    Call for Applications

    Caribbean Digital Scholarship Summer Institute CFP in English

    The Caribbean Digital Scholarship Collective invites applications for its inaugural week-long residential digital humanities institute, to be held at the University of Miami in June 2023. The Caribbean Digital Scholarship Summer Institute (CDSsi) is generously supported by a Mellon Foundation grant and will be held annually for three summers.

    Key facts

    • Dates: 11-17 June 2023
    • Venue: University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL
    • Application deadline: 31 January 2023
    • Acceptance notification: by 31 March 2023

    Background

    To secure a viable future for digital scholarship in Caribbean Studies, we need a more expansive pool of talent. Given this need, the CDSsi aims to train scholars interested in approaching Caribbean Studies and digital scholarship as organically integrated fields of inquiry and engagement. Other DH institutes have proven to be insufficiently accessible to our Caribbean communities for various reasons, including high cost, logistics of international travel, and a tendency to center Europe, Canada, and the US. The Caribbean Digital Scholarship summer institute will attend to these problems by providing training to scholars, at all levels, working at the intersections of Caribbean Studies and digital humanities. In this first year of the CDSsi, the course offerings will be:

    • Minimal Computing for Caribbean Scholars With Alexander Gil, Yale University, and Andreina Soto, Barnard College
    • Critical Digital Pedagogy With Halcyon M. Lawrence, Towson University
    • Building Caribbean Digital Archives With Nicole N. Aljoe, Northeastern University, and Sonya Donaldson, Colby College
