The National Endowment for the Humanities is proud to announce a series of lectures on eHumanities, which will bring leading scholars to Washington, DC, to discuss digital technology and its importance to the humanities. Some scholars and educators have argued that in just a few short years, advances in information technology and the development of the Internet have had a more dramatic affect on the way people read, write, and exchange information than any invention since the printing press. The goal of this series is to highlight some of the important work being done by scholars who are studying digital technology from various perspectives in the humanities. Attendance is free, but please register in advance Feel free to share this announcement with your colleagues.
Registration is free.
