Toronto Metropolitan University
Centre for Digital Humanities
December 2024
- CDH events are open to the TMU community and beyond.
- Also, check out the workshops hosted by the Collaboratory!
The Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) is temporarily located on the 4th floor of the Podium (POD) building (where the School of Law is currently situated) and is planning to have a permanent home in the Library building (LIB) in the future. CDH events are held virtually (on Zoom) and in-person in the TMU Libraries’ Collaboratory.
Join us! If you have an idea for a CDH-hosted event or a question, please contact CDH Director Jason Boyd (jason.boyd@torontomu.ca) or CDH Manager Reg Beatty (rbeatty@torontomu.ca).
CDH Virtual
Drop-Ins
Each month, weekly drop-ins will be dedicated to a specific theme. Tiny Tools Tour, Web Walks, and DH Workbench are explorations of a digital resource or tool for research, creativity, and/or teaching. Stories in Play features discussion of entries in the Playable Stories Archive and episodes of the Playable Stories: Unarchived podcast, both of which are focused on storytelling in games. Reading Bytes is a reading group for discussion of published digital humanities scholarship. DH@TMU Talks feature CDH members presenting their research.

Diary of a Digital Humanist
Reg Beatty
The 2024 edition of The Day of DH is organised by centerNet—an international network of digital humanities centres—and allows members of each centre an “opportunity to showcase what Digital Humanities means to you and how it shapes your work, research, or community activities.”
TMU’s Centre for Digital Humanities will be participating with an all-day live posting event at the Library’s Collaboratory. Join the CDH’s project manager Reg Beatty, “look over his shoulder,” chat, make suggestions, and blue-sky ideas while he posts about applying these to future CDH events.

If you’d like to propose a presentation, a topic of discussion, or a technology you’d like us to workshop, please use our “Suggestions Box.”
The Library Collaboratory is accessed from the 3rd floor of the SLC Building: take the stairs to the 3rd floor and walk along the hallway past the elevators, or, if using the elevators, turn left when exiting: the Library Collaboratory is at the end of the hall, marked with large yellow doors.
