2023 Digital Humanities Research Institute South Bend

Wednesday, July 26, 2023 – Thursday, July 27, 2023

Registration closes July 17 at noon

246 Hesburgh Library, University of Notre Dame

This summer, Notre Dame will host a mini-Digital Humanities Research Institute (DHRI) skills workshop targeted at humanities graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty, and staff. This two-day workshop covers command line functionality, Git and GitHub, markdown, Python, digital text analysis, IIIF, and GIS mapping. Participants will also discuss the ethics of gathering, using, and maintaining data, and consider how the products of algorithms and machine learning can reflect unconscious bias.

The institute's goal is to provide foundational computing skills that will allow participants to advance their own digital projects, assist others in the creation and maintenance of digital research, and instruct others in digital methodologies. The institute also aims to foster a sense of community among participants, positioning attendees to collaborate on projects in the future and serve as valuable resources for each other.

Notre Dame professors Ashlee Bird and Katherine Walden will deliver keynote addresses.

About DHRI

In 2019, the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s College collaborated to develop a week-long digital skills workshop for humanities graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty, and staff, using a curriculum developed by the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. The goal of the institute is to provide participants with foundational computing skills that will allow them to advance their own digital projects, assist others in the creation and maintenance of digital research, and/or instruct others in digital methodologies.
