Back by popular demand, THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp) will return to CHNM on June 27-28, 2009. Timed to follow the Digital Humanities 2009 conference being hosted by colleagues at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, the second annual THATCamp will strive to recreate the collegial atmosphere and innovative spirit of last spring’s event. At the same time, the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University hopes to build on the strengths of THATCamp 2008 and make THATCamp 2009 even better.
Responding to the tremendous outpouring of interest they received in the first THATCamp, the number of campers this time is expanded from 70 to 100. They will streamline the application process to allow pre-conference discussions to begin earlier and flow more freely. And they will open up their “unconference” format even further, encouraging even more spontaneous discussion and organic scheduling.
Online applications are available at http://thatcamp.org/. Deadline for application is 1 April 2009.
