Dear colleagues,

The department of Classics at Würzburg University is pleased to
announce the ENCODE winter school “Papyrology for non-specialists”.

The winter school is aimed both at non-specialists who seek a first
introduction into papyrology and at papyrologists who are teaching
papyrology to students of other subjects.
We intend to present and to put into practice a range of methods to
make Greek and Latin papyri accessible to the non-specialist, with a
focus on digital tools and resources.

The ENCODE winter school is to be held at Wuerzburg, 14-17 February
2022. Participation is possible in presence and online. More
information about the course and how to apply is available at:
bit.ly/3nMtset
The application deadline is 2 February.

We would be very grateful if you could forward this email to anyone  who
might be interested.

Best regards,
Holger Essler and Birgit Breuer

        Subject: #GrapHum2022: Graphs and Networks in the Humanities Conference 2022 - registration open

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the programme for the upcoming conference
Graphs and Networks in the Humanities 2022. Originally planned as an event
in Amsterdam, the conference has been forced by the ongoing circumstances
of the pandemic to move online. Although this was of course regrettable, we
hope that the move will pay off by allowing many more interested colleagues
to participate!

Registration for the conference is possible on
https://graphentechnologien.hypotheses.org. This page provides access to
the programme and the abstracts. Registration will also grant access to the
Perusall platform where the abstracts have been published in advance for
comment and feedback from participants.

With best wishes,
The Programme Committee

Joris van Zundert (Chair)
