Dear all,
This summer the Digital Classicist will be offering a series of
seminars to run through June, July, and August at the Institute of
Classical Studies, to fill the slot left by the popular postgraduate
Work in Progress series on Fridays at 16:30. The Work in Progress
seminars are traditionally a non-threatening environment for postgrads
to present their current work to an audience of other students. The
summer seminar series are usually less exclusive than this, with
non-postgrads also both presenting and in the audience, but the
informal tone is retained. In addition, we should like to encourage
presentations that introduce a broad audience to new topics,
techniques, and technologies, and may have a pedagogical rather than a
purely expository tone. (Of course, the focus should also include
research topics of classical/historical/archaeological interest.)
We are inviting both students and established researchers involved in
the application of the digital humanities to the study of the ancient
world to come and introduce their work. The focus of this seminar
series is in line with that of the Digital Classicist as a whole, in
that the aim is to bring together scholars to address issues of
collaborative work and the new methodologies enabled and in some cases
necessitated by the digital academy. As we know, these digital methods
are far from being marginal to traditional classical scholarship; they
offer new perspectives and new ways to approach essential research
questions, thus both underpinning and becoming central to the
advancement of our discipline.
We would be grateful if members of this group would either consider
speaking in this series, or could recommend someone involved with
relevant work to present to the DC/ICS Work in Progress seminar. Please
feel free to circulate this invitation anywhere it might be welcome.
Please contact both [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]
if you have any further questions about the seminars. A programme will
be arranged and circulated once we have assigned dates that suit all
proposed speakers.
The DC/ICS WiP seminars are sponsored by the Institute of Classical
Studies and the Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College
London.
Best regards,
Simon Mahony
