This years Digital Classics seminar is due to begin on June 5. The classics field is one of the most active in the Digital Humanities and this years seminar has attracted many international speakers discussing diverse topics from Herodotus, to Philology, to agent-based modelling. For those historians and academics who are not particularly strong in classical thinking (like myself), these forums are still valuable for learning about the computational methods that may be useful for other areas of the humanities. The evening usually ends in lively discussions in one of London’s finest watering holes.

ALL WELCOME
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 the interdisciplinary and collaborative work that results at the
interface of expertise in Classics or Archaeology and Computer Science.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
