The New Media Writing Studio at Texas Christian University hosted THATCamp Feminisms Texas 2015 on Saturday, March 28, 2015 (8:30 am-5:30 pm).
In picking Feminisms as our theme for THATCamp, we hoped to bring together people interested in feminisms and/or digital humanities. We especially sought attendees who could broaden our scope of inquiry beyond the “ivory tower” of the academy.
The following questions inspired us to choose “THATCamp Feminisms” as our theme:
- What role does gender play (or not play) in the rapidly expanding field of digital humanities?
- How can digital humanities practitioners benefit from feminisms and feminists (especially intersectionality)?
- What can feminists learn from digital humanists?
- In what ways do these communities overlap, challenge, or oppose each other in terms of theories and practice?
THATCamp Feminisms Texas 2015 takes inspiration from the previous THATCamp Feminisms (West, South, East) held in 2013. Major thanks go Jacqueline Wernimont (Arizona State University), who hosted THATCamp Feminisms West at Scripps College, which inspired the two concurrent sister camps Feminisms East and Feminisms South.
