Digital Humanities Summer Institute: Technologies East (or DHSITE) is a bilingual (French/English) summer research institute hosted at the University of Ottawa. DHSITE 2025: Making with/in the Public will take place October 14-17, 2025, “bringing together scholars, students, activists, and community members to explore how digital tools and intersectional feminist practices can support advocacy, public scholarship, and ethical research.” Sessions across the four days of the event, planned in partnership with the Digital Feminist Network, span topics from feminist organizing and archiving Indigenous records to student-led research and oral history projects.
From the event website:
The event’s theme invites participants to reflect on three interconnected approaches to digital work: making as inquiry, as relational, and as a mode of engaging with/in the public. Through hands-on workshops, roundtables, and keynotes, participants will learn not only how to analyze and create digital media, but also how to build collaborative and caring practices that respond to urgent social issues in public-facing ways.
Registration is currently open; for those unable to attend the event in-person in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, virtual registration for some workshops and keynote presentations is available.
