Recap: CUNY DHI Lightning Talks Fall 2023

On 20, Feb 2024 | No Comments | In Events of Interest, Resources | By Tuka Al-Sahlani

In Fall 2023, with the support of the DH community across CUNY, we held the Ninth Annual CUNY DHI Lightning Talks. For the first time, we held the event in a hybrid format, and  hosted 25 presenters, 25 in person attendees, and more than 50 Zoom attendees. Presenters represented CUNY community colleges, senior colleges, and programs from The Graduate Center. The projects illuminated current work in digital pedagogy, archives, publishing, mapping, and more in the field of DH, showcasing the future of the field, especially as it enters more undergraduate courses across CUNY campuses. 

Below you will find the program and the slides from the presenters. We hope to see you in our upcoming Lightning Talks! 

Remember to  join the Digital Humanities Initiative Group to keep abreast with the happenings of DH at CUNY.
