John Kelly Lecture Thursday

John Kelly, Professor at St. John’s College, Oxford University and Distinguished Donald Keough Professor will speak on “Yeats and Eliot: A Mutual Illumination?” at 4:30 PM on Thursday, November 18, 2010 in the Oak Room on the 2nd Floor of South Dining Hall. All are welcome.

So Digitally Savvy It’s Ridiculous

Interesting New York Times article on digital scholarship: “Digital Keys for Unlocking the Humanities’ Riches.”  It is the first in the NYT Humanities 2.0 series “The Liberal Arts Meet the Data Revolution” dealing with how digital tools are changing scholarship in history, literature and the arts.

Score!

I just found out that I will be able to teach my class Migration and Identity in the New Ireland in the University’s new Experimental Classroom next semester.  This will be like teaching in a spaceport.
