Greetings from the Price Lab!

 

Dream Lab is the four-day digital humanities training institute hosted at the University of Pennsylvania. It is designed with grad students and early-career academic professionals and cultural heritage workers in mind. The goal is to help you become more confident users, creators, and critics of technology. 

 

We are absolutely thrilled that registration for Dream Lab 2023 is open and classes are already filling up. Dream Lab will be in person on our Philly campus June 5-8 and we have an exciting slate of classes:

 

• Advocating for Community: Data Collection and Visualization, Dr. Jennifer Garcon, Cassandra Hradil, and Emily Esten
• Black Speculative Digital Arts and Humanities, Dr. Michael Burns & Dr. Clay Colmon
• Creative Coding, Dr. Mark Sample
• Digital Humanities in the Classroom, Dorothy Berry & Roberto Vargas
• Digital Surrogates, Dot Porter
• East Asian Studies and Digital Humanities, Dr. Paula R. Curtis & Dr. Paul Vierthaler
• Humanities Mapping, Dr. Andrew Janco
• Nuts and Bolts of DH Project Development, Kayla Abner & Lauren Cooper
• Text Analysis, Dr. J.D. Porter

 

Dream Lab charges a registration fee so we can fairly pay the instructors who plan and teach the courses and to arrange for them to be in Philadelphia for the week. We have a discounted fee for students as well as a discount for registering BEFORE MIDNIGHT May 19, 2023 (because early registration makes it easier for us to plan). We have also reduced the fee for the East Asian Studies and Digital Humanities course which will be held online (note this is the only class that will be held online and that it has a separate registration process). Registration fees are as follows:
