Stephenie McLean, the program director of access and inclusion initiatives with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), says computational humanities could help her organization attract interest in high-performance computing from faculty members in the humanities and the social sciences at minority-serving institutions. NCSA, which is based at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has partnered with minority-serving institutions to share the benefits of high-performance computing.
"We're hoping the humanities project will stir additional interest in supercomputing and grid computing among the minority-serving schools," she says.
