         Subject: RE: 18.115 ACH/ALLC 2005 call for papers

Some of you who will be in Victoria June 15 - 19, 2005 for ACH/ALLC may be
interested to know that DiGRA (the Digital Games Research Association) will
be holding its second international conference in Vancouver at Simon Fraser
University from June 17 - 20, 2005. This could be a great opportunity for
members of both ACH/ALLC and DiGRA to share their approaches to similar sets
of research concerns.

See you there,
Andrew

> not limited to:
> - traditional applications of computing in the humanities,
> including (but not limited to) linguistics, text corpora,
> computational lexicography, natural language processing,
> translation studies, literary studies, text encoding,

> organization and accessibility;
> - applications in the digital arts, especially projects and
> installations that feature technical advances of potential
> interest to humanities scholars;
> - information design in the humanities, including
> visualization, simulation, and modeling;
