Visiting Speaker Series
CDHI hosts an annual Visiting Speaker Series. This series brings leading scholars in critical Digital Humanities to the University of Toronto, creating opportunities for researchers to connect and learn together.
CDHI’s 2024-25 Visiting Speaker is Avery Dame-Griff. Dr. Dame-Griff joined CDHI for a public talk, titled “Tracing the Two Revolutions: A History of the Transgender Internet,” and a special graduate seminar on Working with Born-Digital Materials and Web History.
Avery Dame-Griff is a Lecturer in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Gonzaga University. He founded and serves as primary curator of the Queer Digital History Project, an independent community history project cataloging and archiving pre-2010 LGBTQ spaces online. In 2022, he served as a Public Humanities Fellow for Humanities Washington and is currently part of Humanities Washington’s Speakers’ Bureau.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 Visiting Speaker Series were held virtually.
