D’Youville College in Buffalo, NY is staging a THATcamp August 14th-15th (The Humanities And Technology Camp). If you are not familiar, THATcamps are unconferences, so they are informal, participatory events. Here’s the website: http://buffalo2015.thatcamp.org/ Here’s the CFP if you are interested in proposing a workshop. THATCamp Buffalo 2015 (The Humanities and Technology Camp): Digital Humanities: Emerging Possibilities for Scholarship and PedagogyCall for Proposals (by August 7th) We invite proposals for 2-hour interactive bootcamp workshops that will inspire humanists in a variety of disciplines to find ways to invigorate their teaching and research through the use of digital technology. Bootcamps should be hands-on, practical, concrete, and leave participants feeling that they can go out and use what they have learned. We encourage topics that will expand the boundaries of teaching and research methods both formally and intellectually. Topics may include but are NOT limited to: - Locative Media and GPS technologies - Gaming - Text Markup/Encoding - Social Media - Digital Media Arts - Re-envisioning the classroom, library, or teaching environment - Programming - Graphic/information design (How we can design information so that it is easily read/understood?) - Creating a Website - Web-Based Pedagogies - Web-Based Assessment - Smart-Phones and Mobile Devices - Technology and Interpretive Methods - Digital Literacies How do I propose a Boot Camp? First, you need to register for THATCamp by going to < http://buffalo2015.thatcamp.org/>, clicking on the "register" page and following the instructions. Next you can write up your proposal in about 350-750 words (include links and graphics if you like) and email it to < [log in to unmask]> The THATCamp committee will review it and will contact you with any questions or suggestions, and will let you know promptly if your proposal has been accepted.
