The Past Speaks

People interested in Digital Humanities should check out the forthcoming UWO THATCamp.

In affiliation with THATCamp, the Faculty of Information and Media Studies (FIMS) in will be hosting an unconference on the Digital Humanities at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada on May 21 & 22, 2011.

The unconference will focus on topics of interest in the Humanities and Technology.  Faculty, graduate students, librarians, archivists, developers, programmers and interested amateurs are all be invited to participate.

Unlike a formal conference, this two-day event will not consist of lectures, but will instead encourage open and active participation by all. The participants get to decide the nature of the discussions for a series of simultaneous talk sessions over the weekend.

ThatCampUWO will also offer BootCamps, essentially workshops that  include a one hour introduction and a half hour session for people to volunteer information about their research related to a new technology.

What is THATCamp?

THATCamp is a free, open “unconference” where humanists and technologists meet to work together for the common good.
