         Subject: Digital humanities at the 2007 MLA Convention

Some Humanist readers may be attending this year's Modern Language
Association convention in Chicago, starting on Thursday the 27th.
There are a number of talks on digital humanities and related subjects
at the MLA, and to help those interested in finding them, the
Association for Computers and the Humanities has compiled a guide to
these talks, based on the convention program. It is available at:

            http://www.ach.org/mla/mla07/guide.html

The level of d.h. activity at the MLA has risen for the second year
running, and as always the range of subjects these sessions touch on
covers many languages and kinds of study. There's the first mention
of GPS that I've seen in the title of an MLA paper--- you can tell
that it's something new to this venue when an acronym gets explained
within the title itself.
