To: Digital Medievalist Community mailing list <[log in to unmask]>
Dear everyone
The Digital Medievalist is once more sponsoring sessions at Kalamazoo.
We have had proposals for one panel and two paper sessions accepted,
thus:
Panel: What every digital medievalist should know
This session will take up the theme of Jim Marchand's famous 'WEMSK'
series, focussing on how the omnipresence of digital technology has
changed what every medievalist -- teacher, scholar, reader, anyone --
should know. We used only to have books; then we had films,
television, and now we can everything in a small box, or in a browser
on our screen -- even, in a mobile phone. How does this change what
we should do, how we should do it, what we should know?
Papers: Exemplary instances of research using digital methods and materials
Several decades into the digital revolution, we may fairly ask: what
has changed? For all the digital technology about us, are we still
doing research in the same way? We invite contributions from scholars
who have found research possibilities for any aspect of medieval
studies which could not have been available in the pre-digital world.
This may be because the materials were not available, or it may be
because the methods were not available, or any combination of the two.
Papers: Using digital materials in the classroom
We invite papers narrating how teachers have used digital materials
relating to any aspect of medieval studies in the undergraduate (or
graduate) classroom. What are the benefits, difficulties, virtues and
dangers in their use? What can be achieved in the classroom with
digital materials which could not be achieved through traditional
print matter?
We have space in all these sessions. If you are interested in taking
part in any of these sessions, please send, by 8 September:
For the panel: your name and brief resume, a few sentences on what you
would say as a panel member, and a completed participant identifier
form (PID!)
For the paper sessions: as usually required for Kalamazoo -- a 300
word abstract and completed PID
You can download the PID form from
http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions.html#PIF
In the past, these have been excellent and stimulating sessions. And
I will personally buy a beer or other beverage of choice to any
participant. I recommend Bells Oberon (taste of summer, etc)
