Join UT Libraries on Friday, April 11, from 12:30-1:30 pm for Digital Scholars in Practice: Atlas of a Medieval Life - The Networks and Itineraries of Roger de Breynton.
This project explores how computational methodologies and data-visualization platforms can bring the medieval subfields of literary studies, cartography, and biography into fruitful dialogue. The documentary research underlying the project centers on the career of Roger de Breynton (c.1290-1351), a historically obscure but widely traveled and well-connected Canon of Hereford Cathedral, in provincial SW England. This talk will focus on the project’s datasets, tools, and strategies for scholarly communication.

- Dr. Liz Fisher, alum of the Department of English
- Isabella Neubauer, PhD candidate in the Department of English
