NYC – small gather?
Next Wednesday the 17th I’ll be in New York, to attend the presentation of the Richard Lyman Award to one of my favorite people and an honored mentor, Willard McCarty. If you are interested in humanities computing, work in it, and/or know Willard, come show your support and appreciation, not to mention meet interesting people:
- 3-5pm Lyman Award recipients lead a discussion of the American Council of Learned Societies’ Report on Cyberinfrastructure in the Humanities and Social Sciences
- 5-6pm Presentation of the Award to Willard McCarty, Reader in Humanities Computing, Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King’s College London
- 6-7pm Reception in the Library’s Margaret Liebman Berger Forum
If you’d like to attend, please call Martha at 919.549.0661 ext. 156 to get put on the guest list. (It’s free to attend, but they’d like to know how many people are coming, and if you tell them you’re working on something related, they might be able to introduce you to like-minded souls.)
I’m planning to get there… well, early-ish, not too early. Lunch, anyone?.. 1:30ish, maybe 1ish? Anywhere in the city that (a) has good food and (b) is cheap. After the event I’ll probably be tied up.

If you’re near midtown (I’m at 5th Ave and 44th these days), lunch sounds like a plan.
