Winter Institute in Digital Humanities (WIDH) 2024 Registration Now Open!

The NYU Abu Dhabi Winter Institute in Digital Humanities (WIDH) is returning to an in-person format on the NYUAD campus from January 16-18, 2024. The WIDH is an event aimed at researchers and educators interested in the intersection of technology and the arts and humanities. This year’s event features hands-on courses, a plenary discussion, a poster session as well as networking opportunities in the culturally vibrant capital of the UAE.

The WIDH focuses on both research and pedagogy from an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. The topics addressed in the courses vary from year to year. The courses share a common vision of how the digital has changed, and continues to change, the way that we learn, teach, do research and disseminate knowledge. Certain courses also address new responsibilities and horizons for the arts and humanities in an age of automation. This year’s WIDH features courses on Digital History, Exploring Technologies of Text, Archiving for Digital Fieldwork, Implementing Learner-Created Podcasts, and more. 

Attendees will enroll in only one course for the duration of the Winter Institute. Most of the courses require no prior technical skills. Attendance in the Winter Institute is by application/registration only. A small number of fee-waiver spaces per course have been reserved for NYU affiliates without access to research funds (staff, students, post-docs, etc.) Places are very limited and courses will close once seats have been filled.
