Connecting
Digital Scholarship Graduate Researchers
The Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship (SCDS) is at the forefront of empowering graduate students to explore digital scholarship through its Graduate Residency in Digital Scholarship. The program offers a unique opportunity for graduate students to advance their digital scholarship projects through expert consultation, research mentorship, skill sharing, comprehensive training opportunities, dynamic interdisciplinary collaboration, and a supportive digital scholarship community.
The Graduate Residency brings together an interdisciplinary group of graduate research from programs such as Global Health, Earth, Environment and Society, Communication Studies and Media Arts, English and Cultural Studies, Medical Science, Engineering, Social Work, Neuroscience, and more.
The residency program is designed to support graduate students to work on a facet of a research project in digital scholarship (related or not to their primary graduate research work), broadly defined, which expands and challenges their respective fields. Residents are encouraged to consider digital scholarship through critical, technical, artistic and experimental purviews, and through methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks that advance digital scholarship or provoke what it means to ‘do’ it. The residency’s collegial atmosphere is sustained through recurrent meetings during the Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 terms, facilitating interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration opportunities at the Sherman Centre and beyond. In addition to cohort meetings, the residency features self-directed research work. The format of the residency will be in-person.
