'On-demand Virtual Research Environments: a case study from the Humanities'
*ALL WELCOME*
Virtual Research Environments are often highly specialised concentrating efforts around a single collection. The gMan project aims to demonstrate cross-collection discovery, annotation, reporting & management in an on-demand VRE (using gCube) with three heterogeneous classical collections: The Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis (HGV),
Projet Volterra & The Inscriptions of Aphrodisias (IAph).
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

King's Seminar in Humanities Computing
Each year the King's Seminar in Humanities Computing presents a series of lectures and demonstrations by leading scholars, postgraduate students, and practitioners from across the disciplines of the humanities and nearby social sciences. The Seminar aims not only to present work at the leading edge of application but also to provide a forum in which this work is subject to critical reflection and thoughtful probing.
The Seminar includes the biennial Wisbey Lecture, in which a scholar of international standing is invited to explore the effects, implications, and promise of computing and communications technologies for the arts and humanities, and of the challenges that the arts and humanities pose for those technologies.
All events take place at King’s College London unless otherwise noted. The public is warmly invited. For further information contact Dr. John Lavagnino (john.lavagnino@kcl.ac.uk), (0)20 7848 2453.
The Seminar is promoted jointly by the Centre for Computing in the Humanities and the Office for Humanities Communication.
Programme for 2009-10
This year’s programme was organized by Tamara Lopez and John Lavagnino.

Inaugural lecture: Professor Willard McCarty
2nd February: Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing
Attending from and to the Machine
17.00 Great Hall, Strand Campus
Abstract
Though a graybeard verging on his institutional retirement, I celebrate the role of computing in inaugurating investigations, my own and those of others, into what we do not know but are curious to find out. I celebrate computing as one of our most potent speculative instruments, for its enabling of competent hands to force us all to
rethink what we trusted that we knew. Like generations of our wiser predecessors, I celebrate learning for its own sake, but by other means than they had. I celebrate our responsibilities to those whom we teach, not merely to prepare them for the world as it is but more to open up,
with the help of computing, "the alternativeness of human possibility".
