CFP: Renaissance Studies and New Technologies

Renaissance Society of America Annual Conference
Chicago, 3-5 April 2008

For the past seven years, the RSA program has featured a number of sessions that document innovative ways in which computing technology is being incorporated into the scholarly activity of our community. At the 2008 RSA meeting (Chicago, 3-5 April 2008), several sessions will continue to follow this interest across several key projects, through a number of thematic touchstones, and in several emerging areas.

For these sessions, we seek proposals in the following general areas, and beyond:

a) new technology and research (individual or group projects)
b) new technology and teaching (individual or group projects)
c) new technology and publication (e.g. from the vantage point
of authors, traditional and non-traditional publishers)

Proposals for papers, panels, demonstrations, and/or workshop presentations that focus on these issues and others are welcome. Please send proposals before May 15 to siemens_at_uvic.ca.
