Conférence de Ray Siemens (U de Victoria)

Dans le cadre de la transition du Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), qui aura désormais lieu à l’Université de Montréal à partir de 2025, notre centre est heureux d’accueillir Ray Siements pour sa conférence intitulée « The Digital Humanities Summer Institute — in situ and in Positive Transition » :

The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) was founded in 2001 on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada – since its inception serving as a community-based, annual training institute for the development and sharing of digital humanities skills, tools, and approaches. As the largest digital humanities curriculum in the world, DHSI mobilizes and leverages extant and ongoing activities across the arts and humanities and produces computationally capable, highly qualified personnel. This focus on professional and community development carries forward benefits, research priorities, and knowledge output in the social sciences and humanities to key areas both within and beyond academia. The institute now draws hundreds of participants annually from academic, government, business, and cultural heritage sectors and DHSI continues to support this large and varied community of practice. The engagement of multiple communities during DHSI significantly encourages the growth of a comprehensive, digital ecosystem constituted by many different sectors and practitioners across career levels. This talk will explore elements of the past and present of DHSI, as we look toward positive transition to Montreal for 2025.
