Does your research involve digital methodologies? Or are you interested in learning how digital tools can help us answer new and existing questions in Medieval and Early Modern Studies?
This Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminar (PATS) at the University of Canterbury will bring students together with established scholars to discuss digital research in Medieval and Early Modern Studies.

The PATS will consist of two keynote presentations, an interactive session, and a panel discussion. The two keynotes will focus on using digitised sources in researching the medieval and early modern periods, and on the key issues and digital archival work on the digital English Broadside Ballad Archive respectively. The panel discussion will focus on digital humanities project management, and students will have the opportunity to discuss their own research and gain hands-on experience of digital tools in the interactive session.

Cost
There is no cost for postgraduate students attending this PATS. However, places are limited to ensure the day is focused. Lunch and refreshments will be provided; please advise of any dietary requirements when applying.

Travel Grants
Travel grants are available for students from outside the Christchurch area. Ten travel grants are available for New Zealand students, and two grants are available for Australian students. If you are intending to apply for a travel grant, please submit an application form plus a short academic reference before 26 October 2015. Applicants will hear back shortly after 26 October.
