We learned of a call for applications for several travel bursaries for the conference “Decoding the Past: Critical Editions and Their Editors”. Here the call:

The Long Room Hub at Trinity College Dublin is hosting a two-day conference on critical

editions on 1-2 November 2019. Collaboration between senior academics and early career

researchers will focus on the techniques and methodologies involved in making critical editions,

editorial choices regarding transcription and translation, as well as the interactions of computer

science and web-hosting specialists with scholars in the digital humanities. This conference

centres on critical editions of medieval and early modern texts.

The Conference is offering Conference Bursaries funded by the Society for the Study of

Medieval Languages and Literature with a value of €50 for an attendee resident in Ireland

and €145 each for two attendees who will travel from Europe (or further).

We are particularly seeking applications from postgraduate students interested in the process of

making critical editions, especially with regard to ground-breaking research. For those interested,

please submit a one-page cover letter and a CV. The cover letter should include details of the

applicant’s research and interest in critical editions.

Please send applications for bursaries to decodingthepast2019@gmail.com. The deadline for

applications is 1 August 2019. Awards will be announced in September.
