The Digital.Humanities@Oxford Summer School is a five day course introducing a range of digital research components to researchers, project managers, research assistants, or students working on any kind of project concerned with the creation or management of digital data for the humanities.
The summer school is a collaboration for Digital.Humanities@Oxford between Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS), Oxford e-Research Centre (OERC), e-Research South, the Bodleian Library, and Wolfson College Digital Research Cluster, under the direction of Sebastian Rahtz and James Cummings at OUCS.
The summer school takes place from 25th-29th July 2011, and is based at Wolfson College, Oxford. Residential accommodation is not included in the registration fee.
Please contact us by email on dhss@oucs.ox.ac.uk if you have any questions about the summer school.
The schedule (also available in ICS Format) comprises:
Participants should be generally computer literate (web, email, word-processors) for this course. They should be enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by digital technologies and keen to learn more, be prepared to get their hands dirty at the keyboard and should not be afraid of a little technical jargon.
Unfortunately booking and registration for the summer school has closed for this year.
Bed and breakfast accommodation is available at Wolfson College in comfortable en-suite rooms, and can be booked directly with the college through the Events and Conference Manager (email events@wolfson.ox.ac.uk, tel: +44 (0)1865 274083). Please quote 'DHSS' as the event.
There is still some bedroom availability at Wolfson College for the early dates of the Summer School (Sunday through Tuesday nights), but the latter dates are sold out. A Waiting List is being held by Wolfson Conference Office, in case vacancies arise.
Although Wolfson College is the recommended accommodation, there are other hotels, guest-houses and B&Bs. The Daily Info, Oxford site may be of help in finding them.
Included in the programme will be some optional evening events. We will have drinks receptions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but other events are taking place in Oxford at the same time, and we've made some recommendations. These are simply events happening in Oxford during the time of the workshop that we think you might enjoy and are provided as suggestions for your consideration. We are not responsible for any of the events and cannot book you on those events.
