Fall 2011 Digital Humanities Forum at KU

KU’s Fall 2011 Digital Humanities Forum (sponsored by the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities) is coming up in just over a month. The Forum consists of a variety of digital humanities (DH) programs held over three days:

 

(1) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, BOOTCAMP WORKSHOPS: a set of in-depth, hands on workshops on digital tools and other DH topics. Topics include TEI, WordPress, Omeka, GIS, “R”, Grantwriting, Project Management, and DH in the Undergraduate Curriculum.

 

(2) FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, THATCamp: an “unconference” for technologists and humanists. All participants will convene on the morning of Friday, September 23rd to propose, negotiate, and select sessions.

 

(3) SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, REPRESENTING KNOWLEDGE IN THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES: a one-day program of panels and poster sessions allowing KU and non-KU faculty and graduate students to explore the theory and practice of knowledge representation, broadly conceived, and to showcase their digital humanities projects and methodologies.

 

All events are free and open to KU and non-KU partcipants, but space is limited (especially for the workshops) so please register if you would like to attend).  If you are unable to join us in person, you can follow along online, as we expect there to be plenty of tweeting, blogging, and online collaboration!
