In his latest book, Humanities Computing, McCarty makes the case for elevating the field as a separate academic discipline. \u201cWe tend to construe computing in the humanities in terms we understand \u2013 as an efficient helper or mechanical aid to existing fields like history, literature, or philosophy,&#8221; he said.<br \/>\nJames O&#8217;Donnell, provost of Georgetown University and chair of the award selection committee, called McArty, \u201ca doer, a thinker, and perhaps a wizard.\u201d O\u2019Donnell added that McArty\u2019s \u201cexplorations in the practical and theoretical dimensions of the application of information technology to the problems of humanistic learning have made him a widely recognized international leader.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Update Humanities Computing &#8216;Wizard&#8217; Honored for Scholarship The National Humanities Center, a private institute for advanced study in the humanities, awarded Willard McCarty its 2006 Richard W.
