firing talks

The "firing talks" are short ( <5 minutes) presentations during which people try to concisely expose some of their research in order to share it with other members of the community.

As long as the subject is loosely tied to the digital humanities, it can be a subject for a firing talk. We do not discriminate a potential presentation depending on its subject or the education level of the person who wants to present it.

The work presented can come from a project you did during a course, a personal endeavour, your academic research, your PhD dissertation, and so on. In other words, as long as you think your work can interest others, it can (and should) be presented during the firing talk session.

As an inspiration and to show you the large scope of subjects that can be presented, you can find below a selection of titles from the talks made during last year's edition of DHX:

• d-scribes: the Digital Palaeography of Greek and Coptic Papyri.

• WordWeb/IDEM, Intertextuality in Early Modern period Drama.

• From Digital Philology to Traditional Philology.

• Analyzing Mashups with trAVis.

• How could technology improve the data collection in retrospective survey?

• Is the Internet Becoming More Polarised?
