What is THATCamp?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It is an unconference: an open, less formal meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot (From: http://thatcamp.org/about).

Who is THATCamp for?

This day-long, in person, fun, unconference is a fantastic opportunity for people on campus, whether formally a part of the DH@MSU community or not, to gather, learn from each other, and make connections to carry forward into the academic year. We welcome:

  • Members of the DH@MSU community, old and new
  • Students in the Digital Humanities undergraduate minor or graduate certificate, and students interested in the minor/certificate
  • Humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation
  • Anyone doing or interested in exploring work in the digital, especially (but not exclusively) in the areas of arts, humanities, and social sciences

Why THATCamp MSU?

DH@MSU is continuing our annual THATCamp each Fall targeted at MSU faculty, staff, and students for a few reasons:

  1. To bring people back together after the summer
  2. To introduce new folks to the DH@MSU community
  3. Share knowledge, expertise, and skills among the community
  4. Build connections between community members for future collaborations, troubleshooting, and ice cream social time.

THATCamp is FREE! Please register here.
