humaines<BR><BR>Conference Description<BR><BR>For the purpose of our teaching,
is there an accepted<BR>set of tools and techniques, and a unique and
related<BR>collection of theories having a commonly-understood<BR>application,
that are associated with the<BR>(inter)discipline of humanities computing? In
other<BR>words, is there a humanities computing curriculum, a<BR>curriculum that
appropriately treats the role of the<BR>computer, today, in the context of the
centuries-old<BR>tradition of the arts and humanities?<BR>What must be
considered when designing and implementing<BR>courses that bring the computer to
the arts and<BR>humanities, courses in humanities computing? Can such<BR>courses
discover and survey the influence of computing<BR>technology, broadly construed,
in the arts? Must<BR>courses in humanities computing reflect the tradition<BR>of
the computing humanist? Should they embrace all<BR>current applications of
computing in the humanities?<BR>Can textual description and markup,
cybercultural<BR>studies, text analysis, and (multi)media theory
and<BR>practice, &c., co-exist? What are others in the field<BR>bringing to
their classrooms and to their programs that<BR>have humanities computing
components? Such are the<BR>questions that many face as they and their
institutions<BR>formulate, for the first time, new academic courses
and<BR>programs that seek to apply computing to established<BR>arts and
humanities curricula.<BR><BR>Led by expert practitioners in the field of
humanities<BR>computing, through a number of papers, sessions,
poster<BR>presentations, and seminars this conference will<BR>address the broad
range of issues involved in<BR>integrating computing practice in the teaching of
the<BR>arts and humanities -- from developing a single course<BR>in a particular
discipline to the development of an<BR>entire curriculum.<BR><BR>Invited
Speakers<BR><BR>Invited speakers include<BR>* Willard McCarty (King's College,
London)<BR>* John Unsworth (U Virginia)<BR>* Susan Hockey (University College,
London)<BR>* Nancy Ide (Vassar College)<BR><BR>Paper, Session, and Seminar
Proposals<BR><BR>Paper, session, poster, and seminar proposals that<BR>treat
issues relating to the humanities computing<BR>curriculum, describe existing
courses and programs,<BR>and/or document experiences relating to
implementing<BR>such curricula are invited to be considered for<BR>presentation
at this conference.<BR><BR>One page paper or poster proposals, accompanied by
a<BR>brief CV, may be sent before June 15 to Ray Siemens, at<BR><A
