I want to learn more about the digital humanities in practice and make professional connections in a field I want to work in.
I would like to learn to glean data from social networks on feminist activism conversations, specifically on rape and sexual assault.
I would like to learn more about DH in general, and increase my technical understandings and skills regarding how information and history can be visualized and told in new and different ways using digital tools (particularly mapping and interactive databases). More particularly, as a history/MLS graduate student specializing in southern history, I want to gain new/better understandings of how DH can provide platforms upon which “difficult” history can be told. How can we as information professionals, historians, etc. use digital tools to not only teach ourselves more about the histories of marginalized groups and reclaim forgotten or distorted narratives, but also engage others (especially those reluctant to listen)?
Just want to hang out with people I love.
I would like to learn how libraries can support students with digital humanities projects.
I’m always happy to see how people are use new and old technologies, especially to see how they are being used in transformative ways. I definitely want to learn how THATCamp is being used transformatively.”
Learn about transform(ative) DH ideas and directions.
I am interested in meeting new people from different backgrounds and learning more about the intersection between digital technologies and the humanities. Specifically, I am a Psychology major, so I am especially interested in how technology is impacting our culture. I also have an interest in art and would love to learn more about digital mediums as artistic outlets.
Yes, I would like to create a digital exhibition with my students.
Yes, I’d like to make connections to people who are experts in this field or have already created such an art piece.
That will develop during the conference. “
Just plan to absorb the atmosphere.
Theories and approaches about DH, coding interests, uses and tranformative uses of Omeka.
Networking and new ways to impact the international DH community with more collectivity and more regional/local initiatives beyond R1
My interest in DH is more related to content creation than tool-building, so I’d like to hear from others about what they’ve found helpful in that area for connecting with audiences. I’m interested in talking with others who are interested in
“Discussion: the ethics of social media (e.g. twitter, blogs, Facebook).
Skills: advanced website design
I am interested in the #transformDH hashtag/movement/lines of inquiry/collaborations/communities. I think DH is undergoing a much needed self-reflection and reconfiguration to think more about and to integrate more intersectionality, participants of color, queerness, and so forth. How do we do this? What coalitions can be created? What voices are gained (or lost)?
Connections and conversation on Feminism and DH. And always happy to learn new things and hear new perspectives!
Talk about making academic work more accessible through different formats.
Coding, programming, making connections with folks beyond university cultures.
connections to other social justice dh
I’ve never been to a THATCamp before, but this one in particular interests me because it’s focused in feminist/women’s studies. I’m interested to see what it’s like.
I’ve been to quite a few ThatCamps by now. What I’d especially like to see addressed is not just more conversation about why we need to #transformDH (I agree!) but tangible thoughts, advice, plans, and tools that would allow us to do so. What questions could we be asking of the DH canon of tools and data that already exists, and what could we be doing to create a new DH canon, new tools, new data at the same level of computational rigor that our less “transformative” DH colleagues are doing.
I’m especially interested in connecting with data scientists and/or people with backgrounds in open access data.
Not sure
Find new sources for my Women, Art and Culture students.
I don’t know. As vague as that sounds, I find that what I intend to learn and what I actually learn are often divergent. That said, I have been working on a digital project involving curating my grandmother’s letters and journals online. My grandmother was one of the first women in the navy during World War I, and lived in Washington D.C. during the war. So, anything I can learn around digital curation and/or women’s history will be great, as well as items of a pedagogical nature.
Meeting people with similar interest
I’d like to know more humanities scholars who are interested in coding, strategic planning, and how historical thinkers might engage open data and help in imagining new futures.
I’m hoping to learn some practical strategies for applying open data to historical research and to learn more about using digital mapping for public history and curation.
I am always surprised by what I take away from THATCamp and that is what I am most excited about. I never know if I am going to take away new tools and technologies or if I will leave filled with new questions about the challenges of DH. So, I just go with an open mind, hoping to learn and not have any expectations or limitations on what my learning will look like.
How can my research team make the computational thinking alternate reality game for adolescents we’re developing more diverse?
Nope
I would like to learn how to create animated gifs from my digital drawings. But I am also excited to meet people.
Looking forward to connecting with a diverse array of colleagues, both on campus and beyond.
-learn more about issues affecting the trans community as well as transphobia and transmisogyny
I am interested in tools to use in the classroom that make technology more accessible, and to discuss diversifying DH.
How digital technology impacts our disabilities as well as ethnic groups
I’m interested in learning more about the state of Digital Humanities, in particular I am interested in scholarship pertaining to video gaming and social media.
I’d like to have conversations about different platforms for creating transmedia projects.
“1) I am working on designing a course called “”Introduction to Global Digital Humanities”” and I would love workshop this with a group at #transformDH.
2) Alternatively, I would also like to discuss or be involved with groups that are discussing coding for humanists and/or critical approaches to coding/study of coding.”
I’m using Omeka in my class for the first time this semester and would love more information or a workshop on that.
This topic is very new to me, so I’m just interested in getting a general understanding of what kind of work is being done in this area.
I’m interested in critical DH methods. What tools can I use to collect and analyze digital data through a feminist, anti-racist, queer, and crip lens?
I’d like to hear about DH and non-Roman languages if anyone has any experience with text analysis.
I am interested in making connections with other academics that use digital video formats for social change.
I am hoping to have a unique experience were I could meet other PhD students like myself as well as faculty that does cutting-edge research on the field
analysis methods
Hoping to learn more about THATCamp & connections bw recent work in critical race gender sexuality studies and DH
I want to learn more about how to address the gender and race inequalities in tech and DH, but also issues relating to implementing DH in non-traditional education venues like community colleges. I hope to connect with other area faculty and staff who share a similar passion for broadening the reach of DH to underserved populations.
I find that the panels that most interest me vary from camp to camp, so just look forward to seeing what comes up.
I am open to all topics and connecting with all people.
Hoping to hear more about other graduate students’ experiences of DH, especially from interdisciplinary practitioners/artists.
Connections mostly, but also how to be a better online advocate as well as to better understand callout culture and my role in it
I’m very new to the field of Digital Humanities, so I’m just excited to hear what others have to say about it.
I new to the Digital Humanities, so I will just be in sponge mode, learning and drinking in everything! I am particularly interested in a session on Digital Humanities and Feminist Pedagogies, although I would not be able to lead such a session.
Meeting like-minded people, mainly. Not going specifically to learn anything in particular. Almost more interested in the stuff I’ll likely hear in talks that I wouldn’t have thought to learn about in the first place 🙂
Conversing with folks about their visions for the DH and how interdisciplines are working to make those visions happen.
Going for networking opportunities and to learn more about feminist digital humanities as a practice and pedagogy.
Would like to learn more about what it is like to go to an unconference. I have heard many good things about THATcamp, and want to connect with others who are in the Digital Humanities.
I’m relatively new to DH in practice, although have been engaging with theory for awhile. I’m interested in any and all technical things as I’ve started a research project on the epistemology of digital tools. I’m also interested in connecting with people who center social engagement in their DH scholarship.
I’m just open I don’t know.
As a relative newcomer to DH, I’m looking to learn about all aspects of this wide field. I have started efforts to learn to code in Python, so I’d love to see how people are using coding in their own work. As someone looking to bring together my interest in postcolonial studies and critical race with DH, I’m hoping to engage with scholars who have done this kind of work.
I would like to have a conversation on what it means to work in and to speak about the digital environments, where there is no conventional linear training method for one to become an expert in. Are there any concerns or advice on the use of language when talking about the technical? I always aim for the inclusiveness, but at the same time, I don’t want to offend people in the room by describing the basics in details. (But then again, how can I assume the basics?) Also, have you had any experiences of learning new technological skills off-putting? What were the obstacles?
Make connections with others in the field.
I am almost entirely devoid of ‘technical’ skills. I am hoping not so much to develop new skills as I am to learn which skills I should be developing, which skills are best suited to re-theorizing gesture in an increasingly cybernetic age.
“I’m interested in seeing how a THATCamp is run, and how I might bring such an event to Montgomery College.
For my own interests, I will be excited to learn about technologies that I can apply in my class. How to use Twitter, for example.”
