2008-2009 HASTAC Steering Committee

We are delighted to introduce our expanded 2008-2009 HASTAC Steering Committee.  Along with the HASTAC Scholars, we are taking this year to expand our networks, reach further afield, find new partners, and make the network of networks ever stronger and more interesting.
