More info: http://patristics.org/annual-meeting/call-for-papers/ jk -- Joel Kalvesmaki Editor in Byzantine Studies Dumbarton Oaks 1703 32nd St. NW Washington, DC 20007 (202) 339-6435 Title: Digital Patristics Chair: Joel Kalvesmaki Abstract: The digital age holds great promise for the study of early Christianity. Scholars presenting in this session will explain how electronic tools have enabled them to understand late antiquity and to convey that understanding to colleagues, students, and the general public. Emphasis will be put on questions central to our discipline such as: How, if at all, have the digital humanities answered or changed the questions we ask? How can scholars of early Christianity better organize themselves to use the digital humanities more effectively? Presenters are encouraged to provide ample time for demonstrations and discussions.
