Subject: [ands-general] THATCamp Canberra - Humanities and Technology
unconference
All,
If you're interested in the application of new technologies to
research in the humanities, you might like to join us at THATCamp
Canberra, to be held at the University of Canberra on 28-29 August.
http://thatcampcanberra.org/
THATCamp Canberra is a user-generated ‘unconference’ on the digital
humanities. It’s inspired by the original THATCamp (The Humanities And
Technology), organised by the Center for History and New Media at
George Mason University, and is one of a growing number of regional
THATCamps springing up around the world.
Anyone with an interest in the digital humanities is welcome to
attend. This includes academics, students (undergrads and postgrads),
independent scholars, new media practitioners, curators, archivists,
librarians, artists, hackers, developers, data-mungers and more. From
complete newbies to hardened coders, anyone with the energy to explore
the possibilities and problems raised by the application of technology
to the humanities is welcome at THATCamp Canberra.
If you're worried you might be out of your depth, don't be --
alongside the regular unconference sessions, we’ll also be running a
digital humanities BootCamp. The BootCamp will provide an introduction
to some of the tools, methods, technologies and standards used by
researchers in the digital humanities. It’s a camp within a camp – a
crash course to get you up and running, helping you to get the most
out of your THATCamp experience.
Not only is THATCamp Canberra FREE, thanks to the Center for History
and New Media and the Mellon Foundation we'll be offering 4
micro-fellowships to postgrads and early-career researchers who are
interested in exploring how digital methods might enrich or extend
their own scholarship.
For more details and to submit your application just head along to the
website: http://thatcampcanberra.org/

Cheers, Tim
