... present ‘Early Modern Texts: Digital Methods and Methodologies’, University of Oxford, 16-17 September 2013

The Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership, based at the Bodleian Library in Oxford invites proposals for conference papers. All papers that focus on early modern texts will be considered, but we particularly encourage proposals on digital research and editing methods and methodologies in early modern studies.

Possible topics could include:

Editing philosophies and practicalities

Digital citation

Hidden or developing research methodologies in the Humanities

Bridging traditional and digital methods

Comparative studies of different digital resources

Research based on EEBO-TCP

Digital tools to support early modern research

Approaches to teaching methodology

The conference is intended as an opportunity to explore the current state of early modern textual studies and editing, and to consider possibilities for the future. There will be a particular focus on developing potential for collaborative work through scheduled networking sessions. Proposals including project demonstrations or ideas are encouraged, as are submissions from postgraduate and early career researchers.

Please send proposals of no more than 300 words, together with a brief biography (100 words maximum), to eebotcp@bodleian.ox.ac.uk. The deadline for submissions is Friday 5 April 2013. Acceptances will be notified by Monday 29 April 2013.
