Past Event

DHSITE – Digital Humanities Summer Institute: Technologies East is a University of Ottawa and Carleton University joint initiative. DHSITE2017 is a four-day bilingual event introducing new computing technologies and their uses in education and research. It addresses topics such as digitizing, disseminating, and archiving data in various disciplines and using a variety of approaches.

DHSITE acts as a summer school, a conference, and a meeting place for practitioners, academics, students, and independent scholars — in short, anyone who works with or wants to learn about advanced technologies and their applications.

The institute is also a site of intellectual and cultural confluence. It brings together digital humanists working in both French and English across Central and Eastern Canada and Quebec, and it embraces a cross-institutional approach by involving industry and educational partners.

DHSITE this year will include an array of workshops, lectures, project presentations, and round tables that experiment with cutting-edge tools in the digital humanities.
