Building Blocks Steering Committee


THE BUILDING BLOCKS STEERING COMMITTEE was established by the Computer Science & Humanities Steering Committee to develop the project from the parameters it established. The Building Blocks Steering Committee consists of two project co-directors, seven field representatives, an ACLS representative and three advisors. Its responsibilities include helping to plan the workshops, advise on the plenary sessions and assist participating societies/organizations to keep their scholar/members informed about the project and its progress.

Building Blocks Steering Committee members are responsible for working with the participating societies as well as in helping to identify and involve individual creative humanists to ensure the bottom-up infusion of insights and definitions of needs of the field.

The field committees are composed of representatives from each of the societies. In selecting their composition, the field reps on the steering committee also aim to capture a variety of voices from the field and to include at least one computer scientist.
