New session: The THATCamp Movement

May 22nd, 2010 |

Jon Voss (@lookbackmaps on Twitter) asked at the end of the THATCamp Organizing / BootCamp session if we could have an extra session tomorrow on “The THATCamp Movement.” In this one, we’ll talk about the general ethos and principles of THATCamp, including issues such as how it relates to digital humanities. I’ll get Jon to comment on this post, too, to expand on what he has in mind.

    Dan mentioned in the opening that THATCamp is a movement, and I think that’s worth exploring in more depth. I also asked for this session to get more feedback and thought on the idea of expanding digital humanities out of the confines of the academy? Is that heretical/possible? Does it/can it include libraries, archives, museums? How about developers and technologists working on commons projects related to the humanities? What about commercial entities? Is there room for everyone at the table, or does it take the focus off of digital humanities in a strictly academic context?
