Annual Digital Humanities THATCamp 2025

ATTENTION:

Graduate Students

Greetings from the MSU Digital Humanities Community! 

Please share the following invitation with your faculty colleagues, students, and staff.

We would like to invite you and your colleagues to join us for the annual Digital Humanities THATCamp, taking place on Thursday, August 21st from 8:30AM - 3:00PM in the Digital Scholarship Lab of the MSU Main Library (Second Floor, West).

*Light breakfast, lunch will be served. Please join us for an Ice Cream Social from 3:15PM-4:30PM. Location outdoors, TBD.

What is THATCamp?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It is an unconference: an open, less formal meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot (From: https://thatcamp.org/about).

Who is THATCamp for?

This day-long, in person, fun, unconference is a fantastic opportunity for people on campus, whether formally a part of the DH@MSU community or not, to gather, learn from each other, and make connections to carry forward into the academic year. We welcome:

  • Members of the DH@MSU community, old and new
  • Students in the Digital Humanities undergraduate minor or graduate certificate, and students interested in the minor/certificate
  • Humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation
  • Anyone doing or interested in exploring work in the digital, especially (but not exclusively) in the areas of arts, humanities, and social sciences

Why THATCamp MSU?

DH@MSU is continuing our annual THATCamp each August targeted at MSU faculty, staff, and students for a few reasons:

  1. To bring people back together after the summer
  2. To introduce new folks to the DH@MSU community
  3. Share knowledge, expertise, and skills among the community
  4. Build connections between community members for future collaborations, troubleshooting, and ice cream social time.
