Prof. Dr. Ewa Atanassow, Dr. James Harker, and Dr. Jeffrey Champlin organize a daylong workshop on the topic of close reading
The workshop brought together the community of Bard College Berlin to examine the practice of close reading and its implications. The interdisciplinary panels considered close reading in context from ancient Greek philosophy to emerging AI, and explored its use beyond literary analysis to wider applications in the Humanities.
