Registration is now open for a May 3 event at the Lincoln Center campus devoted to exploring the many forms that writing can take in the digital realm.
The event is called THATCamp Digital Writing, billed as an informal,
participatory “unconference” where people learn to use various digital tools
and platforms.
“From tweeting to multimodal research papers to Prezi,
writing these days means more than just black text on a white background,” says
the event’s website. “Through workshops and discussions, THATCamp Digital Writing aims to deepen and
advance our notions of all facets of composition.”
Anyone who wants to go should register on the THATCamp
website.
The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 3, and participants should check
in that day on the 12th floor of the Lowenstein building.
THATCamp stands for The Humanities and Technology Camp. It
is not an organization; it is, rather, a name and logo that are licensed to
those who want to hold a THATCamp event. The Fordham event is sponsored by the
office of Michael Latham, Ph.D., dean of Fordham College at Rose Hill, and
co-organized by Elizabeth Cornell, Ph.D., a Fordham IT communications
specialist.
The event is being kicked off the day before—Friday, May 2—with
a 4 p.m. talk at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice by two experts:
Matthew K. Gold, associate professor of English and digital humanities at City
Tech and the Graduate Center, CUNY, and James J. Brown, assistant professor of
English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who teaches in the university’s
digital studies program.
