The goal of the Conversations in Digital Humanities speaker series is to engage Cornell's scholars and practitioners whose projects explore the intersections of advanced digital technology and cultural understanding. It targets a broad community of interest at Cornell that reaches across disciplinary and institutional lines. The series includes speakers whose research and practice break new ground in understanding how new media and digital methodologies are changing the landscape of research, teaching, learning, creative expression, and cultural experience.
The series is co-sponsored by the Cornell University Library and , The Society for the Humanities, and the College of Arts and Sciences.
We always welcome suggestions for inviting speakers to engage our community in discussions such as:
- Analyzing the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact on society
- Practicing integrative approaches that acknowledge the increasingly hybrid nature of our environments, blending new with old.
- Developing innovative uses of technology for public programming, publication, and education
- Creating new multimodal and interactive artworks, interfaces, or other digital “texts”
- Designing and developing new digital tools for creating, preserving, analyzing, and providing access to digital resources
- Creatively engaging with “big data”
- Incorporating digital tools and collaborative learning methods into teaching and pedagogy
- Expanding the possibilities of new digital modes of publication that facilitate the dissemination of humanities scholarship
- Exploring issues related to information sustainability, permanence, copyright, and authenticity
