Description

This symposium on digital cultures, big data and society focuses on questions of close and distant reading and the critical functions of digital tools in the humanities. The symposium will consider some of the pressing questions in the fields of digital humanities. It will also mark the launch of the Industrial Memories project, a digital re-reading of the Ryan Report.

Professor Geoffrey Rockwell (University of Alberta) is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities Computing at the University of Alberta.
