THATCampCaribe Sets Sail: Registration Open!

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Sonya Donaldson

We are happy to announce that registration is now open for THATCampCaribe. Slots fill up fast, so sign up today!

WHEN: THATCampCaribe will run from Monday, November 12-Wednesday, November 14.

WHERE:University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez.

THATCampCaribe is an unconference. There are no papers, no pre-conceived panels, no keynote speaker. The goal of THATCamp Caribe 2012 is to bring together digital humanists with scholars, librarians, artists, technologists and tinkerers to imagine the future of digital humanities in the Caribbean broadly-understood. The first day will consist of a bootcamp (workshops), where you can pick up digital skills. The actual conference takes place Tuesday and Wednesday.

THATCampCaribe was designed to coincide with the American Studies Association’s (ASA) annual meeting, which takes place in San Juan from Nov. 15-18. This makes it easy for ASA conference attendees to participate in THATCampCaribe. We will arrange for buses to transfer participants to and from both locations. We have also partnered with the ASA and the Caribbean Studies Association, among many others. For a listing of our partners, click here.
