>The Lakehead University Summer Institute for Advanced Studies offers
>graduate courses in the use of computing technologies for research in the
>humanities and social sciences. These courses would interest those scholars
>concerned to integrate the theories and methods of hypermedia into their own
>research in anthropology and sociology. This Graduate Summer Institute aims
>to promote and create a research environment where students can work with
>professional staff and researchers from leading institutions across the
>world. Students first learn about Hypermedia technologies, and then have the
>option to apply them to their own research materials. There are two sessions
>to choose from and all courses are taught at Lakehead University in Thunder
>Bay, Ontario, Canada.

>The MacKenzie Ward Trust is collaborating with Lakehead University in
>organizing this innovative Graduate Summer School in 1998. The courses
>offered at LUSIAS aim to bridge the gap between technologies and the social
>sciences. The explosion of digital information has not yet been accompanied
>by a similar growth in software tools to manage and organize digital data.
>Hypermedia technologies offer the potential to resolve these information
>management problems. They will enable students to investigate issues from
>new angles and invite new ways of molding and presenting their research
>materials. The completion of courses allows students to gain graduate level
>credits or they can be used to further professional training.

>There are two sessions in 1998:
