Patrick Murray-John – THATCamp Prime 2015 http://prime2015.thatcamp.org THATCamp Prime (RRCHNM) Sat, 27 Jun 2015 15:08:44 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 Let’s make a DH “Are we STILL talking about this?!”! http://prime2015.thatcamp.org/2015/06/26/lets-make-a-dh-are-we-still-talking-about-this-listicle/ Fri, 26 Jun 2015 00:12:45 +0000 http://prime2015.thatcamp.org/?p=178

If I remember right, it was Brian Croxall who suggested a session at a prior THATCamp of “Are we STILL FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THIS?!?!?!?!”

I respect the question. For future DH conversation, maybe a session with the only product (I love products from THATCamps!) being a list of questions that have been asked, debated, ruminated on, returned to, revisited, manifestoed (that’s a verb now), rinsed and repeated for a while.

Idea is to let lots of people know: questions that recur; who’s been involved in those conversations, openings to move forward on them.

What’s a good structure/practice/principle/whatever for continued DH training? Workshops at THATCamp have worked well, and I think make sense, both for newcomers to DH and for veterans. As new tools and techniques emerge, is there a good meta-practice for keeping training in new stuff a need?

By comparison, once upon a time the idea of ‘keeping up with current scholarship’ made sense. I don’t think it does. So, in DH, does ‘keeping up with current tools/technologies/techniques’ make sense?

What do such questions mean for all the people applying for and getting newly-funded DH jobs in academia?

THATCamp Prime will take a different approach to THATCamps by specifically inviting and appealing to experienced Digital Humanists.

The generous grant from the Mellon Foundation that fostered the development of THATCamp was designed specifically to help introduce newcomers to the Digital Humanities. Seven years, over 200 THATCamps, and countless campers later, we want to take a fresh look at THATCamp and DH by shifting from an emphasis on the needs of new DHers to thinking about what needs, projects, and conversations experienced DHers needs. As a THATCamp, it is, of course, open to all; we hope that the emphasis will make the activities very interesting for everyone!

THATCamp Prime will also be held in a new location: the Arlington campus of George Mason University.

Registration is now open! I hope to see you June 26 and 27!

Some info for travelers seeking nearby lodging.

Comfort Inn, Ballston, $117 per night if reservations are made on or before June 1.
Westin Arlington Gateway, Arlington, $159/night
Both are within reasonable walking distance of GMU’s Arlington Campus, where THATCamp Prime will take place. Both are also very close to the Ballston Metro station, which is just one station away from the Virginia Square and Clarendon stations. Virginia Square is closest to the venue, and Clarendon is closest to a variety of restaurants.
