ISHI is now accepting applications for its Spring 2027 internship, The Interconnected Places Lab Internship. This three-credit undergraduate internship trains students to investigate historical places and trace their connections across local, regional, and global networks. Interns complete a semester-long research project that begins with an in-depth study of a single place and expands outward to examine its connections to migration, labor, infrastructure, memory, ecology, and contested boundaries. No prior experience with historical research or digital methods is required.
During the internship, students will develop:
- Historical research and digital storytelling skills by creating a published project
- Experience with digital humanities tools and methods, including GitHub, QGIS, Leaflet, and Java
- Skills in spatial analysis and digital mapping
Undergraduate students interested in the Spring 2027 internship should complete the application form. Applicants will be asked to propose a place to study and briefly explain why they selected it. The internship will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM during the spring semester. Please write to ISHI@pitt.edu with any questions.
Applications will begin to be reviewed on October 30, 2026, and will be considered on a rolling basis thereafter.
