Suggest topics here by logging in and going to Posts –> Add New: what you suggest will appear below. Or just bring your ideas on Saturday. We’ll give you paper and markers to propose an idea and put it on the big grid. See the Propose page for more on session proposals.
This is also where any of you can post the notes you’ve taken on sessions. Please give the Room, Time, and Title (roughly) of the session you are writing about at the top of your entry. You can also post bibliographies, cool examples you know about, and more so long as it is relevant! Please write one post per session. To post, you need to log in and click “Posts –> Add New” — it’s that easy.
About Amanda French
(Please ask any THATCamp questions on the THATCamp forums at http://thatcamp.org/forums -- I'm no longer THATCamp Coordinator.)
I am now a member of the THATCamp Council, and I am the former THATCamp Coordinator and Research Assistant Professor at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, in which capacity I provided support for THATCamp organizers and participants, maintained http://thatcamp.org, traveled to some (not all!) THATCamps, and directed large-scale projects such as the Proceedings of THATCamp. Before that, I worked with the NYU Archives and Public History program on an NHPRC-funded project to create a model digital curriculum for historian-archivists. I held the Council on Library and Information Resources Postdoctoral Fellowship at NCSU Libraries from 2004 to 2006, and afterward taught graduate and undergraduate courses at NCSU in Victorian literature and poetry as well as in the digital humanities and in advanced academic research methods. At the University of Virginia, while earning my doctorate in English, I encoded texts in first SGML and then XML for the Rossetti Archive and the Electronic Text Center. My 2004 dissertation was a history of the villanelle, the poetic form of Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night" and Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art."
