Mapping Culture and History Workshop, University of Newcastle/Online, 17-18 November

Join us for an event celebrating the possibilities of digital mapping for the humanities, hosted by the Time-Layered Cultural Map of Australia (based in Newcastle) and the Australian Cultural Data Engine (led by the University of Melbourne).

We are bringing together instructors, presenters, and anyone interested in learning about mapping in a series of workshop sessions and plenary talks. We are targeting honours and postgraduate students, humanities researchers, gallery, library and museum staff, and local historians, in particular, but all are welcome. The face to face events will take place at the University of Newcastle’s NUSpace building in the city campus, with some hybrid sessions and some via Zoom only.

Please review the workshop program in order to select workshops. Session descriptions can be found here. Zoom details for Zoom sessions will be circulated closer to the event.

We have bursaries available for Indigenous researchers and Early and Mid Career researchers, sponsored by ARDC and the College of Human and Social Futures at Newcastle – see the website here
