The Summer School offers training to anyone with an interest in the Digital Humanities, including academics at all career stages, students, project managers, and people who work in IT, libraries, and cultural heritage.
Participants follow one of our parallel workshop strands throughout the week, supplementing their training with expert guest lectures. There are also optional evening events including a drinks reception and a walking tour of Oxford.
"The Summer School aims to encourage, inspire, and provide the skills for innovative research across the humanities using digital technologies, and to foster a community around it,"
Pip Willcox, head of the Centre for Digital Scholarship at Oxford University.
The Summer School is the largest in Europe (and second largest in the world). It is organised by colleagues across the University, directed by Pip Willcox. It aims to encourage, inspire, and provide the skills for innovative research across the humanities using digital technologies, and to foster a community around it.
"The Summer School offers training to anyone with an interest in using digital technologies in the Humanities, including academics at all career stages, students, project managers, and people who work in IT, libraries, and cultural heritage. Delegates select one week-long workshop, supplementing their training with expert guest lectures and a busy social programme."
As always, there was also a range of fascinating lectures many of which tapped into the great wealth of knowledge and expertise based here at Oxford.
Alongside the extensive training, delegates enjoyed a range of impressive social events including a walking tour of historic Oxford, an evening and poster reception at the impressive Natural History Museum and all the trimmings of Oxford College-life at the remarkable St Hughs venue and accomodation.
The recently renovated St Luke's Chapel on the redeveloped Radcliffe Infirmary site is used as an impressive venue for some of the lectures, while Oxford college host the main formal dinner.
All in all the Summer School was an extremely enjoyable, intensive week, fostering knowledge, friendship and future collaboration for the wide range of delegates who made the trip to beautiful, sunny Oxford.
