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's Digital Scholarship and Preservation Services, Olin and Uris Libraries, and The Society for the Humanities, with additional support from the Department of Architecture and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

We invite proposals for inviting speakers to engage our community in discussions such as:
