HASTAC 2015: Exploring the Art & Science of Digital Humanities

May 27-30, 2015 Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI

#hastac2015

Join us on the campus of Michigan State University to celebrate and explore a range of Digital Humanities Scholarship, Research, and Performance! The conference features sessions that address, exemplify, and interrogate the interdisciplinary nature of DH work. HASTAC 2015 challenges participants to consider how the interplay of science, technology, social sciences, humanities, and arts are producing new forms of knowledge, disrupting older forms, challenging or reifying power relationships, among other possibilities.

We are delighted to feature the following speakers:
