The Department at Successful Conference in Tartu #DHNB2025
Several members of the department participated in a highly successful conference on the work with Digital Humanities in the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The goal of the conferences is to strengthen research, education, and communication in the field of Digital Humanities. This year, the Department of ALM at Uppsala University had a particularly strong presence.
The text visualization tool Word Rain has been evaluated and applied within the ActDisease project at Uppsala University. The work, described in the paper “Further Developing the Word Rain Text Visualisation Technique in a Digital History Project” by Maria Skeppstedt, Magnus Ahltorp, Gijs Aangenendt, and Ylva Söderfeldt, was awarded the prize for "best long paper." Congratulations to the authors on this achievement!
In addition to this, the department contributed several exciting presentations in both research and education:
- Nasrin Mostofian, Anna Foka: The use and usefulness of AI in CHIs
