This year’s Digital Classicist London summer seminar series, hosted by the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London, invited proposals on any aspect of the ancient or pre-colonial worlds, including archaeology, cultural heritage, history, language, literature and their reception, that address innovative digital approaches to research, teaching, dissemination or engagement. We particularly welcomed proposals that integrate research, archival and scientific data across disciplinary or other boundaries.
The organisers (Gabriel Bodard and Elizabeth Koch-Kölük at the ICS, Stephen Kay at the British School in Rome, and Katharine Shields at King’s College London) are delighted to share the programme of seminars, all of which will be streamed live as well as delivered in person in London. The rich variety of presenters, methodologies and subject areas represented in this programme is especially pleasing to us, and helps to showcase both the depth and breadth of this thriving discipline.
All seminars are held at 17:00 BST (UTC+1) on Fridays, live on Youtube and in person in Senate House MakerSpace, room 265, University of London.
Booking recommended for in-person attendance. Not required for online attendance (live or any time after) at Youtube. Use links below.
