Renaissance Studies and New Technologies (RSA 2010, 8-10 April; Venice)
 
For the past eight years, the Renaissance Society of America program has
featured a number of sessions that document innovative ways in which
computing technology is being incorporated into the scholarly activity of
our community. At the 2010 RSA meeting (Venice, 8-10 April 2010), several
sessions will continue to follow this interest across several key projects,
through a number of thematic touchstones, and in several emerging areas.
 
For these sessions, we seek proposals in the following general areas, and
beyond:

a) new technology and research (individual or group projects) 

b) new technology and teaching (individual or group projects) 

c) new technology and publication (e.g. from the vantage point of authors,
traditional and non-traditional publishers)

Proposals for papers, panels, demonstrations, and/or workshop presentations
that focus on these issues and others are welcome.

** We are pleased to be able to offer several graduate student travel
subventions for presentation on these panels.  Those wishing to be
considered for the subvention should indicate this in their abstract
submission. **
 
For details of the RSA conference see www.rsa.org.

Please send proposals before May 15 to siemens_at_uvic.ca.
