Robert K. Englund has won the prestigious Lyman Award for scholarship in the digital humanities. Englund is Principal Investigator of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, and Professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. Full press release here.
The Lyman Award, together perhaps with the ACH/ALLC’s Roberto Busa Award, is the most prestigious honor of its kind. I know several other deserving people who were in the running this year, and so the competition was especially stiff—surely a sign of the overall health and vitality of the field. Congratulations to Professor Englund. Past winners of the Lyman include Jerome McGann and Roy Rosenzweig; past winners of the Busa include John Burrows.
