SDH/SEMI 2007
The 2007 conference of the Society for Digital Humanities/Société pour l'étude des médias interactifs will be held at the University of Saskatchewan, May 28-30. SDH-SEMI meets annually at the Congress of Social Sciences and Humanities, along with close to a hundred other Canadian academic societies. This year our theme is Bridging Communities: Making Public Knowledge–Making Knowledge Public. Our programme will feature a keynote address by this year’s recipient of the SDH-SEMI award, Jean Guy Meunier (Université du Québec à Montréal) and a symposium co-sponsored with the Canadian Association for the Study of Book Culture and the Canadian Society of Medievalists in conjunction with an exhibition of the Otto Ege manuscripts at the university’s Snelgrove Gallery. Peter Stoicheff (Associate Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts, University of Saskatchewan) will present a talk on digitizing the Ege manuscripts, followed by a panel of papers on “Reassembling the Disassembled Book.”
Festivities will include a conference dinner at Boffins Club on the evening of Monday, 28 May; and afterwards, we are invited to remain at the club to dance the night away with ACCUTE (Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English). We will also be arranging two excursions to Wanuskewin Heritage Park, a 240 hectare conservation preserve and interpretive centre dedicated to the history of the first nations peoples of the Western plains. Two times will be available: Saturday, May 26 at 3:15 with the option of staying for dinner or returning before at 6:30; and Wednesday, May 31, 1:00-4:30. Those interested in joining either excursion should contact Brent Nelson (brent.nelson[at]usask.ca) in advance.
