The NMWS has created Google docs for all the sessions. We’ll use this embed code to put them on the site:

Here is the piece of code you will need:

Here is a video showing you how to do it:

Try it out when you have a chance. Once you have done it a couple of times, you’ll be able to do it in less than a minute.

Between now and Saturday the 28th, please visit the WordPress site and propose a session and/or workshop: feminismstexas2015.thatcamp.org/propose/. At an unconference, the program isn’t set beforehand: it’s created on the first day with the help of all the participants rather than beforehand by a program committee. Our first session on Saturday will be setting the schedule and sessions for the rest of the day.

If you haven’t already registered for a free account on the WordPress site but you’ve paid your registration fee via TCU’s Extended Education site, go here and fill out the registration form: feminismstexas2015.thatcamp.org/register/#registerwp

There are roughly four things people do in THATCamp sessions: Talk, Make, Teach, and Play. Sometimes one session contains elements of all these, but it’s also a fair taxonomy for THATCamp sessions. In a Talk session proposal, you offer to lead a group discussion on a topic or question of interest to you. In a Make session proposal, you offer to lead a small group in a hands-on collaborative working session with the aim of producing a draft document or piece of software. In a Teach session, you offer to teach a skill, either a “hard” skill or a “soft” skill. In a Play session, anything goes — you suggest literally playing a game, or playing around as a group with one or more technologies, or just doing something fun or original.

For examples of sessions, see the Propose page on the site.

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.
