The ILiADS Steering Committee welcomes proposals for the tenth Institute
for Liberal Arts Digital Scholarship! This year’s Institute, hosted by Bryn
Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, will be held in person June 22-27,
2025.
ILiADS offers a week-long intensive environment for collaborative project
teams composed of some mix of researchers, librarians, archivists,
technologists, and students to build upon established digital pedagogy or
scholarship projects and/or launch new ones. To help get a new project
started and/or clear hurdles, each team is assigned a Liaison expert to
consult on the project and help connect them to other experts. The schedule
for the week includes focused team time supplemented by panels and talks
designed around the cohort. This allows time for hands-on exploration and
open inquiry and allows for the community to drive professional development
throughout the week through responsive pop-up sessions and spontaneous
collaborations. Over the course of the week, team members will learn more
about their own collaboration and how to sustain their project into the
future.
Registration costs for this year’s Institute are not yet finalized, but
teams should plan for how to cover registration, travel, lodging (on campus
option to be provided), and 3-4 dinners on their own during the week. For
more details, applicants are encouraged to review general information about
the cost and logistics

typically
associated with a team’s participation.
The steering committee encourages proposals from teams in whole or in part
new to digital scholarship. We employ an expansive definition of "digital
project" that can include topics like infrastructure development and
pedagogical practice. Projects of all types, and in any stage, are
welcomed. We invite projects led by staff and early career faculty, as well
as projects with substantial undergraduate leadership. We especially
encourage proposals from teams that include members who are Black,
Indigenous, Latinx, and people of color, people with disabilities,
neurodivergent people, and LGBTQ+ people.
As you prepare your submission, please follow the proposal guidelines

Additionally, the ILiADS Steering Committee seeks people who might serve as
liaisons to project teams at ILiADS 2024. Liaisons wear several hats -
including project manager, coach, and technical expert - as they help
shepherd teams from project acceptance in the spring through the week of
the summer institute.We are seeking liaisons with any combination of
expertise in: digital scholarship tools and methodologies; programming,
multimedia, and design experience; or audio/video production skills,
including 3-D/XR. If you’d like to be added to the liaison pool, fill out
this form
