The Caribbean Digital Virtual Artist’s Residency 2025

Welcome

Welcome to the Caribbean Digital Scholarship Collective (CDSC), where seasoned scholars, educators, and community groups collaborate to foster digital scholarship about the Caribbean and its diasporas. Through our programs—including summer schools, conferences, microgrants, and training—we aim to cultivate a new generation of students and practitioners from the Caribbean and the U.S. who will advance the fields of Caribbean Digital scholarship and the Digital Humanities. These opportunities are made possible by a generous Mellon Foundation grant.

At the CDSC, we are driven by the belief that holistic and agile thinking is essential to addressing today’s challenges of anthropogenic climate change, forced migrations, racial and ethnic clashes, and the (consequent) loss of valuable historical records. Our goal is to equip future scholars and practitioners with cross-disciplinary, intersectional, and practical tools for solving technological problems, allowing communities to better navigate an ever-changing world.

As we recognize the cultural and historical record's hybrid nature—part analog, part digital—our collective leverages computational methods to generate new insights and inspire groundbreaking research about the Caribbean.
