THE 2001 CONFERENCE OF THE HUMANITIES & TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION
The HUMANITIES AND TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION is an interdisciplinary scholarly
society that explores
the interactions of technology, science, the humanities, and the social
sciences. Proposals need not address the
conference theme; we welcome papers dealing with all aspects of the
interactions of the humanities and
technology and wish to draw in as broad a range of disciplines and
perspectives as possible. For the 2001
conference, we are particularly interested in receiving proposals for papers
that deal with the general theme of
concepts of creativity in the humanities, science and technology.
This year's theme addresses the question
How can we enrich our conceptions of creativity by exploring how creativity
is understood, encouraged, and evolving in different academic and practical
enterprises?
Broadly interpreted, the conference theme encompasses the fine arts,
literature, and architecture as well as
engineering design and scientific discovery.
Possible topics include
* the nature and meaning of creativity in various disciplines
*
* the role of technology in enabling, modifying, or inhibiting
creativity
*
* design as common ground for the arts and technology
*
* pedagogical approaches to creativity
*
* the role and cultivation of imagination in various disciplines
*
* the connections between creativity and ethics
*
* comparing visualization, sketching, and drafting
*
* various disciplinary approaches to invention and innovation
*
* historical and philosophical perspectives
*
*gender and creativity
