UCLA Mellon Seminar 2008-09: "What is(n't) Digital Humanities?" to be broadcast in Second Life
Co-organized by: Jeffrey Schnapp (Stanford University, Stanford Humanities Laboratory), Visiting Professor of Digital Humanities (UCLA) and Todd Presner (UCLA), Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature

In this year-long, public seminar, participants are invited to examine, historicize, and critique the emergent field of "digital humanities" with experts and practitioners from various fields. Bringing together insights from media, game, literary and cultural studies, we will attempt to take stock of humanistic inquiry at the start of the 21st century. For a schedule of speakers, please visit  http://www.digitalhumanities.ucla.edu/ and click on "Mellon Seminar."
