Conference Description
For the purpose of our teaching, is there an accepted
set of tools and techniques, and a unique and related
collection of theories having a commonly-understood
application, that are associated with the
(inter)discipline of humanities computing? In other
words, is there a humanities computing curriculum, a
curriculum that appropriately treats the role of the
computer, today, in the context of the centuries-old
tradition of the arts and humanities?
What must be considered when designing and implementing
courses that bring the computer to the arts and
humanities, courses in humanities computing? Can such
courses discover and survey the influence of computing
technology, broadly construed, in the arts? Must
courses in humanities computing reflect the tradition
of the computing humanist? Should they embrace all
current applications of computing in the humanities?
Can textual description and markup, cybercultural
studies, text analysis, and (multi)media theory and
practice, &c., co-exist? What are others in the field
bringing to their classrooms and to their programs that
have humanities computing components? Such are the
questions that many face as they and their institutions
formulate, for the first time, new academic courses and
programs that seek to apply computing to established
arts and humanities curricula.
Led by expert practitioners in the field of humanities
computing, through a number of papers, sessions, poster
presentations, and seminars this conference will
address the broad range of issues involved in
integrating computing practice in the teaching of the
arts and humanities -- from developing a single course
in a particular discipline to the development of an
entire curriculum.
Invited Speakers
Invited speakers include Willard McCarty (King's
College, London), John Unsworth (U Virginia), Susan
Hockey (University College London), and Nancy Ide
(Vassar College).
