Just a reminder that Professor Harold Short will speak in Melbourne this Friday, 27 April 2012.
Synopsis:
What challenges do arts and humanities scholars face in collaborative interdisciplinary research? This question is significant for the Digital Humanities, whose disciplinary identity and character are intrinsically multidisciplinary.
Drawing on the twenty years of experience in multidisciplinary research projects of the Department of Digital Humanities at Kings College London, Harold Short will present some reflections on the challenges faced in large collaborative projects and possible approaches to meeting those challenges. Particular emphasis will be given to the points of stress, the continuing areas of difficulty and the problems faced by collaborative research in the arts and humanities in a broader academic culture that needs to be revised.
