               ANNOUNCING H-NEXA 
H-NET LIST ON INTERDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES-HUMANITIES ISSUES 
Sponsored by the NEXA Program, at San Francisco State University 
                     and 
H-Net, Humanities On-line, Michigan State University 
 
H-NEXA is the Internet discussion list for the NEXA program at San 
Francisco State University.  The NEXA program grew from "The 
Science-Humanities Convergence Program" funded by the NEH in 1975.  H-NEXA 
focuses on topics that affect both the humanities and the sciences, such 
as the nature and evolution of consciousness; cognitive science; value 
systems; the acquisition, structure and function of language; and ethical 
concerns of various kinds and contexts.  Logs and more information about 
NEXA can also be found at the H-NEXA Web Site, located at 
http://h-net.msu.edu/~nexa.  The telephone number for NEXA headquarters at 
SFSU is (415) 338-1302.  Fax is (415) 338-1301. 
 
H-NEXA is FREE and open to everyone with a serious and abiding 
interest in cross-disciplinary contacts among the humanities, 
sciences and arts.  Scholars, writers, teachers, and librarians 
professionally interested in the subject are particularly invited 
to join.  It is edited by Michael Gregory and Katherine 
Branstetter of San Francisco State University.  Like all H-Net 
lists, H-NEXA is moderated by the editors to filter out 
inappropriate posts.

directory of H-NEXA subscribers.  When they receive the 
questionnaire the editors will subscribe you.  If you have any
