open-in-new
<p>The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) is an annual <a href="/facts/Digital_humanities/wMSGWnw6">digital humanities</a> training program held in June at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Victoria/cpS82Pgt">University of Victoria</a>, <a href="/facts/British_Columbia/Ty3e3g1Q">British Columbia</a>, Canada. DHSI now attracts over 600 participants for two weeks of courses, forum discussions, paper sessions, and <a href="/facts/Unconferences/u6eVdzns">unconferences</a>. DHSI has an International Advisory Board. </p><p>In both the past and present, major overarching themes of DHSI have included collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and the creation and cultivation of a larger Digital Humanities community beyond the structure of the typical academic environment. It has been especially noted that DHSI encourages opportunities for digital humanists at all stages of their careers, levels of expertise in the field, and roles in the contribution to the Digital Humanities to engage and network with each other. </p><p>DHSI's course offerings run parallel to the DHSI Conference & Colloquium, formerly known as the DHSI Colloquium. Founded in 2009 by Diane Jakacki and Cara Leitch, the event invited graduate-only submissions until 2011. </p>
