The Spring 2024 Digital Scholarship Hackathon will provide attendees with a space for skill sharing, collective knowledge building, and networking. This hackathon will be an open meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels can learn and build together in sessions proposed in advance—sessions will be created directly from your professional development needs and skills. Based on the THATCamp format, this event will be:
collaborative – everyone participates in setting the schedule and goals for the event; you can participate as an attendee, as a session leader, or both!
informal – there will be no formal presentations or lengthy paper sessions; instead the focus is on activity: building, creating, or discussing.
productive – attendees will be encouraged to build, code, create, write (writing sessions encouraged!), or experiment; we will create an open forum for attendees to share our their work.
focused on professional development – ideally, this hackathon is an opportunity for you to learn new concepts or tools and/or get experience teaching a workshop session (both of which can go on your CV!).
Session can include, but are not limited to: digital editions, data analytics, data science core concepts, text analysis, introductory digital methods, critical technology studies methods, primers in programming languages, podcasting, maker culture, text-based video games (e.g. Twine), digital archives, and more!
This event will take place in-person on ASU’s Tempe campus on May 10, 2024. This event is tentatively scheduled from 10am-3pm, but the schedule will flex depending on participant interest and availability.
