Registration is open for the SIUE THATCamp 2016. Registration is $10 and open to anyone who is interested in participating.

Morris University Center Conference Center
To register, please visit SIUE2016THATCamp. 

This digital humanities unconference is a small, open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together.

The breakout sessions are loosely formed prior to the conference and finalized the first day of the unconference. This allows for a dynamic, collaborative atmosphere as opposed to a formal, rigid and competitive format of a typical conference setting. 

The theme of this year’s THATCamp is “Engaging Communities through Digital Humanities.”

We invite you to come and share your ideas for digital humanities, community and collaboration.

For more information, contact Lora Smallman at siuethatcamp@gmail.com.
