JO'D: gone south . . .

On 1 July 2002, I became Provost of Georgetown University and my personal site will henceforth reside there. I have a horror, however, of broken links, and so with the kind collaboration of my Penn colleagues and as an electronic monument to many years of such collaboration, Penn URL's to my pages will continue to work for the foreseeable future. But only the Georgetown site will be consistently current and accurate.

James J. O'Donnell is Professor of Classical Studies and Vice Provost for Information Systems and Computing at the University of Pennsylvania. On 1 July 2002, he will become Provost of Georgetown University. He has published widely on the cultural history of the late antique Mediterranean world and is a recognized innovator in the application of networked information technology in higher education. In 1990, he co-founded Bryn Mawr Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the humanities ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on the work of Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students. He also serves as resident Faculty Master of Hill College House at Penn. He is a Trustee of the National Humanities Center and has served as a Director and has been elected President for 2003 of the American Philological Association; he has also served as a Councillor of the Medieval Academy of America. (A selection of audio and video files is available in which Professor O'Donnell presents his views on current issues in higher education.)

April 2001: See now "Augustine in Algeria" for an informal trip report on a conference held in Algiers and including visits to archaeological sites of great interest.
