The New Media Writing Studio at Texas Christian University is excited to announce that we’ll be hosting THATCamp Feminisms Texas 2015 on Saturday, March 28, 2015. The unconference will run from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
In picking Feminisms as our theme for this THATCamp, we hope to bring together people interested in feminisms and/or digital humanities. Undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff from Texas educational institutions are encouraged to attend. We especially seek attendees who can broaden our scope of inquiry beyond the “ivory tower” of the academy. Our event is open to the public.
The following questions inspired us to chose “THATCamp Feminisms” as our theme:
- What role does gender play (or not play) in the rapidly expanding field of digital humanities?
- How can digital humanities practitioners benefit from feminisms and feminists (especially intersectionality)?
- What can feminists learn from digital humanists?
- In what ways do these communities overlap, challenge, or oppose each other in terms of theories and practice?
THATCamp Feminisms Texas 2015 takes inspiration from the previous THATCamp Feminisms (West, South, East) held in 2013. Major thanks go Jacqueline Wernimont (Arizona State University), who hosted THATCamp Feminisms West at Scripps College, which inspired the two concurrent sister camps Feminisms East and Feminisms South.
