Dear List Members, We are pleased to announce the following Call for Papers for the International Conference* “Translating Latin in the Contemporary World”*, to be held in June, 11-12, 2026, at the University of Bologna (Italy). The conference will address the topic of translation of Latin texts into modern languages – both natural and computer-based – by combining theoretical, historical, and cultural perspectives on translation. The goal is to bring together scholars from translation studies, classics, modern languages, comparative literature, linguistics, and digital humanities, to foster an interdisciplinary discussion of how the translation of Latin continues to shape the cultural and intellectual landscapes of the contemporary world. The conference will feature two keynote lectures by *Alexandra Lianeri *(Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and *Siri Nergaard* (University of South-Eastern Norway). We invite proposals that address the topic of translation of Latin texts into modern languages from a variety of perspectives, including but not limited to the following areas: - Challenges arising from the translation of Latin into modern languages – such as linguistic categories absent from either source or target language, stylistic and rhetorical features, or translation of *realia* - Case studies of Latin translations that have played a key role in the development of a given national literature or intellectual tradition - Instances of ideological or cultural manipulation of Latin texts in their modern translations - Comparative analyses of multiple translations of the same Latin text into a given language - The impact of digital humanities, machine translation, and artificial intelligence on the translation and interpretation of Latin texts - Didactic perspectives on the use of AI-based tools for the automatic translation of Latin texts - Pedagogical perspectives on translation as a hermeneutic tool for learning Latin - Cognitive approaches to translation and their relevance to the study of classical languages. *Contributions focusing on less commonly studied languages and traditions are particularly welcome.* Please send abstracts of up to 300 words for 20-minute papers (followed by a 10-minute discussion). Abstracts may be submitted in Italian, English, French, German, or Spanish; however, the working languages of the conference will be Italian and English. Submissions will be subject to blind review by the scientific committee. Please send your proposal to translating.latin(a)gmail.com by *15 January 2026*, attaching an anonymous abstract and including the following information in the body of the email: paper title, author’s name, affiliation, and email address for correspondence. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 February 2026.

02 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to a workshop/poster slam organized by the ADHO Special Interest Group Pedagogy and Training as part of the DH2026 conference in Daejon. Please note that this event will take place as a workshop in the pre-conference program – all poster submissions for this workshop will be reviewed by the SIG leaders, but are independent of poster submissions for the DH2026 conference! The DH Pedagogy and Training SIG will hold a Pedagogy Poster Slam at the 2026 DH Conference in Daejeon, South Korea. The Pedagogy Poster Slam will take place during the SIG’s reserved slot during one of the conference’s two workshop days, either Monday, 27 July 2026, or Tuesday, 28 July 2026. Posters will either focus on a) a specific assignment for a DH or DH-inflected course or b) an entire course. During the workshop, participants will first participate in the Slam, where they will have a maximum of 120 seconds to discuss one aspect of their assignment or course. Once the participants have all spoken, the rest of the workshop will be devoted to a conventional poster session, where attendees can engage with the presenters at their posters. Presenters will be encouraged to bring print copies of their assignment/syllabus to distribute to attendees. All conference attendees will be welcome to attend the workshop and slam. (Plus, there will be food!) Call for Proposals The SIG Conveners invite all members of the DH community to submit proposals for the Pedagogy Poster Slam. Proposals will include · 150 words or fewer about the context of the assignment, course, or workshop · 200 words or fewer about the assignment, course, or workshop · An upload of either the assignment or the course syllabus Proposals should be submitted via the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/zdkNEHXPDppXQz3E6. Proposals are due by the end of 5 January 2026. Accepted participants will be notified not later than 5 February 2026. Proposals will be peer reviewed by the SIG Conveners. N.B. Please be aware that posters submitted to the pre-conference SIG Pedagogy Poster Slam are distinct from the DH2026 poster submission category. The Program Committee for DH2026 has indicated that you are welcome to submit posters to both the main conference as well as to this SIG workshop, although the submission format is significantly different. Depositing Posters Following the Conference, the SIG Conveners will create and curate a collection of the posters and associated pedagogical documents.

Call for Abstracts: Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World - SA4AW2026
by Rachel Milio 24 Nov '25

24 Nov '25

---apologies for crossposting--- Call for Abstracts: Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World - SA4AW2026 May 7th-8th, 2026, in Rethymno, Crete (Greece) We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the 2nd Conference in Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World, taking place in Rethymno on May 7th-8th, 2026, is now open. The deadline is February 1st, 2026. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded) via EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026>. The conference is organised by the TALOS Centre in AI4SSH of the University of Crete (Horizon ERA Chair TALOS AI4SSH ID: 101087269) in collaboration with the Department of Philology, University of Crete. Learn more at the conference webpage<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/events/conferences/semantic-annotation-for-the-…>. Contact the organizers: sa4aw.contact(a)gmail.com Description We invite proposals for the 2nd Semantic Annotation for the Ancient World (SA4AW) conference, which examines the role of semantic annotation in dialogue with hybrid AI approaches, large language models (LLMs), deep learning, and knowledge graphs in the study of the ancient world and cultural heritage. Semantic annotation—whether manual, automated, or human-in-the-loop—enables the identification and linking of concepts, entities, and relationships, transforming raw textual and visual data into structured, interoperable knowledge. At a moment when LLMs can generate fluent interpretations but require grounding in domain-specific context, semantic annotation and knowledge graphs provide essential transparency, precision, and reusability. We welcome contributions that showcase methods, tools, case studies, theoretical reflections, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. In line with FAIR and Linked Open Data principles, the conference encourages open and accessible research practices. Conference proceedings will be published in open access online format. We encourage proposals on the following themes: * Semantic annotation in the era of LLMs (hybrid workflows, grounding, explainability) * Ontology-driven annotation and knowledge modelling * Knowledge graphs and Linked Open Data for ancient world studies * Human-in-the-loop annotation: methods, strategies, and pedagogy * Automatic and semi-automatic annotation pipelines * Cross-lingual and multilingual annotation (Ancient Greek, Latin, and historical languages) * Annotation and disambiguation of ancient places, persons, and cultural entities * NER and entity linking for ancient languages * RDF-based and ontology-aware digital editions * Standards, interoperability, and data sustainability (FAIR principles) * Platforms, tools, and reproducible workflows for annotation and data reuse Submission details: We invite proposals from all scholars, junior and senior, working in the topic areas of the conference. Please submit an abstract of max. 1,000 words (bibliography excluded, free format). Submissions will be reviewed via double-blind peer review through EasyChair<https://easychair.org/cfp/SA4AW2026> . Paper presentations will be 20 minutes long, with extra time for questions and discussion. The working language of the conference is English. A longer version of accepted papers will be published in an edited volume after the conference. More details about the edited volume are forthcoming. Important dates: * 1st announcement of the Call for abstracts: November 21st, 2025 * Deadline for submission: February 1st, 2026 * Notification of acceptance to authors: February 20th, 2026 * Deadline for confirmation of participation by accepted authors: February 28th, 2026 * Submission of camera-ready abstract: April 1st, 2026 * Conference dates: May 7th-8th, 2026 * Submission of camera-ready version (of final paper): December 1st, 2026 * Publication of Edited Volume: July 2027 Rachel Milio (she/her) PhD Candidate of TALOS-AI4SSH<https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/>, Semantic Annotation of Texts TALOS Address: University of Crete Research Center (UCRC), Level 1-Building Γ- Room Γ2 Gallos Campus, University of Crete, Rethymno, GR 74100 Office Phone: +30 28310 77141 Mobile Phone: +30 69816 31347 University Email: philp0997(a)philology.uoc.gr

10 December: CDCS Annual Lecture
by Jessica Witte 19 Nov '25

19 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, Please join us on 10 December for the Centre for Data, Culture & Society Annual Lecture which will be given by Dorothy Berry, Digital Curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. When: 10 December, 16.00-18.30 GMT Where: Room 2.55, 1 Lauriston Place, The University of Edinburgh and online Title: How Users Imagine Archival Research: JPCA Explore and Digital Curation at the Smithsonian National African American History and Culture Museum Abstract: In 2021, the National Museum of African American History and Culture created a first-of-its-kind position at the Smithsonian Institution: a senior level curator with the wide-ranging portfolio of “digital interpretation.” Filling this position has called for creative education, especially when working with curatorial colleagues with a range of experiences and interests in digital humanities. In the past year, we’ve had a unique opportunity to introduce the possibilities of digital discoveries internally through the JPCA Explore project. The Johnson Publishing Company Archive (JPCA) is the largest collection of 20th century African American publishing materials, including a core collection of over 3 million photographs.  The JPCA was purchased in 2019 by a consortium of funders - the Ford Foundation, the J. Paul Getty Trust, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the Smithsonian Institution. Since 2022, it has been formally co-stewarded by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and Getty. JPCA Explore is an experimental discovery lens in the larger in-development JPCA digital eco-system.  Based on a hand-selected subset of 3,000 images, Explore uses a bespoke metadata schema to invite users with zero research experience to create their own discovery paths by selecting inter-connected images. Explore was designed with an eye towards how the general public imagines archival discovery-moving from file to file, noticing connections, discovering the unknown. It has also served as an internal education tool, demonstrating the possibilities of digital humanities work as well as the intensive resources that are required to make those possibilities real. This talk will focus on the development of JPCA Explore and how it reflects wider issues around creating human-scale digital projects that still represent the magnitude of larger collections. By creating an interface with a focus on archival discovery, and at the same time completely ignoring archival hierarchical structures, this project seeks to implement Black Digital Humanities concepts to create new avenues into this archive. Please note that this will be a hybrid event. For those attending in person, there will be festive refreshments and a chance to network after the event. To book a place, please follow the EventBrite link here<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-users-imagine-archival-research-tickets-19…>. We hope to see you there!

Webinar: teaching humanities in the age of AI (11 November, 3pm GMT)
by Emily Middleton 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

Hi all, Please see below for details of an event happening next week in collaboration with Gale and *Research Information* on project-based learning with Gale Digital Scholar Lab. You can register for the webinar, taking place 11 November at 3pm GMT, here: https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738439&tp_key=9c1868453f. Full info: https://www.researchinformation.info/webcast/teaching-humanities-in-the-age… Teaching Humanities in the Age of AI – 11 Nov 2025, 3pm GMT. Supported by Gale REGISTER FOR FREE <https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738439&tp_key=9c1868453f> AI is one of the biggest global challenges to education. Coming at a time when universities also face ideological attacks, and disciplines in the arts and humanities are continually asked to demonstrate their modern relevance, the explosion in the use of generative AI tools has rocked how we teach and learn. The principal challenge comes from the ease with which learners can generate plausible-looking written work. Managing this puts a significant burden on institutions to develop policies around the use of AI, and on educators themselves. Consequently, many Higher Education institutions are exploring new ways to adapt and to develop AI-resilient methods of teaching, learning and assessment. This webinar will discuss alternatives that hold great potential in the face of AI: Project Based Learning (PBL) and digital humanities techniques. Drawing on real-life classroom experiences, we’ll see how introducing PBL through *Gale Digital Scholar Lab* provides a framework for teaching which is broadly AI-resistant, helping students to use GenAI responsibly and be critical of data, as well as giving them new ways of communicating in digital environments. Who Should Attend? Educators, librarians, curriculum development staff and university leadership who are: • Concerned about AI; • Looking to work out how best to evolve assessment in the world of GenAI; • Interested in incorporating DH into their curriculum; and • Already using digital humanities in their classroom, but looking for further tips and advice. What You’ll Learn • How digital humanities and Project-Based Learning can future-proof classrooms in the face of AI; • How to use tools which help educators new to digital humanities get started quickly; • Practical solutions for classroom use; • Ways to boost student digital literacy, and responsible use of AI; • Evidence of the continuing value of traditional humanities skills; and • Ways to champion humanities departments which are looking to demonstrate their relevance. SPEAKERS: Dr Emily Middleton Lecturer in Digital Humanities, University of Leeds Drawing on Emily’s classroom experiences using the Lab, we’ll gain a clear understanding of how digital humanities and Project-Based Learning provide a framework for her students to develop important critical and digital skills to navigate the new GenAI environment effectively and ethically. Chris Houghton Head of Academic Partnerships, Gale Chris, Head of Academic Partnerships at Gale, leads initiatives to integrate digital scholarship into humanities and social science practice. He will summarise the Gen AI landscape and outline the links between AI, digital humanities, and Project-Based Learning. MODERATOR: Tim Gillett, Research Information SPONSORS: <https://www.gale.com/> Gale, part of Cengage Group, partners with librarians and educators around the world to connect learners to essential content through user-friendly technology that enhances experiences and improves learning outcomes. www.gale.com Webcast date: 11 November 2025 - 15:00

Seminar Announcement – George Bruseker, Ontologies for Art History: Modelling Creative Processes and Evolving Meanings (3 November, 4 p.m., Rennes 2 / online)
by clarisse bardiot 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Dear colleagues, Here is a seminar announcement that may be of interest to some of you. Best regards, Clarisse Bardiot George Bruseker - Takins.solutions Ontologies for Art History: Modelling Creative Processes and Evolving Meanings. 3 novembre, 16h, salle T 233 (hybride) This lecture explores how formal ontologies and semantic data modelling can help art historians represent and connect complex cultural information in ways that go beyond the structuration and mindset imposed by traditional databases. We will examine how such approaches can support expressive and representative research datasets that have much more capacity to capture the complexity and nuance of the historical record while also standing as sus- tainable resources that can be reused across projects and disciplines. I will first reflect on the strengths and limitations of existing standards such as the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, now widely used in cultu- ral heritage documentation. I will then introduce two recent ontological frameworks: the Creative Process Representation Ontology (CPRo), which en- ables the modelling of creative activity as it unfolds across processes, forms into documents, is reinterpreted and performed; and the Art and Architectural Argumentation Ontology (AAAo), which provides a way to repre- sent social facts, conventions, and the evolving meaning and valuation of works over time. Throughout, I will illustrate these ideas with examples from art history, showing how they can illuminate not only objects and texts but also the dynamics of events, collaborations, and reception. No prior knowledge of ontologies or data modelling is assumed; the emphasis will be on making these ideas accessible and relevant to historical research on the arts. George Bruseker is a researcher and practitioner in semantic data modelling and cultural heritage informatics. He is Vice Chair of the CIDOC CRM Special Interest Group and co-founder of Takin.solutions Ltd., where he leads projects on ontological modelling and semantic platforms for heritage data. He is also a Research Affiliate at the Swiss Art Research Infrastructure (SARI). Trained as a philosopher and historian (PhD, University of Athens), Bruseker has contributed extensively to international standards such as CIDOC CRM, Linked.Art, and the Arches platform. His work develops frameworks for representing creative processes, social valuation, and provenance in art history, making complex heritage information more interoperable and reusable across disciplines and time. Seminar L’art des données, les données de l’art – Season 3 As part of the European research project STAGE – From Stage to Data: The Digital Turn of Contemporary Performing Arts Historiography, directed by Clarisse Bardiot, this research seminar offers an in-depth introduction to the issues, concepts, methods, and tools involved in the digital study of texts, images, and cultural data. It aims to address the challenges and opportunities related to the use of digital data in art research – particularly in the developing fields of digital art history and culture analytics – and to show how the digital humanities open new research perspectives in the humanities. The seminar takes place on Mondays from 4 to 6 p.m.: – in person at the Villejean campus of the University of Rennes 2 – or online via Zoom. Registration is required via the following form so that the link can be sent to you.
