Digital and practical epigraphy workshop

We warmly invite you to apply for a five-day training workshop in digital and practical epigraphy at Dartmouth College, March 21-25, 2022.

This workshop, which will be hybrid in format to enable remote and in-person participation, is organized by Gabriel Bodard (Institute of Classical Studies, University of London), Elli Mylonas (Brown University), and Simone Oppen (Dartmouth College). Brinker Ferguson, Julie Hruby, and Jenny Lynn (all of Dartmouth College) will provide additional training. Thanks to the generosity of the Neukom Institute at Dartmouth College, this workshop will be free of charge.

The focus of this workshop will be twofold: to provide training in skills useful for Greek and Latin epigraphy (including squeeze-making, photogrammetry, and EpiDoc); and to work together to digitally publish Corinthian vase inscriptions using EpiDoc. EpiDoc is a consortium of guidelines and tools for the digital publication of inscriptions and ancient texts more generally (epidoc.sf.net). This workshop does not require special computing skills, though basic knowledge of Greek/Latin (or another ancient language), epigraphy, and the Leiden Conventions will be extremely helpful. We welcome participants of all levels, from undergraduate students to professors and other professionals. 

To apply for this workshop, please fill out this form (https://forms.gle/SLjB4bFenDGkwgq57) by Friday January 28, 2022. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email Simone Oppen (simone.a.oppen@dartmouth.edu).

Best,
Simone
