Fluid Environments & Spatial Humanities

Bringing together scholars from across the N8 network and beyond, this workshop day explores how environments shaped by water - rivers, shorelines, embankments, irrigation systems, wetlands, and other dynamic landscapes and atmospheres - can be studied, modelled, and interpreted through spatial and digital methods

27 Feb 2026 9 a.m. — 4:30 p.m.

The event is funded by the N8 CIR and is part of the Environmental Digital Humanities Seminar (EDHS), which brings together scholars from across the humanities who use digital methods to understand environments past, present, and future.

Overview

The workshop provides a forum to share work in progress, test emerging ideas, and build collaborations around shared methodological and thematic interests. With contributions from both established researchers and early-career scholars, the day offers an opportunity to think collectively about where Digital Spatial Humanities are heading, and how our research communities can shape that trajectory together.

We end the day with an optional mentoring session for ECR participants to match with a colleague for a discussion about professional development in Digital and Environmental Humanities. Please indicate your interest in the registration form, and we will do our best to make relevant matches.
