The National Endowment for the Humanities Announces "eHumanities"
A Lecture Series on Digital Technology and the Humanities
February 13: James O'Donnell, "After the Internet"
February 27: Will Thomas and Ed Ayers,
"The Next Generation of Digital Scholarship: An Experiment in Form"
http://www.neh.gov/news/ehumanities.html
>From the web site:
How does technology affect traditional humanities disciplines? Some
scholars and educators argue that in just a few short years, advances in
information technology and the development of the Internet have had a more
dramatic affect on the way people read, write, and exchange information
than any invention since the printing press. With the eHumanities lecture
series, NEH is bringing leading scholars to Washington to discuss the
relationship of digital technology and the humanities.
All lectures will be held from 12 noon to 1:15 p.m. at NEH, 1100
Pennsylvania, Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20506 in Room M-09.
Attendance is free and open to the public, but advance registration is
requested.
February 13
After the Internet
JAMES O'DONNELL
The Internet bubble has burst. The Internet is boring. Even The Economist
is reduced to devoting a special section to the wireless Internet in order
to gain and hold its readers' attention. This is an opportunity for serious
thought and action about the integration of information technology and
information science in the humanistic organon. How are we different because
we live in this wired world? How are we not different? What is reasonable
to expect?
James J. O'Donnell is Professor of Classical Studies and Vice Provost for
Information Systems and Computing at the University of Pennsylvania. He has
published widely on the cultural history of the late antique Mediterranean
world and is a recognized innovator in the application of networked
information technology in higher education. In 1990, he co-founded Bryn
Mawr Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the
humanities ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on
the work of Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students. He also serves as
resident Faculty Master of Hill College House at Penn. He is a Trustee of
the National Humanities Center, has served as a Director and will become
President-Elect in 2002 of the American Philological Association, and
served as a Councillor of the Medieval Academy of America.

The Next Generation of Digital Scholarship: An Experiment in Form
WILL THOMAS and ED AYERS
The use of online resources has exploded in recent years. Students and
scholars routinely turn to the web for primary documents, reference works,
and the latest reviews. But we have not yet forged a new form of scholarly
communication and argumentation for the digital environment. In this talk,
Ayers and Thomas present a prototype of a journal article designed to take
advantage of the possibilities of the web while addressing some of the
limitations of that context.
Will Thomas is the Director of the Virginia Center for Digital History and
Research Assistant Professor of History at the University of Virginia. He
teaches the history of Virginia since 1865 and is the author of Lawyering
for the Railroad: Business, Law, and Power in the New South (LSU, 1999). He
also served as the co-author and assistant producer of The Ground Beneath
Our Feet: Virginia's History Since the Civil War, an Emmy-nominated series
on the history of Virginia for public television.
Edward L. Ayers is the Hugh P. Kelly professor of history at the University
of Virginia. Ayers has written extensively on Southern history and race
relations. His books include All Over the Map: Rethinking American Regions
and The Promise of the New South: Life After Reconstruction. He is the
founder of the Valley of the Shadow project at the University of Virginia.
Ayers has received a number of grants and fellowships, including a
Fulbright. Ayers received a bachelor's degree from the University of
Tennessee, and his master's and doctorate from Yale University.
