Computing and the Practice of History will explore the possibilities and challenges that come with the use of digital technology in historical and other humanities research. Our speakers discuss how they use computing technology, and they will also be invited to address larger ques­tions regarding the future of computing and humanities research. They are selected to represent a variety of historical fields and a variety of technologies, so that our series might offer the broad­est possible introduction to the ways that historians are using computing technology.

In the 2015-16 academic year, we will be hosting a Literature and Digital Humanities Townsend working group, which we warmly invite you all to join.
