Terry Pratchett Hackathon

Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation brings the best of Irish literature to the world and the best of world literature to readers in Ireland.

Trinity Centre for Literary & Cultural Translation

The Pratchett Project team at Trinity College Dublin is organising a hackathon to get fans of Terry Pratchett involved in the research they are doing.
In this full-day event, you're invited to bring your laptop to Trinity to get to grips with some quantitative research on the publication history of Pratchett's work around the world. You don't need to be a Pratchett fan to come along. Anybody with an interest in digital humanities will enjoy this.
The day will also feature interviews with Colin Smythe, Pratchett's agent, and Rob Wilkins, Pratchett's assistant, and you will have the chance to ask your questions too!
Rundown:
10-11: Welcome and Setup
11-12: Data Crunching
12-1: Colin Smythe interview
1-2: Lunch
2-4: More Data Crunching
4-5: Rob Wilkins Interview
This event is suitable for anybody aged 12+ with an interest in Pratchett, data science, digital humanities, translation studies, or library studies.
Registration is free, but places are limited. So booking is a must. This event is going to be popular. So make sure you get your ticket early!
