Summer Institute: Digital Humanities for Hellenic Studies – Visualizing the Past: Mapping Athens’ Lost Neighborhood
10 March 2025
Open to scholars from all disciplines, regardless of technical background, this workshop is designed to explore DH methods for mapping & spatial visualization. July 7 to July 11, 2025.
The Center for Digital Humanities is proud to be part of the Seeger Center's Summer Institute: Digital Humanities for Hellenic Studies hosted at the Princeton Athens Center from July 7–11. This year's theme is "Visualizing the Past: Mapping Athens' Lost Neighborhood."
Below is a summary of the Call for Applications. More details are available on the Seeger Center website.
The deadline to apply is March 21.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Workshop participants will work collaboratively to create a digital map of the Vrysaki neighborhood of Athens before its demolition, which made way for expanded access to ancient ruins such as Hadrian's Library and the Roman Agora. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped to develop their own mapping projects and will have the opportunity to connect with leading scholars in Greece’s dynamic digital humanities and cultural heritage communities.
ELIGIBILITY
Current Princeton scholars (faculty, staff, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows in the humanities), as well as graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the humanities currently enrolled at universities in Greece, are invited to apply. Instructors will include scholars from the CDH, Princeton University Library, the Visual Resources division of Princeton’s Department of Art and Archaeology, and the MSc Program in Digital Methods for the Humanities at the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB).
FUNDING
All participants attend this workshop tuition-free. Selected Princeton affiliates, as well as those from Greek universities who do not reside in Athens, will have the chance to apply for funding to cover all or part of their travel and accommodation expenses. The funding application will comprise a short budget estimate and a statement as to whether the applicant plans to combine this workshop with other activities, as the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies will only cover expenses related to the workshop.
