While research posters have long been used in the hard sciences to convey the results of experiments in undergraduate and graduate research, posters can be adapted to display research done in the humanities as well. While they might look quite different from scientific posters, there a few styles that lend themselves well to humanities research.
Formats that have been utilized for humanities posters:
• Modified IMRaD
• Thematic
• Narrative
• Questions and Answers
• Chronological
Modified IMRaD: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions
Thematic: Group sections of your poster according to different themes that emerge from your research
Narrative: Tell a story about your topic or research question
Chronological: starting with the earliest and following the order in which they occurred
Questions and Answers: Summarize your main research questions and how you answered them.
