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 colleagues who are eager to hear about your project and offer feedback. 

As a presenter, you will have the option to either: 1) submit your slides and present live over Zoom or 2) join us at the Graduate Center’s Segal Theater to present your slides in-person. We encourage you to participate in whichever way you feel most comfortable. For either option, please submit your slides so we can add them to the event slide deck. Slides will be made available after the event on our CUNY DHI blog. 

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.

Following presentations, participants and attendees will have an opportunity to socialize and ask questions in a general discussion.
