I realize that it may be too late to attend this conference, but even if it is, I would recommend checking out their website. It contains a number of projects that fall under the category of "digital humanities." According to Wikipedia, the digital humanities is "a field of study, research, teaching, and invention concerned with the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities." Since one of our collective interests is the effect of digital technologies on the English language, I think that studies in this field are worth investigating. Since this is occurring at nearby MIT, we might consider getting involved at some point.
