A three-week hybrid summer institute to train participants in born-digital scholarly publishing methods.
Brown University Library requests funding to support a hybrid three-week summer institute (July 8-23, 2024) with virtual and in-person components for fifteen participants who wish to develop innovative born-digital scholarship intended for publication by a university press, but may lack the necessary resources and capacity at their home institutions. The institute will equip humanities scholars from all career levels and across disciplines with in-depth knowledge of the digital publishing process, concrete and individualized plans for project advancement, and top-level publishing industry contacts. Centered on inclusivity and accessibility, the institute aims to broaden the range of scholars producing born-digital publications and, by extension, the audience for digital humanities scholarship.
