CFP: Digital Approaches and the Ancient World
by Gabriel BODARD 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Dear Medievalists, Please see the call for papers below, in which the "ancient world" is defined both geographically and chronoligically more widely than the classical Mediterranean, and so explicitly overlaps with what is generally considered mediaeval. In any case, as I@m sure you realize, a great many digital humanities methods applied to classical and mediaeval topics are likely to be of broad mutual interest. I hope therefore some of you might consider submitting to this issue. Please circulate this call widely. Many thanks, Gabby ======================================= *Digital Approaches and the Ancient World* A themed issue of the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Editors: Gabriel Bodard (University of London) gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk Yanne Broux (KU Leuven) yanne.broux(a)arts.kuleuven.be Ségolène Tarte (University of Oxford) segolene.tarte(a)oerc.ox.ac.uk Call for papers: We invite colleagues all around the world and at all stages of their careers to submit papers on the topic of “Digital Approaches and the Ancient World” to a themed issue of the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies. The topic is to be construed as widely as possible, to include not only the history, archaeology, language, literature and thought of the ancient and late antique Mediterranean world, but also of antiquity more widely, potentially including, for example, South and East Asian, Sub-Saharan African or Pre-Columbian American history. Digital approaches may also vary widely, to include methodologies from the digital humanities and information studies, quantitative methods from the hard sciences, or other innovative and transdisciplinary themes. Papers will be fully peer reviewed and selected for inclusion based not only on their research quality and significance, but especially on their ability to engage profoundly both with classics/history academic readers, and scholars from digital or informatic disciplines. We are keen to see papers that clearly lay out their disciplinary and interdisciplinary methodological approaches, and present and interpret the full range of scholarly and practical outcomes of their research. We encourage the use of and direct reference to open online datasets in your papers. BICS is not currently an open access publication, but self-archiving of pre-press papers is permitted, and the editors believe in the transparency and accountability that comes with basing scientific work on open data. To submit an article to this themed issue, please send your full paper of 4,000–8,000 words in Microsoft Word doc, docx or rtf format, to <gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk>, along with a 150 word abstract, by January 31, 2016. You do not need to follow BICS style for the initial submission, but please note that the final version of accepted articles will need to be formatted to adhere to our style guide (http://www.icls.sas.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/STYLE-V15.pdf). If you have any questions about this issue, please feel free to contact any of the editors informally. -- Dr Gabriel BODARD Reader in Digital Classics Institute of Classical Studies University of London Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU E: Gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk T: +44 (0)20 78628752 http://digitalclassicist.org/

Leeds DigiHum, Conor Kostick on 'Digital Linguistics and Climate Change'
by Victoria Cooper 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Dear all (with apologies for cross-posting) The University of Leeds Digital Humanities Series is immensely excited to present the illustrious Dr Conor Kostick of the University of Nottingham for our next talk on Monday 2nd November. Dr Kostick will be talking about his current research into historical climate change as well as his work on digital linguistics in relation to the Crusades. His current research relates to understanding our environmental history in order to ascertain a more detailed picture of the climate in the late antique and early medieval periods. Recent advances in scientific research on the period has provided greater data. Combined with the increasing ability to collate large numbers of historical European documents this has led to an unprecedented opportunity to explore the effects of historical climate change, and this talk will explore what this evidence can tell us about the period. Dr Kostick will also be sharing some of the digital methods and techniques he has used in his many publications on the Crusades, a subject which remains close to his heart. We hope you're as excited as we are about this talk, which promises to be an insightful seminar from a very distinguished scholar and author, and we really hope lots of you can make it. The seminar will start at about 6:00PM on Monday 2nd Nov in LHRI Seminar Room 1, where there will be tea and biscuits before the talk, and will run until roughly 7:30PM, after which some manner of dinner will likely be on the cards. Please join us for the talk, and if you would like to come for dinner let us know in advance at leedsdigihum(a)leeds.ac.uk. Our full programme (and directions to the venue) is available at: www.leedsdigihum.wordpress.com. Please have a look for our upcoming events! All the best, Victoria, James and Claudia The Leeds Digital Humanities Series is sponsored by The Cultural Institute, University of Leeds.
