Subject: REMINDER Workshop "Writing the history of computer visualizations in the sciences"
Dear colleagues,
We're very excited to remind you about an upcoming two-day event, "Writing the
History of Computer Visualizations in the Sciences: Production, Uses,
Circulation (1940-1990)", taking place on May 2nd and 3rd 2024 at the École des
Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris (54 boulevard Raspail, 75006 PARIS).
The event aims to bring together historians of science in order to explore the
extent to which the use of computer display technologies for producing, reading,
interacting and sharing visualizations has affected the production of scientific
knowledge. A keynote presentation by Janina Wellmann (MPIWG) will be held on
Thursday, May 2.
This event is organized by the team of the ANR project DESIGNSHS (Design
Graphique, Recherche et Patrimoine des Sciences Sociales. Le laboratoire de
Graphique de Jacques Bertin - ANR-20-CE27-0023), supervised by Charlotte Bigg
(CNRS, EHESS, Centre Alexandre Koyré) and Anne-Lyse Renon (Université Rennes 2,
PTAC).
We invite you to join us either in person or online. For the latter option,
please send an email to edgarlejeune@hotmail.fr and to edgar.lejeune@ehess.fr
Below you can find the schedule for the event. Please feel free to ask for the
complete program!

Subject: CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS – DATA DRIVEN CLASSICS: EXPLORING THE POWER OF SHARED DATASETS
Dear colleagues,
The Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London is excited to
announce a unique opportunity for scholars interested in the intersection of
Classics and digital methodologies. We invite you to participate in our upcoming
event entitled Data Driven Classics: Exploring the Power of Shared Datasets on
5th July 2024.
Date: 5th July 2024
Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Venue: King’s College London, Embankment Room MB-1.1.4 (Macadam Building, Strand
Campus)
About the Workshop:
The study of the ancient world increasingly relies on curated datasets,
emphasising the importance of data sharing and reproducibility for open research
in today’s technologically interconnected world. In this context, the workshop
aims to achieve two main objectives:
1. Raise awareness on the significance of datasets, data papers, and data-
sharing for Classics.
2. Guide classicists in identifying, utilising, and sharing datasets within
the scientific community.
The workshop will consist of a one-day programme featuring engaging
presentations, hands-on sessions, and roundtable discussions led by experts in
the field. In the morning session, our four invited speakers will explore the
importance of data-sharing and present case studies of published datasets in
Classics, covering linguistic and historical-geographical perspectives. This
will be followed by a general discussion on data use and sharing.
Invited speakers:
Dr Mandy Wigdorowitz (University of Cambridge), Humanities has a place in the
open research and data sharing ecosystem
Paola Marongiu (University of Neuchâtel), Collecting, creating, sharing and
reusing data in Classics: an overview of the best practices
Mathilde Bru (University College London), Building and publishing a dataset as a
Classicist
Prof Claire Holleran (University of Exeter), Working with epigraphic datasets:
mapping migration in Roman Hispania
In the early afternoon, participants will engage in hands-on activities, working
in groups to describe datasets and identify their potential for reuse. They are
encouraged to bring their own datasets, if available, to receive feedback from
both the workshop facilitators and fellow participants. Feedback will focus not
only on the quality of the data itself but also on the best practices for
sharing it (e.g., format, open repository, deposition process). For those who do
not have their own datasets, we will provide sample datasets to familiarise
themselves with various repository types and data formats. Participants will
also have the opportunity to learn about different platforms for data sharing
and essential elements such as creating a README file and understanding its
purpose. Discussions will also cover vital aspects such as licensing options and
the significance of obtaining a DOI for datasets.
Who can attend:
This workshop is open to postgraduate students, researchers, and staff members
interested in Classics, regardless of their level of expertise in digital
methodologies. We especially encourage participation from those with an interest
in linguistics, archaeology, history, and related fields. Participants are
sought within and outside King’s College London. Preference will be given to
applicants whose cover letters demonstrate that their research projects or
professional pursuits benefit from the event. We also aim to maintain a balanced
representation across disciplinary backgrounds.
Registration and logistics:
Seats for this workshop are limited. To apply for participation, please email
Andrea Farina and George Oliver at andrea.farina[at]kcl.ac.uk and

.pdf format and writing “REGISTRATION Data Driven Classics” as the subject of
your email. In your cover letter, please state your name, affiliation, position
(student, PhD student, Lecturer etc.), email address, and your field in Classics
(e.g., linguistics, history, etc.), and explain why you would like to attend the
workshop and how it can benefit your research.
There is no registration fee for this event. However, participants are
responsible for covering their travel expenses through their own institutions.
The workshop will accommodate a maximum of 25 participants to ensure adequate
assistance during the hands-on session.
Important dates:
Deadline to submit expression of interest with cover letter: 22nd May 2024.
