CFP: Renaissance Studies and New Technologies

For the past eight years, the Renaissance Society of America program has featured a number of sessions that document innovative ways in which computing technology is being incorporated into the scholarly activity of our community. At the 2010 RSA meeting (Venice, 8-10 April 2010), several sessions will continue to follow this interest across several key projects, through a number of thematic touchstones, and in several emerging areas.

For these sessions, we seek proposals in the following general areas, and beyond:

a) new technology and research (individual or group projects)

b) new technology and teaching (individual or group projects)

c) new technology and publication (e.g. from the vantage point of authors, traditional and non-traditional publishers)

Proposals for papers, panels, demonstrations, and/or workshop presentations that focus on these issues and others are welcome.

** We are pleased to be able to offer several graduate student travel subventions for presentation on these panels. Those wishing to be considered for the subvention should indicate this in their abstract submission. **

For details of the RSA conference see www.rsa.org.

Please send proposals before May 15 to siemens_at_uvic.ca.

Footnotes

Two links here:

Peter Barry (author of the useful "Beginning Theory") writing in the Times Higher Education supplement on the conflicting demands on research grant applicants posed by the AHRC and the RAE, and how postgrads might be taught to bridge the divide.

A call for papers - Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture. I've been thinking a lot about the Digital Humanities recently, and this might be something for me to seriously look into.

That's all for now!
