Time: 6:30 – 8:00 PM
Where: Hybrid event at the CUNY Graduate Center (Skylight Room) and on Zoom

Lightning talks are informal, 3-minute / 3-slide presentations that offer a brief insight into your digital humanities project, research, or question. Projects at any stage–whether just beginning, in-development, or completed–are welcome! The audience includes a diverse community of engaged CUNY students and colleagues who are eager to hear about your project and offer feedback.

As a presenter, you will have the option to either present live over Zoom or join us in person at CUNY Graduate Center. We welcome first-time presenters, as well as those who have participated in past CUNY DHI Lightning Talks. Learn more about some projects and past presentations on the CUNY DHI website.

Presenters’ slides will be due by Monday, October 27th 2025 and made available after the event on our CUNY DHI blog.
