Description

This session will consider 1) the role that digital projects play in reaching across disciplinary boundaries in medieval studies, 2) best practices for cross-disciplinary digital and computational research, and 3) examples of the success and failure of such research. Our goal is to demonstrate how the development and application of digital tools, methods, and formats can enable and facilitate the interdisciplinary and collaborative research of experts and specialists across their respective subdisciplines in order to produce, provide, and openly share better insights and new knowledge with scholars and the wider public alike.
