Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY
CALL FOR PAPERS
Proposal Deadline: December 15, 2003 (revised)
Conference Web Site: http://www.ithaca.edu/htc2004/
Ithaca College will host a conference on the use of technology in the
humanities on May 24-26, 2004, in Ithaca, New York. We are actively
soliciting proposals for individual papers and conference sessions on
any topic concerning the theory and application of technology in a
humanities educational context.
Conference Premise:
The widespread use of digital technology has exerted a profound
influence upon the humanities. Beyond the practical aspects of using
technology effectively, humanities teachers and scholars also grapple
with the ideological and imaginative complexities it has made possible.
This conference will be an opportunity to present and discuss new ideas
on technological practice and pedagogy in specific humanities
disciplines, as well as the broader issues of the effect of technology
upon teaching and research.
Key Questions/Suggested Topics:
* How does digital technology, in all of its various forms, enhance or
detract from the humanities educational experience?
* Does technology expand the reach and appeal of humanities
disciplines, or does it obscure the core values of those disciplines?
* What is the role of technology in redefining the faculty-student
relationship?
* Have the nature and practices of various humanities disciplines
changed under the influence of technology?
* How is technology facilitating cross-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary teaching and learning?
* What technology applications for learning and teaching are being used?
* How does technology influence curricular change in humanities
programs?
* What are the unique dynamics of using technology in the humanities
classroom?
* How are technology facilities being developed for use by the
humanities?
* What are the faculty development issues for technology in the
humanities?
* How are institutions assessing results and outcomes in the use of
technology?
* Case studies and initiatives from individual disciplines or schools.
Procedure:
We invite both paper and session proposals that address the topic of
technology in the humanities, to be submitted no later than December 15,
2003. Proposals should be no more than 250 words in length, and should
be accompanied by a current curriculum vita. Individual presentations
should be limited to no more than 30 minutes. Session proposals may be
60 or 75 minutes in length, and must include the names and vitae of all
participating members.
