That’s right, we’re organizing a ThatCamp!

“Diving into the Digital Humanities”
October 24-25, 2014
San Diego State University
@ The new Aztec Student Union

THATCamp is “The Humanities and Technology Camp,” and it is an “un-conference” meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot.

This THATCamp is special because it is organized through a unique collaboration between 4 regional institutions: San Diego State University, UCSD, Cal State University at San Marcos, and University of San Diego. Inspired by the open, grass-roots efforts of our regional networking group, DHSoCal, this ThatCamp promotes working together and collaborating across disciplinary, departmental, and institutional divides.

All ThatCamps are open to all kinds of campers, but this one is envisioned as a way to get new folks engaged in the DH and to create new networks of collaboration. So, if you have any kind of inkling to learn about the Digital Humanities– whether you’re already a dedicated digital humanist researcher or an absolute newbie, whether you are a student, teacher, or curious community member– come to camp!

Our THATCamp is about jumping into the Digital Humanities, getting wet, and learning to swim.

Dive in. The water’s fine!

I am honored to have an essay, “Electronic Literature as Comparative Literature,” included in the 2014 – 2015 Report on the State of the Discipline of Comparative Literature, edited by David Damrosch (Harvard) and Ursula Heise (UCLA). http://stateofthediscipline.acla.org/

It’s out, and it has my entry, “The Impact of Old Media on New Media.”
