What is a THATCamp?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It’s a small, informal meeting where humanists, social scientists, and technologists of all skill levels can explore issues related to Jewish Studies, technology, and digital media. There are no formal presentations or prepared lectures; rather, THATCamp attendees create sessions, ideas, and collaborations on the spot and learn directly from one another. Amanda French, THATCamp Coordinator and Research Assistant Professor at George Mason University, will assist participants with the session planning process both before and during THATCamp Jewish Studies. Sessions topics may include any question, theme, or project related to Jewish Studies, technology, and digital media. THATCamp is a project of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. Learn more about THATCamps across the humanities at http://thatcamp.org.
