Faculty Development Seminar > 2006 - 2007 > Co-Conveners Tim Lenoir (New Technologies & Society) and Priscilla Wald (English & Women's Studies)

For In|Formation 2006-07, Duke University's John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute will be sponsoring a year-long residential Seminar on “Interface.” The Co-Conveners are Tim Lenoir (Kimberly J. Jenkins Professor of New Technologies and Society) and Priscilla Wald (English and Women's Studies). An additional eight Duke faculty will participate along with an external postdoctoral fellow, three doctoral students, a library fellow, a photonics engineer, and a “technology intellectual” (a HASTAC term for technologists who are also keenly interested in the implications of cyberinfrastructure). The faculty development seminar on Interface will partner with a FOCUS (first-year experimental interdisciplinary course cluster) program on the economics, history, and science of gaming, "Game2Know." Internal funds have been raised for a variety of research projects using MRI's, the interactive sensor space, the Interactive Multimedia Project Space (IMPS), and the VR space in the Fitzpatrick Photonics Center. The group will also be working on creating gaming environments for the humanities and the digital arts and will be creating installations in the new Arts Warehouse. In conjunction with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival's curated program in animated documentary, there will also be panels on animation as a social form. All programming will be coordinated with the Law School 's Center for the Study of the Public Domain and consistent with its dedication to protecting the free use of ideas in the public domain.

Faculty Development Seminar > 2006 - 2007 > Co-Conveners Tim Lenoir (New Technologies & Society) and Priscilla Wald (English & Women's Studies)

For In|Formation 2006-07, Duke University's John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute will be sponsoring a year-long residential Seminar on “Interface.” The Co-Conveners are Tim Lenoir (Kimberly J. Jenkins Professor of New Technologies and Society) and Priscilla Wald (English and Women's Studies). An additional eight Duke faculty will participate along with an external postdoctoral fellow, three doctoral students, a library fellow, a photonics engineer, and a “technology intellectual” (a HASTAC term for technologists who are also keenly interested in the implications of cyberinfrastructure). The faculty development seminar on Interface will partner with a FOCUS (first-year experimental interdisciplinary course cluster) program on the economics, history, and science of gaming, "Game2Know." Internal funds have been raised for a variety of research projects using MRI's, the interactive sensor space, the Interactive Multimedia Project Space (IMPS), and the VR space in the Fitzpatrick Photonics Center. The group will also be working on creating gaming environments for the humanities and the digital arts and will be creating installations in the new Arts Warehouse. In conjunction with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival's curated program in animated documentary, there will also be panels on animation as a social form. All programming will be coordinated with the Law School 's Center for the Study of the Public Domain and consistent with its dedication to protecting the free use of ideas in the public domain.
