From Ancient Texts to Ethical Tech - Dr Thea Sommerschield and Professor Sue Black
For this episode we join Dr Thea Sommerschield from the Department of Classics and Ancient History and Professor Sue Black from the Department of Computer Science at Durham University. This free-flowing conversation brings together Thea’s work on AI and ancient inscriptions, with Sue’s work supporting women in tech and challenging bias in AI. We hear about the very different paths that led them into their research, before the conversation opens out into a fascinating discussion about ancient inscriptions, women in tech, the value of interdisciplinary research, and the importance of using technology in ways that are thoughtful, ethical, and transformative.

Rivers of Ink Part 2 - Ross Ashton and Karen Monid
In this second part of Rivers of Ink, we’re at St Paul’s Church in Jarrow with artists Ross Ashton and Karen Monid of The Projection Studio, whose touring installation reimagines the Codex Amiatinus through projection and sound. They explore the research behind the work, the challenge of visualising a world with little surviving evidence, and the wider history of writing and book-making that shaped the manuscript. We also discuss authorship and authenticity through the fascinating story of Codex’s altered dedication page, the labour of the monastic community who produced it, and how art and academia can open this complex historical and religious object to wider audiences.

Rivers of Ink Part 1 - Professor Francis Watson & Lauren Randall
In this episode we bring together Professor Francis Watson from the department of Theology and Religion and Lauren Randall, a Phd researcher at Durham University. They are both working on the manuscript Codex Amiatinus, the world’s oldest bible and about to tour their latest project, Rivers of Ink which looks at the making of the Codex Amiatinus and how it came to be produced in the North East of England. We talk about what makes Codex Amiatinus such an extraordinary manuscript, how it was made at Wearmouth and Jarrow, and how Rivers of Ink brings that story to life for audiences today through sound, light, and talks touring the region.
