16 July 2024, DaDriH Seminar Series, Stefan Hessbrüggen-Walter

The Concepts in Motion group at the University of Amsterdam (ILLC) is happy to announce the second season of the online Data-Driven History of Ideas (DaDriH) seminar series, where speakers are senior researchers, as well as the PhD-in-DaDriH seminar series, where speakers are PhD students. Like our inspiring first couple of sessions the series will cover datasets, formats, tools, and best practices for working with data relevant to the history of ideas.

We will kick off the DaDriH series on July 16th between 15:00 and 16:30 (CEST), when Stefan Hessbrüggen-Walter (Freie Universität Berlin) will give a talk titled "Early Modern Dissertations in French Libraries" (EMDFL): Some Lessons Learned". Stefan will discuss the methodological challenges encountered in compiling a bibliographical dataset derived from appr. 56.000 records of early modern dissertations from French libraries.
