Alan Liu at Otago

I’m fortunate to be hosting Professor Alan Liu (UC Santa Barbara) for two back-to-back events next week:

1) Alan Liu on “WhatEvery1Says About the Humanities”
Friday, 27 November 2015 at 5:15pm – RMOOT (Richardson Moot Court)

Professor Alan Liu discusses the sociocultural context and digital-humanities methods involved in the 4Humanities initiative’s ongoing study of public discourse on the humanities.

2) Alan Liu on “Literature+: Teaching the Humanities in the Digital Age”
Friday, 27 November 2015 at 2:00pm – Commerce 2.22

How will humanist pedagogical ideals and practices adapt to the digital age? Anyone who cares about what teaching the humanities in a digital age could or should look like in the future should come along to this event with distinguished scholar and champion of the humanities Professor Alan Liu (UC Santa Barbara).

Wellington is for… Scholars

I’m off to Wellington today for the Memory Research in Aotearoa Symposium.

I’ll be doing a piece taken from section II of my new book on Memory & Emotion, and specifically one that deals with new research on the cognitive psychology of nostalgia.

I like Wellington.
