About the conference
This conference aims to explore the implications of the 'new technologies'
in terms of both teaching and research and, crucially, in broader social and
ethical terms. The conference will focus not on technical aspects, but on
the wider issues of ethics, gender, cognition, and ideologies and, indeed,
theologies of the object in the new virtual world.
Major keynote speakers will present their latest thinking and there will
also be workshop sessions led by eminent specialists on archiving,
exhibiting and online teaching.
The conference will provide an opportunity for the sharing of perspectives
on the use and the implications of new technologies in research and teaching
in the arts and humanities. It will also be an occasion for active
participation in workshops and the sharing of good practice.
Exhibition of new technologies
An exhibition accompanying the conference will take place at University
College London from 20-22 September. This will enable all conference
participants to have hands-on experience of some successful projects in
research, teaching and online exhibiting. The exhibition will also be open
to students and members of the public.
