CASCADE Training Camp 1: Foundations
Digital Humanities Institute, University of Sheffield
26th and 27th November 2024
The Digital Humanities Institute hosted the first CASCADE (Computational Analysis Of Semantic Change Across Different Environments) Research Camp. CASCADE is an MSCA Doctoral Network at five world-leading universities - University College Cork, University of Sheffield, University of Helsinki, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, and Universität des Saarlandes. Funded by Horizon Europe under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks and the UKRI.
The team of Early Stage Researchers, alongside the project research supervisors at the Digital Humanities Institute, met in person for the first time, spending several days exchanging ideas and perspectives about interdisciplinary methods that could be used to analyse how language expresses meaning in various, changing contexts over time.
This was the first of four planned research camps and laid the foundations of future collaborations between individual team members.
