Digital Scholarship coffee morning

Tuesday, 19 May 2026, 10.30am to 11.30am

Join us for a digital scholarship coffee gathering - tea and coffee will be provided.

At this session Giovanna Di Martino and Claire Kenward will talk about 'Encoding Reception: TEI, Machine Learning, and the Infrastructures of Performance Research with Audiovisual Collections'.

Dr Claire Kenward is Archivist at Oxford's Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD) at Oxford and is responsible for the APGRD's collections, databases, and the digital development strategy. She is Research Project Manager on the APGRD’s Digital Ancient Theatre project and is co-author, co-curator, and designer of the APGRD’s interactive/multimedia ebooks. Claire has curated a number of exhibitions at Oxford's Faculty of Classics and at St Hilda's JdP Music Building. She began working for the APGRD in 2013 as an early career associate researching the influence of ancient epics on medieval and early modern drama, a topic on which she has published a number of articles and chapters.

 

Dr Giovanna Di Martino is Community and Project Manager for the AHRC-funded Digital Humanities project Data/Culture at the University of Oxford's School of Anthropology and team member on the John Fell-funded Exploring Digital Futures project at Oxford's Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama. She is also Honorary Leventis Fellow at UCL (2024-2027), and Fellow at the Harvard's Centre for Hellenic Studies (2026-2027). She develops new forms of collaborative engagement between technical professionals, scholars, and datasets.
