We’re delighted to welcome Dr. George Bevan from Classics at Queen’s!
For THATCamp I am interested in looking at tools for effective dissemination of Digital Humanities scholarship. How can large datasets, such a 3D volumes or interactive visuals, be effectively brought to the web for consumption by the public and fellow scholars. In addition, I am particularly interested in the debate over open source vs. closed source/commercial scholarship in the Digital Humanities.
I teach Late Antiquity, as well as Greek and Latin language, in the Dept. of Classics. Increasingly, however, I have gone back to my roots in Math and Computer Science to bring new technologies from Science and Engineering to bear on historical problems, both ancient and recent. These technologies include computed tomography, 3D scanning, photogrammetry, RTI, EDXRF/WDXRF and Gigapixel imaging.
