Recap: CUNY DHI Lightning Talks 2024
On 10, Dec 2024 | In Events of Interest, Organizational Info | By Tuka Al-Sahlani
On Tuesday, November 19, 2024, with the support of the DH community across CUNY, we held the Tenth Annual CUNY DHI Lightning Talks. The event was a hybrid event with 22 presenters, 35 in-person and 29 virtual attendees. The Lightning Talks were also live streamed for the general public. Our program began with a keynote talk from Andie Silva, Associate Professor of English (York College) and Digital Humanities (Graduate Center), titled “The DH Syllabus as Archive: Digital Pedagogy, Feminist Citation, and Sustainability.” Following the keynote presentation, the Lightning Talks presenters shared with us their completed and/or on-going projects using the 3 minute/3 slides format. Presenters represented CUNY community colleges, senior colleges, and programs from The Graduate Center. The projects illuminated current work in digital pedagogy, archives, publishing, platform development, and more in the field of DH, showcasing the future of the field.
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.

The New York Public Library’s Map Warper is a free online crowdsourcing tool that enables librarians and the general public to align digital images of historical maps with today’s map through a process called georectification, or “warping” maps. As part of NYPL’s ongoing commitment to creating new publicly available resources and building new platforms for historical research, the Library has set out to warp over 4,000 maps!
In this hands-on workshop, we will give you an overview of the NYPL Map Warper tool (available at maps.nypl.org) as well as get you started warping maps. Come learn more about how to use this tool and the ways in which it can impact your research. For more information, watch the tutorial at maps.nypl.org, or send an email to [email protected] or [email protected].
This workshop is free and open to the public. Please register in advance to attend at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/citizen-cartography-nypl-map-warper-workshop-tickets-21536035863
