The Digital Humanities Pedagogy Workshop (April 28-29, 2026) is for faculty and graduate student instructors who are interested in exploring the use of digital humanities methods in the classroom. We recognize that everyone will be coming to the workshop with different levels of expertise therefore we will not focus specifically on teaching how to use digital humanities tools but rather on approaches and concepts that will enable you to design a course-related assignment or project. Explore the digital companion to Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom which includes sample syllabus materials and assignments.
The workshop will take place in-person on April 28-29, 2026 in Tisch Library. It will be structured around discussion, paired conversations, hands-on application, break-out groups, and guided activities.
Participants should bring their ideas and any content they might already have or would like to revise for use in a course or specific assignment that will incorporate digital humanities methods.
In this workshop participants will:
- Be introduced to key digital humanities concepts and methods
- Identify learning objectives and outcomes related to your digital assignment or project
- Incorporate creative assessment approaches
- Apply a critical lens and pedagogical approaches to student-centered learning in the digital humanities
Apply using this form by February 17, 2026.
We will select up to 15 applicants for this workshop and will send out notifications by the end of February 23, 2026.
