Many scholars, activists, and programmers in the PNW and beyond are invested in the social and political implications of new technologies. Meanwhile, THATCamp participants such as Angel David Nieves, Marta S. Rivera Monclova, Amanda Phillips, Alexis Lothian, Tanner Higgin, and many others have proactively organized THATCamp sessions related to—for example—diversity in the digital humanities, an open digital humanities, and digital humanities and social justice.
THATCamp PNW 2011 follows in the steps of this work, becoming an opportunity for all involved to collaboratively approach new tech and networked media through the perspectives of social justice. Those who are curious about such an approach, or are experienced with it, are especially invited to register.

THATCamp PNW 2011 is a participant-driven "unconference" to be held on Saturday, November 12th at the University of Washington-Bothell. The theme for the event is tech & social justice.
What are the relationships between technological literacy & social change? Online & offline forms of participation? Projects in the cloud & projects on the ground? Come engage these issues and more. The program will emerge during the day of the event.
