s own research and pedagogy
- reports on activities from the field
In your abstract, please indicate which format you would prefer, but note that, due to scheduling requirements, not all preferences can be accommodated. The Colloquium will run throughout the duration of DHSI, so please indicate which week(s) you will be in attendance.
