Did you miss our THATcamp? Or do you want to relive it? Organizing committee members Ece Turnator & Hannah Alpert-Abrams wrote up a lovely recap of the two-day unconference. Check it out here on the UT History Department’s blog, Not Even Past.

Austin-area folks can join the UT-based Digital Humanities Discussion List to stay connected to (and help build!) the Central Texas DH community. Monthly happy hours are promoted via this list, and subscribers are encouraged to post updates, events, inquiries, grant announcements, calls for papers, opportunities for collaboration, etc.

Texans (and friendly neighbors) are invited to create a profile on the Texas Digital Humanities Consortium website. We are currently working to improve the site and build out the Consortium itself. A post-TCDL mini-conference is being planned, and the Steering Committee is developing a governance structure for the group. Join us!

As everyone who has participated in a THATCamp knows, successful unconferences depend upon the interest, collaboration, and generosity of numerous individuals and institutions. We feel especially fortunate to have received a lot of support from local and regional sources in both the public and private spheres:

THATCamp Digital Pedagogy ATX 2016 is hosted by the University of Texas Libraries. The free registration, food & drink, and commemorative schwag are all funded by generous contributions from UT’s College of Liberal Arts, Department of Classics, Harry Ransom Center, Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services, LILLAS Benson Digital Scholarship, & Program in Comparative Literature, and FromThePage, Southwestern University Smith Library Center Department of Research and Digital Scholarship, and St. Edward’s Office of Information Technology.

The planning committee is an inter-institutional group composed of UT’s Jessica Aberle, Hannah Alpert-Abrams, Cindy Fisher, Jennifer Hecker, Elon Lang, Adam Rabinowitz, Fatma Tarlaci & Ece Turnator, and Rebecca Frost Davis, Kim Garza & Brittney Johnson (St. Edward’s University), Charlotte Nunes (Southwestern University), and Ben Brumfield (FromThePage).

Finally, we would like to thank all of our participants for traveling from around the country and around the region to join us in making THATCamp Digital Pedagogy ATX 2016 such a productive and compelling time. We hope you all have enjoyed Austin in the new year and will keep in touch!

Howdy!
