Workshop on Humanities, Copyright & New Tech to be held at Durham

Call is issued for participants for workshop on Humanities, Copyright and New Technologies at Durham University, Durham, UK. 27th April 2013. The application deadline is 31st March 2013.

With the rise and popularisation of new technologies, novel avenues for information dissemination as well as creative innovation are constantly being created. Increasingly, the practices in question often prove problematic when considered through the lens of contemporary copyright framework. This workshop will address the issues raised by approaches to creativity and information dissemination in the age of digital reproduction by providing both training on copyright today and discussing modes of supporting and encouraging a relationship between technology, creative practices developed in the context and copyright. The workshop will focus on contemporary copyright issues of particular interest to scholars in humanities. Workshop sessions on offer will address a range of key questions in copyright, open access publishing as well as challenges of authorship and attribution in academic social media practices. Workshop will be led by Professor Ronan Deazley, Dr Ernesto Priego, Dr Martin Eve and Dr Caroline Edwards.
