Subject: establishment of the annual Wisbey Lecture at King's
College London
Wisbey Lecture in Humanities Computing
King's College London
King's College London has agreed that the Centre for Computing in the
Humanities should establish an annual lecture in the application of
computing in humanities research, to be named the Wisbey Lecture. It is so
named to acknowledge the pioneering role at King's, at the University of
Cambridge and internationally, of Professor Roy Wisbey, who started
applying computing techniques in his own research in the 1960s and was one
of the founding members of the Association for Literary and Linguistic
Computing. The ALLC came into being in 1973 at a meeting held at King's
(also attended by, among others, Susan Hockey, Wilhelm Ott and the late
Antonio Zampolli).
The first lecture in our series Digital Scholarship, Digital Culture, to be
given this evening by Professor Stanley Katz (Princeton), has been
designated as the first Wisbey Lecture. We are delighted that Roy and his
wife Erni, along with Wilhelm and Hannelore Ott and Susan and Martin
Hockey, will all be attending the lecture as guests of honour.
Information about the Wisbey Lecture and the series as a whole can be found
on the CCH web site, at:
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cch.
Following suggestions made on Humanist, all the lectures, including the one
this evening by Stan Katz, are being recorded, and will be webcast.
