Digital Humanities Summer Institute

We are now receiving proposals for courses to be offered in 2026. We have a number of core offerings repeated annually, as well as number of community-proposed offerings that rotate from year to year (with some repetition). We welcome proposals for new community offerings — and especially so from members of the DHSI community. If you’re interested in proposing a community offering for DHSI 2026, we would welcome hearing from you by Friday 20 June 2025!

We are very happy to consider any and all proposals from members of our community. Suggestions made by DHSIers in the past have indicated particular interest in a number of areas complementing current curriculum, as well as areas of DH convergence with traditional academic disciplines and societal concerns (e.g. social justice, critical race studies, accessibility), social media, new media, professional issues, serious gaming, humanities data (including visualization), non-textual data (e.g. audio and video), digital publishing, musicology, augmented reality and immersive environments, app development, visual culture, art history, and design, among others.

We are especially interested in proposals for single-instructor offerings that are highly interactive pedagogically and integrate hardware or software that participants can readily access (e.g. laptops, open source software). Please note that courses are offered in a classroom setting only (no lab available).

A course proposal consists of:

• Proposed title
• One paragraph description, including the intended audience
• A brief statement of its association with other DHSI offerings (like the last paragraph of existing course descriptions, which read something like: “Consider this offering to build on, or be built on by …” and/or “Consider this offering in complement with …”
• A summative day-by-day overview, given the 5-day DHSI format (in a half-page)
• Instructor’s CV

We are grateful to all DHSI instructors for sharing their knowledge and time with the rest of the community and note that compensation takes the form of funded travel to and from Montréal, on-campus accommodation (for one or two weeks), a daily per diem, and a complimentary DHSI course for the week instructors are not teaching in should they want to.

Please submit your DHSI 2026 course proposal by filling out this form and send your CV to DHSI Montréal (dhsimontreal@gmail.com) no later than Friday 20 June 2025.
