Dr. Piraye Hacigüzeller
Piraye Hacigüzeller is a postdoctoral researcher at the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities and the Archaeology Department of Ghent University. Prior to this, she was a research fellow at the Archaeology Departments of KU Leuven and the University of Oxford studying archaeological applications of GIS, cartographic theory and critical mapping. Her research interests are the theory and practice of digital applications in Archaeology and more generally in Social Sciences and Humanities research, specifically in the cases of geospatial data visualisation, management and analysis.
She currently serves as an assistant director of the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project and co-chair of the Geohumanities Working Group within DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities). She has written articles, organised and participated in international events, and taught extensively on mapping, spatial analysis and geospatial data visualisation particularly within Archaeology and Historical Humanities. She also recently edited two books in the field titled Re-Mapping Archaeology: Critical Perspectives, Alternative Mappings (2018) and Archaeological Spatial Analysis: A Methodological Guide (in press) both for Routledge.
Emma Clarke
Emma Clarke has a PhD in Digital Humanities from Trinity College Dublin, and works as Education and Public Engagement Officer for the ADAPT research centre. In her free time, she runs Dublin Ghost Signs (dublinghostsigns.com) which is an ever-growing photographic collection of Dublin’s old and fading signs. The collection of over 400 signs and shopfronts began in 2013 and provides a window into the city’s past – its shops, businesses and advertising.
