Overview
The DH Pedagogy and Training SIG will hold a Pedagogy Poster Slam at the 2026 DH Conference in Daejeon, South Korea. The Pedagogy Poster Slam will take place during the SIG’s reserved slot during one of the conference’s two workshop days, either Monday, 27 July 2026, or Tuesday, 28 July 2026.
Posters will either focus on a) a specific assignment for a DH or DH-inflected course or b) an entire course. During the workshop, participants will first participate in the Slam, where they will have a maximum of 120 seconds to discuss one aspect of their assignment or course.
Once the participants have all spoken, the rest of the workshop will be devoted to a conventional poster session, where attendees can engage with the presenters at their posters. Presenters will be encouraged to bring print copies of their assignment/syllabus to distribute to attendees.
All conference attendees will be welcome to attend the workshop and slam. (Plus, there will be food!)
Call for Proposals
The SIG Conveners invite all members of the DH community to submit proposals for the Pedagogy Poster Slam. Proposals will include
- 150 words or fewer about the context of the assignment, course, or workshop
- 200 words or fewer about the assignment, course, or workshop
- An upload of either the assignment or the course syllabus
Proposals should be submitted via the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/zdkNEHXPDppXQz3E6. Proposals are due by the end of 5 January 2026. Accepted participants will be notified not later than 5 February 2026. Proposals will be peer reviewed by the SIG Conveners.
N.B. Please be aware that posters submitted to the pre-conference SIG Pedagogy Poster Slam are distinct from the DH2026 poster submission category. The Program Committee for DH2026 has indicated that you are welcome to submit posters to both the main conference as well as to this SIG workshop, although the submission format is significantly different.
Depositing Posters
Following the Conference, the SIG Conveners will create and curate a collection of the posters and associated pedagogical documents.
