Bio

Dr Gabriel Bodard (he/him) is Reader in Digital Classics at the Institute of Classical Studies and Digital Humanities Research Hub, School of Advanced Study (ror), University of London (ror).

His background is in classics, with training and experience in both papyrology and epigraphy; his PhD was titled, “Witches, Cursing and Necromancy: Archaic and Classical Greek Representations of Magic.” While a graduate student he acquired extensive undergraduate and postgraduate teaching experience in both classics and information technology. After university he worked at the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae at the University of California, one of the oldest major Digital Humanities projects dealing with Classical texts, and that shared standards and practices with the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri and Cornell Greek Epigraphy. He then worked from 2002—2015 in Digital Humanities at King’s College London, where he built upon his experience in text encoding and markup with work on various digital projects.

He is the principal investigator on the SNAP:DRGN project, networking ancient person-data. He was a researcher on and co-investigator of Inscriptions of Aphrodisias, Inscriptions of Libya and the Ancient Inscriptions of the Northern Black Sea. He acquired broad and in-depth knowledge of text encoding and processing, especially the use of TEI XML and XSLT. He led the King’s team on the internationally collaborative Integrating Digital Papyrology project (2007-2011) to convert the DDbDP and other papyrological materials into EpiDoc XML in a new browse and editing platform.

He founded the Digital Classicist, a community of expertise in the application of Digital Humanities to the study of the ancient world, and is an administrator of the Stoa. He was on the steering committee of the British Epigraphy Society from 2007-2012, and was an elected member from 2008-2013 of the Technical Council of the TEI, an academic group that makes decisions on guidelines and carries out technical development. He is one of the lead authors of the EpiDoc Guidelines, and regularly organises and teaches training workshops in digital epigraphy and papyrology.
