Countries, Cultures, Communication: Digital Innovation at UCLA: May 10 May 10, 2007

What if you could virtually travel from ancient Rome to the Los Angeles of tomorrow, from archaeological digs in Egypt to Mexican-American music, from sacred texts to Arabic comic books? Join us May 10, when UCLA will gather a mix of groundbreaking digital projects into one special event that showcases how dazzling new technologies have transformed the study of the past with an eye toward the future. You will meet researchers who have mastered this new medium in service of scholarship and to further their disciplines -- from the arts to the humanities and social sciences. Please join us for this unique opportunity to travel through time and space with scholars at your side.
