Workshop for Graduate Students—March 2026 (Deadline: December 1, 2025)
PROPOSAL DEADLINE: Monday, December 1, 2025.
Submit a proposal for the Post45 Data Collective Graduate Workshop here or below.
The Post45 Data Collective invites graduate students in the humanities or adjacent fields to explore cultural data reflexively and collaboratively in a mini-workshop hosted virtually on Friday, March 13.
This one-day workshop will explore the intersections of DH scholarship and DH professionalization, inviting early-career scholars to think alongside editors from the P45DC (Alexander Manshel, J.D. Porter, and Melanie Walsh), the Nineteenth-Century Data Collective, Post45 Journal, and Public Books**. Feedback will focus not only on how to make meaning from data, but also how to situate data-driven humanities scholarship in an ever-changing professional landscape.
The mini-workshop will consist of ~12 short graduate student presentations (10-15 minutes) that each use one or more of the P45DC datasets.
Presentations themselves should be approached creatively and expansively: some projects might be polished and complete, and others might be in exploratory or in-progress phases.
Post-presentation discussion will be oriented toward future possibilities of your project, including insight from more senior scholars on topics like peer review, public-facing publication, dissertation writing, or framing for the job market.
