Proposals for papers and sessions are invited to be considered for

work/lives. Further topics may include, but will not be limited to:

- the web as network
- the post-national citizen
- humanities computing as an agora for multi-disciplinary engagement
- the network and society, from an Arts and Humanities perspective
- humanities computing and pedagogy
- computing in the visual, musical, and performance arts
- scholarly electronic publishing and dissemination
- digital/electronic copyright issues
- computing in multi-lingual and non-English environments
- e-accessibility
- ongoing humanities computing research involving materials in
textual, oral/aural, visual, multi-media, and other formats
- the paradoxes of standardization
- humanities versus instrumental methods
- the future of the humanities in computing

The conference will also see a number of joint sessions with
several Federation societies - and will feature special panels
designed to emphasize communication across arts and humanities
disciplines with a focus on the integration of the work of the
computing humanist and the broader humanities research community.

There is a limited amount of funding available to support a
graduate student panel. Interested parties should inquire through

Paper and/or session proposals will be accepted until December 15,
