Advancing the Humanities through Technology at Community Colleges
PROJECT PRESENTERS
 
 
VISITING SCHOLARS
At the conference, six visiting scholars will present specific innovative uses of technology in the humanities and note their own perspectives on the changing nature of humanities education.  Although these technology models originate in different disciplines, for example, history, literature and art history, and use different types of source material, for example, archival or photos, all share the common feature of a new approach to the humanities as a result of applied technology.  These presentations by visiting scholars will provide models of provocative curricular and content innovation in the humanities for the teams.
