Starting “Internet in the humanities: an insight from Ireland”

Last year, I co-edited a book and published it. The particularity of this book was that it targeted young researchers, having just completed, or nearly completed their Ph.D., with a research focus on language learning by means of Internet technology and web-based computer applications. The task was rather challenging, given the fact that it was my first editing involvement. But the experience gained in doing it was just invaluable. Furthermore, the book was well received by the community, which was a great reward for so much effort made with regard to quality.

Empowered with this new skill, I am now ready to make another one .

I am co-editing a second book provisionally entitled “Internet in the humanities: an insight from Ireland” with Cathy Fowley and Claire English, two researchers who have recently completed their PhDs in Dublin City University, just like me, in areas related to digital humanities. The aim of this new project is to publish selected papers, whose focus will be on the Internet in the humanities in Ireland, just like the title says.

The Call for Papers has been announced. If you are researching in the domain of Internet in the humanities in Ireland, we would like to invite you to contribute to this book. Deadline for submission is on the 15th of March 2002. Please visit the publisher’s website for more information.
