On Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., D’Youville College is hosting the Buffalo area’s 2015 THATCamp. THATCamps (The Humanities and Technology Camp) are “unconferences.” They are open, collaborative, interactive workshop-style meetings at which humanists, artists and technologists of all skill levels gather to share and build skills to energize their teaching, research and artistic practice.
Friday’s line-up features a dynamic array of boot camp workshops with practitioners in a range of fields. On Saturday, all participants can propose sessions on the spot and we’ll teach and learn together.
To read about THATCamp, please click the included flyer, or visit the website at buffalo2015.thatcamp.org. For any questions concerning THATCamp, contact Mark Gallimore at Ext. 8353.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
