U.S. and U.K. Cultural Agencies Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Scholarly Collaboration at Joint Conference Examining National Art and Identity

U.S. and U.K. Cultural Agencies Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Scholarly Collaboration at Joint Conference Examining National Art and Identity

This morning at a joint conference, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) of the United Kingdom signed a memorandum of understanding to foster scholarly collaboration and research in the humanities. NEH Chairman, Dr. Bruce Cole, and AHRC Director of Research, Professor Shearer West, signed the memorandum of understanding, inaugurating the first of two academic conferences. Today’s conference, “Picturing the Nation,” featured presentations from scholars from the United States and the United Kingdom on how art can illuminate a nation’s history. A second conference will take place in the United Kingdom in 2009.

“Art serves as a primary document of a civilization; it can reveal important truths about a nation’s people and past,” said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. “With this in mind, the Endowment is delighted to collaborate formally with the United Kingdom’s Arts and Humanities Research Council to examine how art can best be integrated in scholarship and education to enrich the understanding of history.”

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
