Montreal Digital Humanities Summer Institute Fellowship
The Digital Humanities Summer Institute Fellowship offers Brown doctoral students $1,500 toward tuition, travel, and lodging in order to attend the two-week Digital Humanities Summer Institute in Montreal, Canada in June 2026.
The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is an annual digital scholarship training institute that brings together faculty, staff, and students from the arts, humanities, library, and archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. DHSI provides a community-based environment for discussing and learning about new technologies and how they influence teaching, research, creation, and preservation in different disciplines. Participants share ideas and methods as well as develop expertise in advanced technologies during this time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures. DHSI is hosted by the Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur les humanités numériques (CRIHN) and takes place at the Université de Montréal campus.
