HASTAC 2016

Striving for Impact: How can interdisciplinary research in humanities, arts, and technology have greater exchange with public and non-academic communities? HASTAC's 2016 conference seeks to emphasize and encourage broader conversations about the past, current, and potential impact of interdisciplinary work in research and education. What new institutional or research configurations are available, or urgently necessary?

HASTAC 2016 will investigate collectively the potential for new work, and also encourages participants to engage ways that collaborative teams might use channels beyond academic publication to impact local communities, national conversations, or worldwide systems.

Throughout four days of events, HASTAC 2016 will feature representatives and activities from GitHub Education, SLATE Magazine, and the Modern Language Association's Initiative for Connected Academics. Additionally, there will be post-conference workshops on data visualization and makerspaces (details included on registration form). Speakers include Michael Crow, President of Arizona State University and author of Designing the New American University; Liza Potts, Director of Writing, Information, and Digital Experience (WIDE) Center at Michigan State University; and Gary Dirks, Directory of the Julie Ann Wrigley School for Sustainability at Arizona State University.
