Digital Humanities

Mapping Wax

As part of my PhD research I designed and implemented a project which produced an interactive digital map of known Florentine wax workshops for the period 1300 to 1500. This was created using Esri by ArcGIS, is searchable and allows users to both visualise changes over time and navigate to specific dates.

This map will eventually be made publicly available, integrated into a web resource dedicated to wax working in fifteenth-century Florence.  

Project partly funded by the London Arts and Humanities Partnership/AHRC (2020-2022).

Between Technology and Theory

With a longstanding interest in how digital tools can be used in humanities research,  I founded the annual Between Technology and Theory workshop at the Warburg Institute alongside my colleague Rheagan Martin. This two-day workshop, held every June, invites digital humanities projects in progress from across disciplines to discuss impacts and challenges in the field. Through an associated seminar, we train attendees in digital mapping and data visualisation skills.
