Given that we will not be able to host our next in person Winter Institute in Digital Humanities in January 2021 as we had hoped, we have transitioned some of our WIDH programming concepts to a virtual environment for the AY 2020/21 academic year. Our hope is that by doing so, we can continue fostering the sense of community and information sharing that was built during WIDH 2020. Below you’ll find the topics from our previous virtual WIDHs, as well as our tentative schedule for future virtual WIDHs.
If you would like to present at an upcoming WIDH, please email nyuad.widh@nyu.edu with your topic idea, and we will get back to you soon after. Registration information will be shared once the October meetup is confirmed.
