Digital Humanities Summer Institute 2010
Graduate Student Colloquium
June 8-11, 2010

[Deadline has been extended to December 11, 2009.]

CALL FOR PAPERS: The DHSI will be sponsoring its second annual
graduate student colloquium in June 2010. Graduate students attending
the Institute are invited to participate in the 2010 colloquium
entitled "Making Connections: Emerging Scholars in the Digital
Humanities."

Abstracts are now being accepted for presentations focusing on all
aspects of graduate student research in the digital humanities,
including, but not limited to, the graduate student's role in personal
and institutional research projects, tool application and development,
perspectives on digital humanities implications for their own research
and pedagogy, etc.

The colloquium begins on the second day of the Summer Institute and
takes place over four days (Tuesday through Friday) during morning
sessions prior to the start of classes. Three graduate students will
present at each session. Presentations will be informal and strictly
limited to ten (10) minutes per presenter, with time for Q&A reserved
at session's end. The sessions will be open to all DHSI attendees.

We invite 300 word proposals for these presentations. Successful
abstracts for the 2010 colloquium will focus on the individual
student's role in digital humanities research and application, as
opposed to general issues pertaining to digital humanities. Potential
presenters should be enrolled in a PhD or MA program, or hold a
post-doctoral fellowship, at the time of abstract submission. We
welcome abstracts from current students who will graduate before June
2010.

Please send abstracts to cmleitch at uvic.ca . Deadline for submissions
is December 11, 2009. All who have submitted an abstract will be
notified by late-December 2009.

For more information, contact Cara Leitch or Diane Jakacki .

ABOUT THE DHSI: The Digital Humanities Summer Institute at the
University of Victoria provides an ideal environment for discussing
and learning about new computing technologies and how they are
influencing the work of those in the Arts, Humanities and Library
communities. The institute takes place across a week of intensive
coursework, seminar participation, and lectures. It brings together
faculty, staff, and graduate students from different areas of the
Arts, Humanities, Library and Archives communities and beyond. During

applying advanced technologies to our teaching, research,
dissemination and preservation. This year's Summer Institute will be
held June 7-11, 2010. For more information and to register for courses
