Information Futures Forum 6 Dec
Dr Bethany Nowviskie - digital humanities
Monopolies of Invention: Collaboration Across Class Lines in the Digital Humanities
Dr Bethany Nowviskie, Director of Digital Research & Scholarship at the University of Virginia Library and Associate Director of the Scholarly Communication Institute, will speak at the final Information Futures Forum for 2010 on 6 December, from 9.30 to 10.30 am in Room 103, 1st floor Architecture Building.
Digital humanities communities on local, national, and international scales are rightly characterized as welcoming, collaborative, and interdisciplinary. Nonetheless, they operate within institutional structures that reify distinctions between service and research, staff and faculty.
Bethany Nowviskie of the UVa Library Scholars Lab will discuss models and policies that have evolved at the University of Virginia over its twenty years of institutional experience in humanities computing. She will identify successes to be duplicated and outline problems to be solved.
This talk will be of interest to academic and professional staff from the broad area of humanities as well as librarians and other specialist staff.
The forum is a combined session of the Faculty of Arts eResearch Forum and the University Library's Information Futures Forum series. This event is sponsored by the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative (VeRSI).
