Computer hardware in contemporary society has brought technology increasingly within the attention and reach of those working in the Humanities. In turn, many within the technology sector have become aware that understanding human nature is fundamental to understanding our interactions with technology.
InterFace: Humanities and Technologies is a non-profit effort to provide a forum through which researchers can learn about the latest developments in both Technology and the Humanities in order to create groundbreaking new combinations between them. The forum was considered widely successful in its first year, gathering 70 researchers to discuss ideas and future projects involving humanities and technology related subjects. Who should participate: Postgraduates, postdocs and early-career academics who are based in either technology or humanity departments are particularly welcome. Delegates will be expected to contribute expertise from their own field but need have no more than lay knowledge and enthusiasm for the other. Further details can be found on the "How to apply" page. |
