*Shakespearean Hackfest*

6 December 2014, 10 am -6 pm

Radcliffe Observatory Quarter,  University of Oxford

What happens when people from different fields play with digitized versions
of Shakespeare's works? Let's find out.

We will spend the day playing and working in groups mixed with scholars
from various disciplines to see what kind of research questions come out,
what kind of results we can get that day, what kind of results would need
more markup and how to best go about further annotating the texts to use
the data to answer more questions, etc. The groups would ideally be a mix
of Shakespearean scholars (and/or others working on literature),
historians, linguists, and at least one person per group who can do some
basic scripting.

No prior knowledge or experience is required.

This event is free, but registration is required:
