Retroblogging Myself on the Backchannel

Submitted by Cathy Davidson on Feb 20, 2010, 01:55 PM

Back eons ago (i.e. on Thurs in NC, today is Sat in La Jolla), at the CHAT Festival at UNC, John McGowan and I had a dialogue with a ferociously interesting audience on "The Future of Learning Institutions."  We made a radical decision before our panel to not have prepared papers or even prepared remarks and to not use any other form of technology either.  Nada.  Unscripted.  Unplugged.

A review of the first two international conferences put on by HASTAC in 2007 and 2008 and what HASTAC has to offer for our third installment at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.  

HASTAC III ?Traversing Digital Boundaries.?

This blog is part of a series of blogs leading up to the third annual HASTAC conference, which will be held April 19-21, 2009 , at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the theme ?Traversing Digital Boundaries.? As the theme suggests, the gathering will focus on the exploration of new territory and on work that crosses, manipulates, or simply ignores traditional boundaries. The conference program will include presentations of research, performances, technology demonstrations, posters, panel discussions, and ?virtual? participation via telepresence technology.   For more information, visit http://www.chass.uiuc.edu/Index/Entries/2009/1/26_HASTAC_III.html or contact HASTAC3@ncsa.uiuc.edu .
