No CommentsWelcome to the official site of the 2011 HASTAC conference!
The conference will be held on December 1-3 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Many of our events will be hosted in the North Quadrangle, a new center for technology-driven programs at UM, including Communication Studies, the Department of Screen Arts and Cultures, and the School of Information. The “North Quad” offers living-learning dorms, classrooms, interactive meeting areas, and other innovative spaces for education.
This year’s theme, Digital Scholarly Communication, focuses on the promise and challenge of new forms of academic publication and dissemination.
The conference will feature many international initiatives such as the Law in Slavery and Freedom project. It will also explore issues of cultural change among digital natives and digital immigrants, innovation in graduate education, and pressing questions surrounding notions of access, circulation, and representation. In other words, this year’s conference examines many of the broadest and most urgent issues affecting scholarly communication and its moral, social, legal, conceptual, and international scope.
