I had a lot of fun presenting a paper on tracing temporal changes in communities during transition periods via network analysis - starting from a case study on a WWII-era newspaper - at #DH2025. My slides are available on Zenodo for anyone interested! doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Then, at the 25th Annual APGRD Symposium (Oxford & Royal Holloway), I gave a speech on “Pollution Networks in Greek Tragedy” during the opening panel on miasma.

Came home with a pile of notes and a longer reading list - it was great to meet such passionate Classics communities!

Michele Ciletti @mikcil.bsky.social · Jul 9

Just back from a week in the UK where I took part in two awesome Classics events!

First I attended the workshop “Data-Driven Classics: Interdisciplinary Connections through Shared Data” at King's College London.

Musisque Deoque is amazing! My favourite feature is that you can export XML files with fully annotated metrical scansions

It was great to take part in #ACH2025 - probably the only DH conference with a dedicated 2D world and pixel avatars! I presented two papers broadly focused on community - one on academic connections on Mastodon, and the other on the newly published Foggia Occupator Dataset.
