New IATH Director

UCLA’s Bernard Frischer has been appointed the next director of the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH):

“It is an honor and challenge to be chosen to succeed John Unsworth, the first Director of IATH,” says Frischer. “Under John’s leadership, IATH established itself as the premier research center in the United States for digital humanities. It is my hope to build on the achievements of the past by helping to make digital humanities a sustainable and integral approach to humanistic research both at Virginia and at other major universities around the world.” (Press release here.)

Good luck to Professor Frischer as he assumes this key role in the international humanities computing community.
