Digital Humanities in Inside Higher Education (including John Wall!)

Many of you have been following trends in what has come to be called "Digital Humanities," and John Wall, in CHASS's English Department, recently attended a meeting at the National Endowment for the Humanities on this topic. John, as many of you know, is leading some truly innovative research on reproducing the sounds of preaching at the old St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

The NEH meeting was featured in the report, linked below, in Inside Higher Education, and John Wall's research received a mention.

I think it's important for all of us in CHASS to be aware of this movement in the humanities, because it is an example of innovation from which all disciplines can benefit.

Cornell University Society for the Humanities--Fellowships (fascinating topic!)

This opportunity is fascinating, because the theme for 2012-2013 is "RISK @ Humanities". See the details after the jump. I have some expertise in this field, so I would be pleased to provide substantive help with applications. More details at http://fundingopps.cos.com/alerts/9656
