All welcome
Register to attend
Participants are invited to a full day organised by the Digital Approaches and Methodologies Network (DAMN) that will consist of a morning and afternoon session and culminate in a first draft of an article to be pitched to a Digital Humanities journal. In the morning session participants will present briefly on their own current project with a focus on digital methods. Participants will then be grouped into interest areas to write a section on their shared approaches and how they feel they fit into the field at large. The afternoon session will culminate in a first draft. Participants are invited to stay in touch with organisers to continue workshopping the article after the event. Tea and coffee will be provided. Lunch will not be provided.
About DAMN: Digital methods and approaches have been applied to humanities research since the computational turn in the late 20th Century, but with the recent boom in artificial intelligence and machine learning, these methods have never been more popular with scholars of the humanities. Inspired by the interest from graduate and early career scholars from the recent Emerging Digital Methodologies Conference, this new critical thinking community has been created to break down silos within Oxford and connect researchers in the digital humanities. The Digital Approaches and Methodologies Network (DAMN) creates a hub where graduates, early career researchers, and others in the scholarly community can congregate, network, dialogue, and learn from each other. This network centres around a fortnightly seminar series featuring scholars of different career stages, disciplinary backgrounds, and skillsets. The fortnightly seminar series runs in the alternative weeks of the Digital Scholarship at Oxford (DiSc) coffee mornings and will begin in Trinity term 2026. The goals of this hub are to bring together scholars of all backgrounds and career stages, create connection between faculties, and encourage dialogue and critical approaches toward emergent modes of digital humanities research (contact: damn@torch.ox.ac.uk).
