Voltaire Foundation Workshop on Digital Enlightenment Studies
The Voltaire Foundation, in collaboration with Digital Scholarship at Oxford (DiSc) and the Maison Française d’Oxford, is pleased to host its third annual workshop dedicated to Digital Enlightenment Studies.
This two-day event, held at the Maison Française d’Oxford, brings together international researchers and digital humanists to explore the intersection of 18th-century scholarship and computational methods. The programme features updates on major digital editions, discussions on network analysis, and presentations from leading research groups across Europe and the US.
The workshop will conclude with the Annual Voltaire Foundation Lecture at the Weston Library, delivered this year by Professor Ruth Ahnert (Queen Mary University of London).
