Dear Carol Ann -
You might want to look over what we have been doing at SFSU re
interdisciplinary collaboration (we call it convergence) among sciences,
humanities and the arts via team-teaching; you will find the NEXA
Program
URL below. There are a couple of essays that explain the theory behind
this program, initiated in 1973 with a Pilot Grant from NEH ("Major
Figures
and Their Impact: Newton, Darwin and Einstein") and expanded via a $1
million Development Grant in 1975, also from NEH. We have recently been
candled by Howard Gardner of Harvard's Project Zero. Good hunting!

3/3/04-3/7/04)
Apologies for any cross-postings. I thought this may interest folks on
the
list.
Call for Abstracts: 2004 NEMLA Convention
Pittsburgh, PA, March 3-7, 2004
The Culture of the Programmer
This panel will examine the "culture of the programmer," ranging from
cyberpunk fiction to programming manifestos. In particular, essays that
examine the site of the computer programmer (or attendant titles such as
software engineer, information architect, hacker, and so on) as a
significant space for political intervention in the network society are
welcome. Anything that depicts or discusses software engineering or the
identity of the computer programmer is suitable.
Texts under consideration include:
- -- cyberpunk fiction (Gibson, Stephenson, etc.)
- -- films (The Matrix movies, eXistenZ, TRON, The Thirteenth Floor, War
Games, Hackers, etc.)
- -- software manifestos such as Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the
Bazaar," Richard Stallman's "GNU Manifesto," Jaron Lanier's "One-Half a
Manifesto," or Tim Berners-Lee's "The Semantic Web"
- -- histories of hacking, such as the work of Steven Levy
- -- any other cultural representations of computer programming
Inquiries and 1-page abstracts should be sent (via email or snail mail)
