LAWDI Event
Digital Antiquity Coffee House
The Library and the Digital Programs team of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World continue the work of the Linked Ancient World Data Initiative (LAWDI) with an informal coffee house for New York metro area scholars and scholars-in-training with an interest in digital approaches to the study of antiquity.
We invite all scholars interested in the application of digital techniques to the study of antiquity to participate in an informal workshop devoted to works in progress. We extend a special invitation to first- and second-year graduate students who are new to the digital humanities and interested in learning more about the local digital projects, initiatives, and community in ancient studies.
Presentations will be approximately 15-20 minutes in length with time for discussion afterwards. Information about the presentations and some of the participants may be found here.
If you are planning on attending, please email David Ratzan at david.ratzan@nyu.edu by noon, Sept. 30, 2015.
