Community of Practice
Please note, this event is a meeting of the Digital Humanities Community of Practice, which is open to University of Reading researchers only. If you are interested in any of the presentations, please contact the speakers directly (details included below).
This term’s meeting of the Digital Humanities Community of Practice will be taking place on Wednesday 9 October 2022, 14:00-16:00.
The COP is a space for colleagues with an interest in Digital Humanities to come together, share ideas and expertise, and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by digital research and engagement with Digital Humanities as a discipline.
It is open to all researchers, staff, and PGRs from any subject – we welcome interdisciplinary collaboration!
The meeting will be on campus, but will have a hybrid option in order to ensure ongoing accessibility for those especially vulnerable to Covid-19.
