Sounds like a great group of lectures. Any chance that they will be
recorded and made available over the WWW as streaming video?
One of the most pressing needs of humanists is to overcome the requirement
for travel to enjoy the benefit of such events. I think computing humanists
should take the lead in demonstrating a solution to that particular
problem. Not a deep theoretical problem concerning the use of computers in
the humanities but not every worthy problem has that status.
Hope you are having a great day!
