Quill Project on Negotiated Texts: Oxford e-Research Centre
PAST EVENT | 10 March 2017 14:00 - 10 March 2017 15:00
This seminar is taking place at the Oxford e-Research Centre on 10th March 2pm-3pm in the Access Grid Room (room 277). It is free and open to all. No booking required. Click here for more information.
The seminar will examine the work of The Quill Project, a collaboration between Dr Nicholas Cole (History, Pembroke College) and Dr Alfie Abdul-Rahman (Visualization, e-Research Centre). This project uses historical records to model formal processes of negotiations, such as those that wrote the Constitution of the United States or which create treaties and legislation. It is based at Pembroke College, Oxford.
This ability to create these models has implications for both research and teaching, by allowing for better qualitative and quantitative analysis of negotiations. The platform emphasizes the reconstruction as closely as possible of the context within which proposals and decisions are made.
Dr Nicholas Cole is a Senior Research Fellow at Pembroke College, Oxford, and a member of the History Faculty.
Dr Alfie Abdul-Rahman is a Research Associate at the Oxford e-Research Centre.
