Oxford Digital Scholarship Society (OxDSS)
About OxDSS
A message from the Oxford Digital Scholarship Society president
Oxford already has a vibrant digital scholarship community, with remarkable activity happening across initiatives such as TORCH, the Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC), the Voltaire Foundation, the Digital Bodleian, and a wide range of highly renowned digital projects. Our goal with OxDSS is not to duplicate these efforts but to create a student-centred space where those working within and across these communities can meet, collaborate, and share expertise.
Together with my committee, we are excited to build this space for students at Oxford - a place to meet like-minded peers, discover new digital tools and methods, discuss challenges in this often ambiguous and evolving space, and find inspiration and collaboration for future projects. We are currently designing our programme for the year, which will include:
Weekly informal meetups for members
Fortnightly guest talks featuring speakers from digital flagships projects across divisions
Hands-on workshops and thematic sessions based on student interests
Open events aimed at the broader Oxford community
