Greetings from the Price Lab at the University of Pennsylvania!

 

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

6. Humanities Mapping, Dr. Andrew Janco
7. Nuts and Bolts of DH Project Development, Kayla Abner & Lauren Cooper

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). Registration fees are as follows:
