What is the GC Digital Research Institute?

The GC Digital Research Institute (DRI) is an introduction to core digital research skills that can be applied widely to different kinds of projects. This institute is catered towards building foundational skills and will be paced accordingly to ensure those who are new will leave feeling more confident in their skills. DRI is designed for beginning learners—those who have little or no prior experience working with a programming language.

Traditionally, the GC Digital Research Institute (GC DRI) takes place over a 4-day, in-person, intensive institute in mid-January. This year, however, the DRI will take the form of four remote sessions from Jan 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, 2025, where participants will develop basic digital research skills and connect with others in an interdisciplinary context.

It is an online training course for learning core digital research skills while connecting with peers in an interdisciplinary environment. The GC DRI combines training in areas such as HMTL/CSS, Python, command line, digital mapping, and data literacies, among others, with specialized workshops and professional development sessions.

Participants will share their academic goals, collaborate as they learn, and explore a variety of digital methods to employ in their research.

GC DRI Workshop Series is free and open to all members of the Graduate Center community.

GC DRI began in 2016 as part of the CUNY Strategic Investment Initiative and developed in partnership with Software Carpentry, the New York Public Library, Mozilla Science Lab, Humanities Intensive Learning and Teaching, and the Digital Humanities Summer Institute.

 

Supported by The Provost’s Office,
the Digital Research Institute is a GC Digital Initiative.
