Digital Classicist London 2015 call for papers
by Simon Mahony 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

The Digital Classicist London seminars provide a forum for research into the ancient world that employs innovative digital and interdisciplinary methods. The seminars are held on Friday afternoons from June to mid-August in the Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London, WC1E 7HU. We are seeking contributions from students as well as established researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers discussing individual projects and their immediate contexts, but also wish to accommodate the broader theoretical considerations of the use of digital methods in the study of the ancient world, including ancient cultures beyond the classical Mediterranean. You should expect a mixed audience of classicists, philologists, historians, archaeologists, information scientists and digital humanists, and take particular care to cater for the presence of graduate students in the audience. There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend). To submit a proposal for consideration, email an abstract of no more than 500 words to s.mahony(a)ucl.ac.uk <mailto:s.mahony@ucl.ac.uk> by midnight GMT on March 8th, 2015. Further information and details of past seminars, including several peer-reviewed publications, are available at: http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/index.html> Regards Simon Mahony
