$\"\"$ <\/a>I\u2019ve heard a lot about THAT Camp, and there will be a meeting at AAR this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those who may not be familiar with it, THAT Camp is an \u201cunconference\u201d (yes, that is a thing) and its name stands for \u201cThe Humanities and Technology Camp.\u201d It is a gathering with little or no agenda (the schedule still says \u201cto be determined\u201d<\/a>) other than its heading and the provision of a place and time for people to meet and work collaboratively under the auspices of that theme.<\/p>\n

Has anyone reading this ever participated in THAT Camp or a similar unconference? If so, what was your experience like? Did you find it worthwhile?<\/p>\n
