Digital Humanities Summer Institute

DHSI has historically been made up of several affiliated events, all with a different digital humanities focus in mind. DHSI 2025 will focus on the following aligned events:

• Institute Lectures
• Conference and Colloquium
• Info Sessions
• #GraphPoem

All events will take place in person on Université de Montréal’s campus at 3200 Jean-Brillant St., Montreal, QC.

Institute Lectures

We have the pleasure of hosting four institute lectures at DHSI 2025. See the full list of presenters and abstracts here.

Conference and Colloquium

Program

The DHSI 2025 Conference & Colloquium program is now live here!

Call for Papers

We are happy to announce that proposals are now being accepted for presentations at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) 2025!

Presentations may focus on any topic relating to the digital humanities. Submissions are welcome in English and French from all members of the digital humanities community, including faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, early career scholars, independent researchers, librarians and others in the GLAM community, alt-academics, academic professionals, those in technical programs, and those new to the digital humanities.

The Conference & Colloquium is a relatively informal, collegial venue for sharing work and ideas, and we encourage presenters to think beyond the traditional conference paper format for their presentations and to invite feedback and engagement from the DHSI community.

Submissions, in English or French, are welcome in two formats:

Conference Presentations

Presentations should be 10–15 minutes long and will be organized into themed sessions. This format is well suited to presenting research findings, in-depth argumentative papers, or reports on completed research.

Colloquium Lightning Talks

Presentations should be 5 minutes long and will be organized into themed sessions. This format is well suited to demonstrations of new tools, reporting on in-progress research, announcing new projects and tools, and brief, tightly focused argumentative papers.

Please submit proposals through this online submission form.

The form asks for:

• the language of the presentation
• the title of the presentation
• the names and emails of all contributors
• a 200–250-word abstract
• a list of 5 keywords describing the presentation

The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 28 March 20, 2025 at midnight (EST), with presenters being notified on Monday, April 7, 2025.

#GraphPoem

Friday June 6

All those connected to DHSI 2025 are invited to be part of the event #GraphPoem by MARGENTO by contributing text files or weblinks to a collectively assembled dataset and/or run a script plotting the latter into a real-time evolving network.

The Graph Poem is an ongoing transnational project harnessing LLMs and combining natural language processing and graph-theory-based approaches to poetry, with academic, DH-literary, and performative outputs.

All #DHSI25 participants that sign up for #GraphPoem will receive an account giving them access to the data and the code on JupyterHub.

#GraphPoem will have two main components viewable to anybody accessing the following online venues at the time of the event: a livestream on Margento’s Facebook page and the user content of a machinic account—@GraphPoem (also on Facebook)—posting text-and-media-nodes selected from the evolving graph by a network analysis algorithm and fed into the livestreamed performance.
