By carrying out this work, the intern will also learn about open-access academic publishing and, as a key outcome, will co-author research with the ETCL team that will be published with Open Scholarship Press. The second part of the internship will involve assisting the ETCL team with the organization of the 2023 Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI; dhsi.org). DHSI 2023 will welcome ~500-750 participants for 2 weeks of learning, teaching, and sharing cutting-edge digital humanities work via week-long training courses, paper sessions, lunchtime talks, and institute lectures from prominent scholars at the University of Victoria (online and in-person).
