Below are links to more information about the Digital Humanities that will be discussed at Tuesday’s Commonalities Discussion
Join Dr. Steven Jones, Professor of English and Co-Director of the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities, for a discussion about the digital humanities–which the Chronicle of Higher Education in 2010 referred to as “the next big thing” and the New York Times has covered in a recent series, “Humanities 2.0″–and its growing presence in higher education. How might the rise of the digital humanities affect the way you teach and the way students learn, including providing new kinds of materials, tools, and assignments, but also providing new kinds of questions for different disciplines? Learn about the recent history of the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities within Loyola, its ongoing research projects, and its new MA program (starting this fall). Join us on October 25, 2011 from noon – 1:00 pm for food and conversation on Level 4 of the Klarchek Information Commons (LSC).
We will supply lunch, you supply the conversation!
Please RSVP to Carol Franklin (cfrankl@luc.edu) by Friday, October 21st.
Commonalities is an ongoing dialogue in support of teaching sponsored by Information Technology Services, The Office of Learning and Technology Assessment, and The University Libraries.
