Graduate Community of Digital Scholars

The Graduate Community of Digital Scholars is a joint program of the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, and the Digital Publishing in the Humanities initiative. Our goal is to offer a supportive and welcoming space for Emory graduate students to share and discuss works-in-progress which engage with the digital humanities, whether dissertation research, public humanities projects with digital components, grant applications for digital projects, or pedagogical materials using digital tools or technologies.

The format for AY 2024-25 is a works-in-progress workshop with monthly meetings over lunch. Participants are expected to attend consistently and to carefully review fellow participants’ pre-circulated materials prior to each session. Participants may share written material, digital prototypes, or a mixture of the two. Data tables or databases cannot themselves be the entire focus of a works-in-progress discussion. Applications for grants or other opportunities should contain a substantial and explicit focus on digital work.

Former GCDS participants are warmly encouraged to attend and to share their work, though presentation slots will prioritize students who have never shared work at GCDS before. Our 2024-25 workshop will run from September to May. Registrations will close on September 13, 2024.
