Program goals:
- to bring together humanities scholars and digital
technology specialists from different disciplines to share ideas and
methods that advance humanities research, education, preservation,
access, or public programming through the use of digital technologies;
- to allow these participants to reflect on, interpret, and analyze new
digital media, multimedia, and text-based computing technologies and
integrate these into humanities research;
- to prepare current and
future generations of humanities scholars to design, develop, and use
cyber-based tools and environments; and
- to devise new and creative
uses for technology that offer valuable models that can be applied
specifically to the humanities.
