Spread the word: THATCamp SE posters
Brian Croxall
We wanted to let you know that the THATCamp SE elves have been hard at work in the last few days. We've now got a poster that we'd love for you to share as widely as possible with your colleagues, friends, and students: anyone who might be interested in the intersection of the humanities and technology.
We've also drafted some text for that you can use in emails to accompany the poster as you pass it on:
Dear XXXXXX,
THATCamp Southeast (http://southeast2011.thatcamp.org/) is a free “unconference” for anyone working at the intersection of the humanities and technology. It will be held at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 4-6, 2011.
We’re currently accepting applications from students, faculty, librarians, technologists, museum professionals, archivists, and anyone else who is interested in the digital (and the) humanities. We’d appreciate it if you’d pass this message on, and post the attached flyer if you can.
Because THATCamp is an “unconference,” our participants will determine the ground we cover. Depending on your interests, we may hold sessions on issues in digital scholarship, pedagogy, curation, software demos, or training sessions. In other words, you won’t present formal talks, papers, or panels. Instead, you’ll share your ideas for potential THATCamp sessions prior to the Camp. At the start of the event, we’ll collectively agree on which conversations will take place.
Our event also includes a one-day “BootCamp”: a series of hands-on workshops to help get digital novices up to speed. So don’t be intimidated if you’re new to digital humanities!
The brief application is available at http://southeast2011.thatcamp.org/apply-to-attend. The deadline is January 9, 2011.
Please email thatcamp....@gmail.com with any questions, and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/THATCamp_SE). We look forward to hearing from you!
All best,
XXXXXXX
Of course, you should feel free to adapt this to your own situation. If you pass this on to a department, university, or a listserv, will you please let us know at thatcamp....@gmail.com so we don't annoy those we're trying to reach?
Many thanks for your help,
Brian
