DE PERE: St. Norbert College will host THATCamp LAC (The Humanities And Technology Camp for Liberal Arts Colleges) beginning Saturday, June 4-5, 2011 on the St. Norbert College campus.

THATCamp LAC will focus on digital humanities work in the Liberal Arts College environment as well as on issues surrounding technology and pedagogy. THATCamp LAC is looking for 75 faculty, staff, and undergraduates interested in the intersection of technology and the liberal arts. Applications will be open at http://lac2011.thatcamp.org/application/ until Monday, April 18. There will be no registration or program fees, but attendees will need to pay for lodging.

THATCamps are “unconferences” that seek to upend and improve the standard model for academic conferences. THATCamp LAC will be the first THATCamp to focus on the Liberal Arts College community. For a full description of what THATCamp LAC will look like, as well as the philosophy that grounds the THATCamp movement, visit http://lac2011.thatcamp.org.
