How to have the best possible conference experience

Consider completing early-bird check-in the day prior to Research Day. Early-bird check-in times and locations will be announced in March. If early-bird check-in is not an option, please arrive at check-in by 8:30. On Research-Day, check-in stations will be in front of Magnolia Ballroom for poster presentations and by Arts and Sciences for others. Upon check-in, you will receive a name badge, which will also have a QR code to give you access to the full, detailed schedule. Feel free to visit other students' presentations until time for your presentation. Arrive at the room for your presentation at least 10 minutes before the session is due to begin. During any sessions, do not leave the presentation room until all presentations are completed and do NOT be on any electronic devices including a cellphone. Browse through the poster sessions to find out what other researchers are doing. 

Presentation Schedule available: The full presentation will be available before Research Day (March 27th).

What Are Digital Humanities Projects?

A digital humanities project uses digital tools to investigate topics in the humanities. DH projects may include, but are by no means limited to, interactive mapping, data and spatial visualization, podcasts, virtual reality, text and social network analysis, data structuring, and web publishing.

Students may submit proposals for oral or poster presentations to be included in the special DH sessions at Research Day. Proposals should include the digital project’s URL.

Students presenting in the DH sessions are eligible to receive monetary awards for excellence in DH scholarship from the Digital Humanities Collaborative. For examples of DH scholarship by GCSU students, see the DHC’s project showcase.

When submitting, the student must select the discipline of "Arts and Humanities," and then click on the plus sign to select “Digital Humanities.”

Abstracts are due at the same time of the SRC submissions in Early Spring 2024, no later than 5:30 p.m.
