This afternoon is a poster session at which I'd planned to share updates on my computational image analysis project with medieval manuscripts. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the work ready to present. I want to get it there, but it's not there at the moment. The proposal is available here, in case it's of interest, fwiw https://kristenmapes.com/dh2024-rose/. I'm happy to talk about it (the work, the lack of a poster) and to learn from the community! #DH2024 (2024-08-09 ↗)
