Anticipated offerings for DHSI 2026 are listed below.

Click on each title go to the page course for description, instructor biographies, and examples of previous material (if applicable).

For information about registration options and fees, please visit Registration and Fees.

Important Notes:

– All DHSI 2026 courses are in person and on campus in Montréal. Courses run daily, Monday to Friday, for the duration of each week, so only one course can be taken per week. In total, participants can either register for one single course or two courses in two different weeks.

– Foundations offerings at DHSI are foundational in nature, requiring little by way of prerequisite save that those enrolled should have a basic knowledge of computing tools and methods. Note that some offerings have specific requisite skills and/or expectations and, in such cases, these are outlined in course description.

– If you are unsure of which course would be best suited to your strengths and interests, please reach out to the DHSI coordinator or the course instructor.

– All courses will be held in standard classrooms with basic equipment, so participants will likely need to bring their own laptops. If any software needs to be installed beforehand, instructors will inform participants in advance.

– All listed courses are eligible to count towards the Canadian Certificate for Digital Humanities/Certificat Canadien en Humanités Numériques (cc:DH/HN). If you’re interested in learning more about the certificate, visit https://ccdhhn.ca/.

– Note that if the title of a course is in French, the course will be given entirely in French.
